"the cooperative as opposed to the competitive factors operating in the development of society." I'm not sure what this means, but I have a sneaky feeling it's a way of avoiding saying "aid of a mutual nature". Mglovesfun (talk) 15:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's in [www.dictionary.com] with two definitions:
- (sociology) the cooperative as opposed to the competitive factors operating in the development of society.
- arrangements made between nations to assist each other
- I see nothing here that would go beyond (deprecated template usage) mutual + (deprecated template usage) aid > delete. --Hekaheka 08:34, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

- It's in [www.dictionary.com] with two definitions:
- Among local governments in New York State, there are formal agreements (probably sanctioned and defined by law, possibly state law) regarding how emergency-services/public-safety departments respond to requests for assistance. IOW, the second definition would need to be generalized at least to include other levels of government. I suspect that there are similar arrangements existing in the private sector that operate under the same name. DCDuring TALK 13:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Deleted as copyvio. If someone re-adds it in future, we can evaluate whether the sense they add is citeable. Until then . . . —RuakhTALK 00:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
