== Taking Out Link to Henry George School of Social Science ==

In the article on [[Henry George]] I linked the mention of the Henry George School Social Science to that schools website (http://www.hgsss.org/). You took out the link. I'm curious why. -- Matt

A Theory of Justice

Hello FreeKnowledgeCreator. I noticed that you recently changed "inequalities can actually be just in Rawls' view" to "inequalities can actually be just on Rawls' view" in the A Theory of Justice article. The phrase "on Rawls' view" doesn't make sense. Is your concern with "just in Rawls' view" that the word "just" could be misinterpreted to mean "only" or "simply" when in this context it's supposed to refer to the adjective form of justice? Here's a possible edit that addresses that problem: "An important consequence here, however, is that inequalities, according to Rawls, can actually be just, as long as they are to the benefit..."

In general the article needs some editing by a knowledgable person. I see that there have been attempts to fix it which have been messed up and then fixed again. I would especially like to fix this early sentence in the Objective section: "In A Theory of Justice, Rawls argues for a principled reconciliation of liberty and equality, it is meant to apply to the basic structure of a well-ordered society." Is this a good fix: "In A Theory of Justice, Rawls argues for a principled reconciliation of liberty and equality that is meant to apply to the basic structure of a well-ordered society."

Thank you. poppenhe (talk) 17:16, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You changed "on" to "in" without realizing that it changes the meaning of the sentence concerned. "On Rawls's view" means that a position can be justified using Rawls's work and ideas. "In Rawls's view" means that the position is considered justified by Rawls himself. It's a perfectly simple distinction, which your edit confused. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. The sentence should probably be rewritten if that's the meaning. Currently it just seems like a syntax error, at least to those of us who speak North American English. Thanks for the explanation. poppenhe (talk) 12:09, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at The_Destruction_of_the_European_Jews shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
the history page shows you've deleted the wikitext displaying left|frame|Professor Raul Hilberg three times in under a week. The B in BRD was your deletion. The R was my revert, which restored. The D is what's happening, which should happen while the restore stays in place. Your edit warring is contrary to that. You've opened the FFD, now let it run its course. In the mean time, the restore should stay in place. I urge you to undo your last revert. Elvey(tc) 07:24, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep restoring an obvious copyright violation and you will find yourself the one in hot water. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 07:46, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You need to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring#EX5. Urgently.--Elvey(tc) 08:04, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Removal of clear copyright violations or content that unquestionably violates the non-free content policy (NFCC). What counts as exempt under NFCC can be controversial, and should be established as a violation first." In my judgment the content you are restoring does "unquestionably violate the non-free content policy." I think the case is crystal clear. I have indicated as much at Files for discussion.

Reply filed at the FFD.--Elvey(tc) 08:45, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that an administrator with (c) expertise has supported my position that "[[Image:Hilberg2.jpg|left|frame|Professor Raul Hilberg]]" should stay in the article during the FFD, writing, "Image is currently at FFD. Removing it while the discussion is ongoing prevents other users from being able to see it and opine. Adding link to discussion.)". I hope that's enough to get you to stop edit warring and avoid acting like that in future. WRT the FFD, he agrees with you. --Elvey(tc) 11:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Homosexualities..." book

Hi, I hope you'll have no problem with my inclusion of GSS material on the "Obsolescence" subsection, since it is directly relevant to the findings discussed. 2804:7F7:D180:395E:0:0:0:1 (talk) 07:42, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but unless the source specifically mentions the book by Bell and Weinberg, I do not consider the addition relevant. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 08:02, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the Original Research guideline, I'm not sure my edits fit the description. Are you OK with asking more people for their input?2804:7F7:D180:395E:0:0:0:1 (talk) 08:08, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's clearly original research to take a source that does not mention a particular book and try to use it to argue against that book or show that it's authors findings are outdated. Please don't do that kind of thing. I don't see any need to ask other editors for their views; you of course are free to ask anyone you like.

See my discussion on Talk:Conversion therapy.

I'm not going to edit war again (I follow the three-revert rule) but I'd appreciate it if you'd quit censoring perfectly reliable scholarship just because you don't agree with it. 164.58.98.2 (talk) 22:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
