Activism for Internet privacy moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Activism for Internet privacy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks! I will observe these standards and resubmit when I can meet them! I appreciate your help! Lcdrovers (talk) 03:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slide rule

Hi,

You removed a passage about Werner von Braun, with this comment:

"section about wernher von braun is linked with an inline reference that clearly does not provide a source for the content and the bit about von braun being responsible for the apollo missions is unfortunately also nazi propaganda. caution should be used if deciding to revert this change".

[Edit] It crosses my mind that your "nazi propaganda" remark is not because the passage promoted nazism, but because it discussed a man famous for his achievements, who happened to be a nazi. If that was part of your motivation for deleting, it makes no sense; taken to its conclusion, we wouldn't be able to discuss any notable people who were nazis, making it hard to make sense of things like WWII. [/Edit]

The article on Werner von Braun is clear that he was director of the Marshall Space Flight Center, and Chief Architect of the Saturn V. Is that also Nazi propaganda? And is that intimidating warning really necessary? Why should caution be used?

I'm not proposing to revert your change; I'm not sure that von Braun's preference in slide rules is particularly pertinent to the "Modern form" section in the Slide rule article, so I haven't bothered to check the reference. But your edit comment alarmed me. I don't think there was anything particularly objectionable about the stuff you deleted.

@MrDemeanour i think you're probably right. i was afraid to check your response until now. i really appreciate your careful effort to parse my edit comment, because i agree it was extremely unnecessarily intimidating and unprofessional especially on a subject i emphatically know nothing about (slide rules and their history). i think the correct thing for me to have done here would simply have been to leave a citation needed marker. i felt very strongly at the time that it was important to remove this precise information, because i was under the impression it was actively incorrect for some reason (and i really wanted to "protect" wikipedia from perceived misinfo). that emotional response clouded my judgement at the time.

i completely agree that my edit comment here was misinformed and extremely non-constructive. in the future if i have this kind of concern (especially on a subject i absolutely don't know!), i'll make a talk page section. i know wikipedia has structures for ensuring NPOV (really my only concern with my very aggressive comment was just about wanting to ensure NPOV and not having the vocab to explain it) and i'll make use of them next time.

thanks a lot for taking the time to help me understand this. i'll see what the article looks like now after so many months, but if it's not been added back since then, i'm going to revert my change and add a citation request (or fill out the citation myself if i have the time). i know everyone here wants to build this beautiful encyclopedia together and i will work harder to communicate better.
