If this is tagged, all four should be tagged in the talk page. This skews thinking in a way that distorts transactionali).

Re: Reverting Good Faith edit

Reply to:FreeKnowledgeCreator: I just skimmed your user page. WOW! I was quite impressed with the array of articles about books you've contributed to on WP. I hope we can come to a consensus quickly about this edit. I started this article, in good faith. It's my first. I am preparing to teach Wikipedia again in a course and am currently taking the training module Wikimedia offers for students. I realized that much of what I wrote initially is a close paraphrase and required editing. You are right about the first sentence. Needs a bit of editing for better clarity. But the remainder is a good faith edit of paraphrasing that contracted a great deal of info.

I was about to undo you edit but instead let's consider this rewrite of the opening paragraph:

"Transactionalism is a philosophical method of knowing and learning the practice of social exchange required to thrive in modern times. The philosophy incorporates a cyclical approach to any social exchange or human "transaction" that moves through Subjectivism, Constructivism, Objectivism, and Skepticism. It is a sophisticated, yet, pragmatic approach to modern human existence designed to correct the "fragmentation of experience." [1]" Initially framed as a pattern of inquiry by John Dewey and Arthur Bentley, the antecedents of transactionalism date back to Polybius and Galileo.

The remainder of my previous edit would be included. What do you think? --sheridanford (talk) 07:02, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no interest in edit warring over this issue. While I would encourage you to rewrite especially the first sentence of the lead (for the ordinary reader, it is not going to be at all clear what "Transactionalism is an epistemelogical framework known as a transactionalist approach or philosophy for living that exists in a similar realm of Subjectivism, Constructivism, Objectivism, and Skepticism" is supposed to mean), I would not revert back if you did revert me, as repeated reverting is discouraged and certainly not how disputes are meant to be resolved.
