[edit]

A lot of work on social three folding has been done in the Netherlands, namely by Bernard Lievegoed and also Drs A.H. Bos, Dr D. Brull and Mr. A. C. Henny. They even went to set up the Triodos Bank. I've been reading their books, which are only available in Dutch, can I use these as references in the English Wikipedia? In particular I used their books to describe the 3 types of money on this article in May 2008. Cheers 19:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

There is an arbitration guideline that includes this article: sources from anthroposophical publishers can be used for factual, non-controversial aspects of the article (e.g. Triodos Bank was founded by ... in the year ... for the purpose of .... They should not be used to support controversial or promotional statements (e.g. Triodos Bank is superior to every other bank in the world). The usage to describe the three types of money in the theory appears perfectly appropriate. hgilbert (talk) 11:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing neutrality problems

[edit]

Why is it so important to keep mentioning things which aren't actually about social threefolding?

  • This is just promotional fluff; using the article to spread the Right Livelihood Award's slogan that it's an "alternative nobel". It's not; the proper name is the Right Livelihood Award. We have an article right there.
  • This is not social threefolding, but somebody reckons that if you squint hard enough it's "social enterprise", and we say that social threefolding involves social enterprise, right?

There are other problems in the article. The spam and the peacock wording should be removed. bobrayner (talk) 22:13, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hammering the revert button doesn't make it right. bobrayner (talk) 18:32, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

[edit]

Organisations like this should not be adding promotional content to an article on social threefolding. To the editor using 96.57.172.218 / 67.85.212.0 / 72.80.72.48, I would encourage you to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. bobrayner (talk) 23:44, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The two organizations (Threefold and RSF) are independent. I don't believe there's a policy that people who work at automobile factories shouldn't edit articles on automobile engineering--the editor just has to keep to NPOV, or be helped to do so, as s/he appears to be new to WP. Much of the added material looks fine, especially that relating to B-corporations. Why not keep this? HGilbert (talk) 01:52, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It not sociology

[edit]

Steiner is not a sociologist, this is not a sociological work. --Idéalités (talk) 17:06, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. I think that "sociological" is correct here as it describes the area Steiner was addressing. See wiktionary:en:sociology. Sociology was an emerging field during this time, so any "sociologists" were essentially self-bootstrapped. I do think "theory" is incorrect & I changed it to "construct". Peaceray (talk) 01:47, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Im a sociologist, sorry if I know that Steiner was not, and I read a lot of academics studies about it too, it's an ideology : "A system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy." =>.from an occultist. ecofascisme. --Idéalités (talk) 11:13, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
