User talk:Rudiverspoor

Hi Rudiverspoor. Would you mind looking at the Talk:Homeopathy page and joining in the discussion there? A number of people have put some work into this page, so it would be helpful if we could discuss your changes. This is normally what happens in WP when someone wants to make major changes to an established article. Regards --Lee Hunter 11:40, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear that you have not made your way over to Talk:Homeopathy. would you please do so?Geni 13:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you found your way to Talk:Homeopathy. I left town for a few days just when the shit hit the fan, so I'm still trying to catch up, but my general impression is that your edits on the whole have more POV problems than the earlier version. On the other hand, you obviously have different experience and a different perspective than the others working on the article, and I see that as a resource. It is beyond question that you can help improve the article. (Just don't try to do it single-handedly.) To work toward a better article while minimizing friction, I would ask you to generally go slower. If you make fewer edits at one time, then we can discuss those and come to a consensus. If you rewrite the whole article at once, you are inviting reversions. Also, where you can reasonably expect resistance, go to the Talk page first, or at the very least simultaneously. So, now, let's get down to work! Art Carlson 15:36, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thomas Reid, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hume (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

May 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Romanticism and epistemology may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 13:07, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Romanticism and epistemology

It's a nice essay, but it is not a WP article. I really do not see how it fits in here, where we write about things based only on sources, not our own reflections and judgment. As reviewing administrator, I'm going to have to list it for deletion, but I urge you to continue contributing to elated articles. DGG ( talk ) 03:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. Regarding the proposal for deletion, I am a bit perplexed. The topic is an important one regarding an important aspect of Romanticism, and in particular the role of the main English thinker/philosopher behind the Romantic movement. There are various citations from third sources, as well as from Coleridge himself and his works, the focus of the topic, but an article of this nature also is complex and cannot be easily packaged. All topics involving certain ideas require a different approach from issues that are more straight forward. There are many other lengthy articles on Wikipedia involving ideas and concepts. Could you provide some guidance as to what the difference is between an 'article' and an 'essay"?Rudi (talk) 11:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC)rudi[reply]

Proposed deletion of Romanticism and epistemology

The article Romanticism and epistemology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is an essay, not an encyclopedia article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thank you for this notification, though I am unsure as to what was deleted and why it was presumed to be a copyright violation. My understanding is that one can use short quotes from various works for illustration purposes, as in reviews, so long as the source is cited. Is this not correct? I appreciate any clarification.
