- 20:5020:50, 9 November 2023 diff hist +69 Alder An addition to mention the widely used name "viridis" for Green Alder, although it has apprently been superceded. This is to aid searching and understanding without upsetting the taxonomic order as set out. Some may say that viridis should be noted next to subsp. fruiticosa, but I could not have an opinion on that.

Theorists may criticise (a verb), but evidence is passive, it does not act. Evidence may be consistent or inconsistent with hypotheses or models. Tried to make the change minimal and to refer to current models to allow for future models that may better fit experimental data. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
6 June 2019
- 05:4605:46, 6 June 2019 diff hist −121 Foulden Maar Removed contentious statements of unverifiable opinion. Messel Pit is not a Maar and contains oil shale, not diatomite. Apart from also containing fossils it is not obviously similar, and there is no cited reason to think a comparison is justified. Some consider that Foulden Maar is “threatened” by mining but, whether one agrees or not, that is a statement of opinion, not fact. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Provided an example of inconsistent application of reasoning that causation follows from correlation. Note however that there is excellent evidence of gender bias acting against women. But the examples used are not reliable evidence of it, although widely cited as such. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 21:1721:17, 8 May 2018 diff hist −86 Universal Declaration of Human Rights Undid revision 832745760 by Randy Kryn (talk) I accept that one of the names was a drafter. We need a list for drafters. But a "thinker who influenced" is a thought leader, like Voltaire, Mill or Hegel, for examples. Because the UDHR is a treaty negotiated between states, the drafters typically represented state interests, not ideas or schools of thought. Tag: Undo

- 19:3019:30, 27 March 2018 diff hist −86 Universal Declaration of Human Rights "Thinkers" refers to those who created the philosophical underpinnings or most influential theories of Human Rights that led to the drafting of this declaration. Reasons and citations should be required for any inclusions. This category of "thinkers" is not yet very helpful because it is woefully incomplete. However, involved officials at the UN and national delegates to conferences (even if also academics or minor philosophers) should be in a separate category, if such a category is needed at all.
