[edit] Global justice

Hi. You added quite a lot of material to the above, with the edit summary 'added info about the movement, not just the obscure philosophy'. In the first place, that you haven't heard of the philosophical debate doesn't make it obscure. In the second place, the global justice movement and the debate about global justice are different things. And in the third place, there is an article on the Global justice movement, where your material should pretty clearly go. I've reverted, and am about to add a disambiguation. In general, making large changes like this to stable, well-regarded articles without discussing on the talk page first is unwise. Yours, Sam Clark 08:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your message on my talk page (small point of wiki etiquette: it's normal to sign posts on talk pages by adding four tildes '~'). I certainly agree that the GJ movement is important, and that the GJ page should point people to the movement page (which you've greatly improved, by the way). So far, I've put a disambiguating link at the top of GJ, and think this is enough. The alternative would be: 1. move Global justice to Global justice in political philosophy; and 2. make Global justice a disambiguation page between pol.phil. and movement. But I'm simply not sure that this is necessary with only two pages to disambiguate. Incidentally, I don't think that the google test is quite as unambiguous as you suggest: the top ten results include Thomas Nagel's 'The Problem of Global Justice', and several organisations which don't seem to be linked to the GJM.
