There seems to be debate here about what terms are correct and the applicability of them. My concern is that with all this discussion there are no cited sources. Technically an editor could fly through these articles and delete the content. Please see the above regarding the verifiability of facts on wikipedia. Alan.ca 18:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


Robert Walpole can't have said much interesting about American colonial policy in 1688; he was only twelve! What year was this?


[edit] Merge Salutory Neglect into Salutary Neglect

Salutary Neglect is a specific term that retrospectively came to be applied to the American policy. That is worthy of a separate article. If a general Benign Neglect article wants wo wikilink to this one as a specific example, it can go right ahead. If any more references are needed beside the Burke speech itself, there are hundreds of American history books to choose from.Hughespj 13:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

There is currently an article at the mis-spelled Salutory Neglect that should be merged into this article, whether or not a merger with Benign Negelct goes ahead. Since I know nothing about the topic I hope someone else will pick this up. Pontificake 08:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do NOT Merge

I have to agree with the guy two below me. It doesn't seem logical to merge them.

-Disagree, don't merge.

Yeah, don't merge

[edit] merge salutary neglect and benign neglect

Under benign neglect, salutary neglect is given as a synonym. The benign neglect page talks about a different example of the same thing. The articles should definitely be merged.

- Agreed, go for it!


[edit] DONT merge salutary neglect and benign neglect

but salutary neglect is distinctly refered to today in textbooks as the British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws meant to keep the American colonies subservient to Great Britain. It is not the same as benign neglect because it is more specific...

- So I DISAGREE, DO NOT Merge the two topics

[edit] Merge

Merge this with Salutary Neglect, as they are the same thing.

[edit] delete salutory neglect

Whenever you click on the link for salutory neglect, it takes you to salutary neglect. Therefore they are the same article, and since the official spelling is salutary neglect, salutory neglect should be deleted. agreed
