[edit] Question about a Contributor (Again)

Hi again. If you recall, I was involved in a dispute with merceris over the Whole language page. I am writing again for a couple of reasons. First, I have been reviewing Wikipedia policy regarding atrribution and neutral point of view and find it more aligned with my view than with yours in terms of (a) the removal of information that is "sourced" if the source is not reliable or uncontroversial if not reliable and (b) the exclusion of information that is the contributor's conjecture (i.e., it is original research) or a significantly minority viewpoint that the contributor wishes to propel. I made my editing decisions in keeping with those parameters. I'd like you to take a look at the criticism section of the Developmentally Appropriate Practice page, which was created by merceris. I know very little about this, but it seems very clear to me that this information is merceris's political perspective and is intended to promote that. I am inclined to remove that section entirely because it is polemical and cites no sources, but I would rather just hear your perspective on this example. I'm going to leave the Developmentally Appropriate Practice page as is. Thank you for continuing the conversation. Best, Kearnsdm 04:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I see what you are saying about merceris's contribution to Developmentally Appropriate Practice. I will approach merceris and ask for sources to be included, and for some adjusting of language. Regards SilkTork 07:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
