[edit] Attention

This article is in dire need of some edits. There is no core-periphery "theory," rather there are some methodological ideas about core / periphery structures from Social Network Analysis, and there is world-systems theory. World-systems theory uses the language of core-periphery, but it is not represented in this article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.195.83.93 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Ultra-periphery

Mrateb added essay regarding the Canary Islands as an example of the ultra-periphery. Rhaworth undid revisions with no commentary. The talk page (except for unsigned comment, above) was virtually nonexistent. I decided against undoing RHaworth's undo because the essay needs revisions, but a shorter version should be included. Please discuss before undoing work that is not obvious vandalism.

The question is where is the most appropriate place for Mrateb's contribution. The original core-periphery article is rather short, so the contribution has the effect of drowning out the main topic with a narrow subtopic. I would try to edit down what you wrote to 100-200 words that focuses on defining "ultra-periphery". Then, mention the Canary Islands as an example. Most of the bulk of the contribution is specific to the Canary Islands, so it would be more appropriate to include in the article on the Canary Islands rather than in the core-periphery article. An appropriate place would the section on the economy of the Canary Islands, and again, the contribution should be shortened so that it doesn't dominate the existing article.

Can you please clarify? Wikipedia:Talk_Page says that standard talk pages are for discussing an article and user talk pages are for notes and comments to users. Why did you choose not to include your comments on the edits on the article's talk page? --Leehach (talk) 04:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I have what I call a "shoot first ask questions later" policy. Ie. I do edits and only discuss them if someone asks. Since you have asked, some comment is now appropriate here: in my view, the closure reason in this AfD discussion shows (after the event), complete justification for my deleting Mrateb's stuff from this article. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
