Greetings! If you are new to editing Wikipedia, this is a "talk" page where editors who work together on pages hash out exact wording, check each others reference, and work together to grow and develop a page. It can be most gratifying to work on a self-selecting editorial team. You can add this page to your "watchlist" so as to keep up on the discussion, and remember to sign your posts using the four tildas or the 10th button from the left just above this box.--I'm Nonpartisan (talk) 02:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the opportunity to contribute. I hope the re-edits I've made have addressed some of the level-headed concerns you outline below.--Edugamer (talk) 15:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dietary tenants?
"The La Leche League has been criticized for letting political-correctness undermine the scientific basis for their breastfeeding advice. In particular, their dietary tenants may undermine some of the benefits of breastfeeding"
To start off our discussion, what dietary tenants? It's not enough to just reference an article without adding some specifics. That is, the reader should not have to go to the reference site to figure out what dietary tenants are being refered to.
So, what dietary tenants? LLL gives very little advice on what to eat or not eat while breastfeeding, leaving that choice to the mother. Or is the reference to dietary tenants for the baby? A "tenant" is a legal term, there are no foods outlawed by LLL. Also, LLL is not a "they", but an organization and so always an "it."--I'm Nonpartisan (talk) 02:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Very good points. I've made the minor grammatical errors and changed the language to "advice" which is certainly more appropriate. --Edugamer (talk) 15:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, if you knew anything about LLL you would know that Leaders don't give "advice", but instead they offer information and support. I don't think your edit holds water and is still an advertisement for your own services, but I'm calling in a third party for a unbiased opinion.--I'm Nonpartisan (talk) 21:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
