Talk:Permutation (policy debate)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article needs some serious clarification Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 18:09, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Right now this reads like a lectrure or article on debating the perm. It makes normative claims about what debaters should do instead of positive claims about debate. It should get cleaned up to fit with in Wikipedia's quality standards

[edit] Jargon?

I was looking at this article and made some fixes with grammatical confusion (possessive versus plural) and fixed some normative statements. When thinking about style, I was wondering if using shortcuts ie: "neg", "aff", "disad", etc. was appropriate, or if it would be considered "unencyclopedic". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluecarrot16 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Remove "Negative perms"?

It only serves to obfuscate the issue of counterplan competitiveness. Performance perms are just a counterplan that claims to solve the aff's performance, not a perm. I've done policy debate for several years at both the high school and college level, and have never seen a neg perm T. Even if it were common, it should be in a separate article from counterplan perms. Yostarica (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
