Talk:Bruce Nissen

24.15.60.74 edits

It's terrific that you helped clarify a lot of this article. However, you shouldn't remove Wikipedia links when doing so. Like the link to Johnson & Wales University. Rearranging is fine, but you should watch so you don't remove links by accident. Also, removing whole paragraphs is probably inappropriate, unless there's a good reason (which should be listed here, on the talk page). For example, the paragraph on Nissen's early research was included because that's what he did (look at the list of published works). If you feel this is mis-characterized, edit the paragraph and say why here on the Talk page. The paragraph you substituted was not an edit, but rather an addition (or so it seems).

Finally, I would advise against removing categories. Nissen is indeed a historian who focuses on the labor movement and on the history of the United States. He is also a historian from the United States. Removing categories could be considered vandalism. If there are good reasons for changing a category (for example, clarifying a category by changing "Historians" to "American Historians"), they should be listed on the Talk page here so everyone can hash out the best categories. If a category is blatantly wrong (e.g., "Women Historians" when the individual is clearly male), it could be removed. But again, the reason should be listed here.

The edits and changes were, otherwise, very helpful. Thanks! Contribute some more! - Tim1965 03:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I find it obscene that Tim1965 is trying to keep this page a advertisement for the professor rather than a wikipedia page censoring edits with citations while including no quotes and no sources for his own strongly biased editorial. Tim1965 talk page describes himself as a gay union member and appears to want to keep the page one advertising his bias for the radical labor movement rather than an objective wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.2.40.17 (talk) 02:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

• Nonsense. Your edit asserted that Nisson provided no facts for his claim. That is not in the article. Hence, that claim constituted original research in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines. Additionally, since your claim also criticized Nissen as well, it constituted a violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view guidelines. Nissen's work can be criticized on many grounds, but you have to cite your evidence. You had none to cite. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
