  Hello, I'm Hulmem. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Normative, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please see WP:SOURCE, WP:CITE, and WP:NOR before continuing to edit Wikipedia. hulmem (talk) 18:31, 12 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I'mnot sure if this is how I respond, or what talk pages are etc. I will source my content. I am a professional philosopher rewriting a number of wikipedia pages on concepts from contemporary anglophone philosophy. These articles are for the most part inaccurate or suboptimal in some other way. I agree that my introduction to normativity was unsourced, but I do not agree that it was off-topic. The exposition of normativity currently on the page is accurate neither to today's use of the word in academia nor to its historical use, while my exposition: (i) provided a description of how to read the word in a variety of contexts, (ii) explained the significance the word has in its field of origin, and (iii) provided an exposition of a common theory of the word that elegantly makes sense of the word's meaning. To confirm, are those appropriate for an introduction? I would think so but wondering. Also is this how I respond? Quantuminformation (talk)Zane
