Removal of content without consensus

@Magnovvig: why did you remove the edit by David Eppstein without trying to consult with them? The content of their edit was perfectly alright, given that the subject has published in these fields. I understand you feel that the subject is somehow the founder of Applied Philosophy but you haven't produced any reliabel sources. Until the time that you provide these sources, I will restore the content of David's edits. Sorry, but there is nothing extraordinary about listing fields of specialisations from a college website.

@Modussiccandi: I'm sorry. I erred. ... Perhaps you mistake my rhetorical flourishes. Magnovvig (talk) 16:37, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The material I removed was polemic, WP:SOAPBOX, badly sourced, and far too long to be in proper balance with the rest of the article. The low quality of that content is a significant contributing factor to why the article was taken to AfD. I replaced it by a much shorter version with better sources (two major newspapers with varying biases) that more clearly explains the context. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:10, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan Peterson

The article says "politically conservative academic Jordan Peterson", which is false. Jordan Peterson is a classical liberal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.86.157.163 (talk) 22:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From our article: 'The New York Times described Peterson as "conservative-leaning",[7] while The Washington Post described him as an "aspiring conservative thought leader". Yoram Hazony wrote in The Wall Street Journal that "[t]he startling success of his elevated arguments for the importance of order has made him the most significant conservative thinker to appear in the English-speaking world in a generation."' —David Eppstein (talk) 22:47, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
