Article: Charles Peirce. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Peirce
Section: Logic as formal semiotic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Peirce#Logic_as_formal_semiotic
Edit: Revision as of 16:25, 11 June 2006 by Wylie Ali (-> Logic as formal semiotic - removing two long quotes. See talk) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charles_Peirce&diff=next&o...
Actually, the "new user" Wylie Ali deleted 4 blockquotes and all of the associated text. One of the quotes + explanatory text, added by me, was a quotation from Peirce where he defines in his own words one the absolutely essential concepts of his entire philosophy. The other 3 quotes, added by another editor, I am less certain of how important they are. But the point is that the wholesale deletion of 2/3 of a section, all of it sourced, and some of it of surpassing relevance to the whole article, with no prior discussion, just plain goes against the spirit of collaboration that is supposed to be the hallmark of WP, not to mention eroding the quality of the article as to its accurate representation of its subject.
