Robert Skildelsky

User:Conservative]: You used a source on these major Portal pages: Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, John Maynard Keynes and Evolution (The costly return of geopolitics, Jun 27, 2023). His latest, Lord Robert Skidelsky: Pax-Americana is Over, seems to directly contradict your Essay: The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future, who declares it has ended. To avoid the confusion you have created on the part of our readers between your ideas and Skildelsky, why don't you properly qualify the source by creating the Robert Skildelsky article?

Alfred Russel Wallace - Co-discoverer of natural selection

Hello, I cannot edit this page, but is there a way to add "Alfred Russel Wallace who was the co-discoverer of natural selection, eventually came to see that nature exhibited design and purpose with evolution." citation: Alfred Russel Wallace. 1911. "The World of Life: A Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose" It summarizes his view of natural history, evolution, natural selection, and their intersection with design. His work shows that nature and design are not mutually exclusive.

I removed the protection from the page. Conservative (talk) 10:00, August 25, 2025 (EDT)

-I have been bold and removed the Student Panel Decision. Now, before everybody is rushing to the Rollback and Ban buttons, allow me to explain why the text was utterly outdated and pretty much useless:
-*"the article will remain protected indefinitely" - Yes, just like tons and tons of other articles. Big whoop. (This is a problem by itself, but one I won't tackle right here, right now.)
+==[[Robert Skildelsky]]==
-*"to protect it from inevitable vandalism" - .................right.

-*"We have decided that the article will not be changed in any major way." - Aaaaand this is the main reason why I removed the decision:
-**The Panel made the decision in April 2007. Right now, the earliest revision of the Evolution article is dated February 9, 2011. Without knowing what the April 2007 version looked like, what counts as a major change?
+== Alfred Russel Wallace - Co-discoverer of natural selection ==
-**Between the first and last visible revisions alone, the article gained ~10k - not a major change? To put the number into perspective, [[Date of the Exodus]] is smaller than the amount this article has grown.
-**Those who have been around since back then know exactly that the article ''has'' changed in major ways since then.

-*"Those who wish to assist in improving this article should submit proposed changes to the panel for review." - Too many issues to list here. I honestly don't think this applies (or ''should'' apply) anymore.
