==Better name for "Outside context problem"==
[[User:MyRedDice]] deleted the "Outside context problem" column with the comment ''rm OCP - Iain Banks is not a scientist - out of place here''.

(contracted; show full)

:''progress'' and ''regression'' are problematic here - very POV dependent. I would vote for elimination and combination into a more neutral '''Major Events'''. As an example, I've moved religion and majic to ''regression''. Does that bother anyone? ;)<br>-[[User:Vsmith|Vsmith]] 0

:No problem here, when your action is viewed as a step to greater understanding, per the [[scientific method]]. The labels are like + and - charges for electricity. Is it POV to favor electrons?  When we fail to distinguish basics, we fail to [[progress]] to  [[electronics]]. Its like personal hygiene, like separating closets from garbage bins. [[User:Ancheta Wis|Ancheta Wis]] 12:58, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC) -- upon review, I see that I need to add more explanation here:  your action actually reinforces the statement of the [[:Category:The Enlightenment]] movement to lessen the effect of [[kinship group]]s on [[governance]]. That is a good thing. It was the philosophical basis of the [[Bill of Rights]] First Amendment, which historically was the ideological basis for the [[British colonization of the Americas]]. Again, no problem here. Obviously, if you reversed your action, which you are free to do, I might have other comments.
:Thanks. Different reaction than I expected, gives me a different way of viewing it. Is religion now in the ''garbage bin'' - hmm... Anyway I have no plan to revert (although I'm tempted, just to see your ''other comments''). If the ''progress - regress'' dichotomy remains, I would be inclined to include religion in both. -[[User:Vsmith|Vsmith]] 21:40, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)⏎
:Does anyone have any problem with my including the emergence of the [[human condition]] as an event? Some other items, such as the emergence of [[maternal love]], [[compassion]] and the differentiation between [[vice]] and [[virtue]]? I truly believe these facets are part of [[civilization]] [[User:Ancheta Wis|Ancheta Wis]] 18:11, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
