== Help with the ] ]'s BIO ==
Hello Snowded I was wondering if you would like to help with the ] article. Since you have at least an interest in metaphysical libertarianism. Also most of the arguments showing that science can not be used to dispense with ], ], free will are in ]'s very famous book ] and also Robert Kane's book <i>The Significance of Free Will</i> and almost anything by ]. As such Prigogine caused a lot of controversy with his theory of ] as if anything, it shows that if there is indeterminism, stochastics (i.e. Freedom of will) any form of determinism can not be used to refute it as there is no way to scientifically prove determinism. LoveMonkey 14:58, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

:::Just a side note. It is no "illusion" that people operate by faith. It is a matter of science. In this I mean that human beings operate from the perspective of incomplete information (]). I would like to create an article on that subject and the work that Robert Kane has done on that. LoveMonkey 15:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
:::I'll try and get time to have a look at it over the weekend - have been travelling and managing Brews is exhausting. I like the idea of that article and there is other material that could be used ----] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 19:25, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

== Labour Party page ==

Hi

I was reading your page about the Labour Party and in particular the section about Northern Ireland.

Can I suggest two changes.

1. The article suggests the party changed membership rules after a review. It's only if you read the citation that you get the context of the review.
I believe that if you include some of the citation detail, it provides a fuller explanation to the reader.
The change only happened after the threat of legal action, backed by the GMB Union and the expectation the party would lose any case.

2. Recent comments by Labour leaders imply whole hearted support for the Union, but as you point out they have an affiliation with the SDLP, a Nationist party.
This is in marked contrast to their views on the SNP. I appreciate this might be considered more of an opinion.

Thanks Paul <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 07:49, 2 May 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

That way you can avoid any conversation at all. I don't think this is how to handle such matters. Your response to this protest is to claim misbavior on my part and threaten ANI. You will not even deign to formulate your own sourced opinion, preferring simply to revert all proposals with unsupported claims of synthesis.
