This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the John A. McDougall article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Misplaced Pages's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

The following Misplaced Pages contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
I have scarcely ever seen a more nakedly biased piece of text on Misplaced Pages than the latter half of the very lede here. Kind of shocking this has been allowed to stay substantially unaltered so long. It seems one user is very passionately edit-guarding this page to one-sidedly desecrate the legacy of someone who died not even a year ago. Shameless on multiple counts.
I will certainly be diving into the research to provide a thorough, truly unbiased summation of this man's life work, at some point. These edits will be well-cited, will interpret the literature accurately, and will provide a comprehensive, concise, and totally impartial summary of McDougall's ideas and influence. That does not mean bias to the contrary; it means no bias. Do not edit war when I get around to that, thanks.
