Talk:Jeremy Waldron

message: Removed the entire paragraph beginning: "However, despite his claiming to be a liberal, Waldron is anti-free speech." It's clearly not appropriate in tone or content for Wikipedia.
Furthermore, the remaining content of the Ideas section of the article needs, at the least, citations for its characterization of the subject's views and writings.  It also has the feel of a non-NPOV categorization.

replies: text: However, shouldn't the tone be rewritten, but the idea kept? If you read the article cited, Waldron clearly has problems with "free speech" as most people, and the US Supreme Court, define it. He clearly seeks restrictions on it in a British -style system, which American scholars have largely criticized. 208.27.111.123 (talk)21:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Waldron is not against free speech. He is against rights-based judicial review. I'm sure he is not in favour of a British system which has extensive judicial oversight of free speech issues.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.25.25 (talk) 14:10, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I take it that "most people" in the above comment really means "most Americans". It may surprise the commenter to learn that, no matter what American scholars may say, the advocates of the "British-style system" (i.e. most British people) consider themselves supporters of free speech. I take it that Waldron does too. The definition of "free speech" is a matter of contention, and it's not appropriate for an encyclopaedia to assume, uncritically, one definition rather than another. 129.67.85.178 (talk) 11:30, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Before adding a category, it must be supported by cited text within the article. If the article does not even include the word "Christian", then the category may not be added to the article. We have additional restrictions for living people. There must be a citation to the subject self-identifying with the religion, and their religion must be relevant to their notability. See WP:BLPCAT for details. Unless all our requirements are satisfied, religious categories may not be added to the article, and will be removed if they are added without the necessary support in the article text itself.  The fact that the subject wrote a paper entitled "A Religious View of the Foundations of International Law" does not in any way reveal anything at all about his personal beliefs or religious identification - that's an inference on your part. Citation of a statement of belief made by the subject himself, something on the order of the subject stating "I am a Christian" is what is required. Thank you.
