Talk:Steven Rose

message: Retrieved from the main article
Dear Wikipedia editors, This is Steven Rose responding. I object very strongly to the suggestion in the text that I am or my view have been described as antisemitic. I strongly oppose all forms of racism including antisemitism which i have fought all my life. Furthermore even the reference cited in support of this offensive slur does not make the antisemitic claim. AntiZionist yes, antiSemitic no! I have tried on several occasions to correct this libel, and i must now urge yo to do so forthwith. You can contact me on
s.p.r.rose@open.ac.uk
I've removed the 'antisemitic' claim from the article and linked this page as a reference.  The reference Steven refers to is here: Jewish Chronicle, "Wars of the Roses", Jan 31 2003 p.35; I've removed it as the article doesn't seem to be available on the website without a user login.

replies: text: Is this a reliable reference?  If this is really from Prof. Rose, he should send an e-mail to Wikipedia and get an OTRS ticket.  Failing that, we shouldn't be citing it, per WP:BLP.--Poetlister 11:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I was asked to comment by Crusio & Tijfo098:
It needed some copyediting for clarity and conciseness, which I have begun. (I still need to do the political part) Also needs: 
#some cites, as   marked--please look for them. 
#References to all major book reviews of his books, add them as ** under the books in the bibliography. 
#list of his five or so most cited papers, from Web of Science, not Scopus, which does not reliably go back far enough. . Perhaps you could add that; if not available to you, I can do that part also. 
As some specific points
#Not in our genes is repeated described as his book, but he is one of the 3 coauthors. To what extent does it represent his distinctive personal views, rather than the general views of the group.? 
#I could not figure out how to bring in Gould--if they ever cowrote something, it would give a way. 
#Hilary Rose's relationship needs to be described once only, not 3 X. I tried to do this by moving the Family section to the top, and calling in Biography. Some basic bio needs to be added also,:, full schooling record and all degrees, Parents names )& occupationsi sf relevant ) 
#The list of his books needs publisher data added, & also available translations. 
Hope this helps.    DGG ( talk ) 23:29, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  By all means, make whatever edits you see necessary. The current version still appears better to me than simply declaring him a "left-wing Professor" and mentioning just his views on Israel . I added the stuff from the book because it's the only text from him that was easily available to me; otherwise the "ideology priority over truth" has no context.

replies: text:  I replaced the expression "Rose's book", which appeared twice, with the title of the book, even though that adds some repetition. I also moved the statement on the science-politics relation (quoted from the book) to the research section, although that seems mostly a political statement to me. YMMV.

text:  The other stuff, I can't fix myself right now, mainly due to lack of knowledge of his other work and biographical details. Maybe later. Tijfo098 (talk) 00:02, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This article says that Steven Rose is an atheist. Should it also say that when he was on the programme presented by Russell Stannard called "Science and Wonders", he said he was not a militant atheist, because he thought religion was a cry for justice in an unjust world?
