thread_title: Editing notes

message: Added the History/Organization section and Controversy/Criticism section. I moved appropriate paragraphs into those sections. I removed references to Jack Kevorkian as he is irrelevant to Compassion & Choices. Also removed non-neutral language on Gonzales decision.Carlaaxtman (talk) 19:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sections added

message: Wow!  I just saw the page for Hemlock Society DISAPPEAR!  They refer you immediately to the Compassion and Choices page. Poof, Hemlock Society has disappeared from the pages of history!   Don't you think that we should know about the Hemlock Society, at least as a historical footnote? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffgolin (talk • contribs) 05:15, 29 November 2008
:That really is a major gap in information. I've filled it. Generally blogs are not WP:RS; the exception is when the blogger is a recognized expert in the field, and there can hardly be anyone more knowledgeable about the Hemlock Society than its founder.

replies: text: I think it is important to keep the predecessor group's name in the lede.  The organization had a long history and I believe it is an important point which is helpful to readers, especially those who may only know of the former group.  Mamalujo (talk) 23:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Anytime you want to make a redirect, it's the twelfth button from the left above your edit window, labelled "#R" -- but we don't want to do that, because Hemlock Society already has its own page (unless you wish to propose a merge of the two). The lead typically offers a precis of what's developed at length in the body of the article. For example, Planned Parenthood mentions Margaret Sanger in the lead, even though she hasn't been around for quite a long time, and even though lots of people in that organization would like to put a lot of distance between her and the present day organization.

replies: text: Thanks, David. Greatly appreciate your assist on the redirect edit button. One of these days I'll have the ropes down on this thing. Heh.  Agreed on the reasonings for leaving Hemlock in the lede. With the explanations provided that makes a lot of sense. Appreciate you and Mamalujo taking the time to go over it.

thread_title: Hemlock Society

message: Reductio ad Hitlerum = fail (Euthanasia was originally practiced by the Nazis...).  I'm no supporter of euthanasia, but that sentence has absolutely nothing to do with the organization this page is about or any relevant current debate.  Deleting.  EDIT: Someone beat me to it.--Thud495 (talk) 19:10, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sentence removed

message: Refers readers to this talk page, and warns editors not to delete the tag until the dispute has been resolved. However, the editor posting the tag did not open any discussion. If there is no substance to the tag, I think it should in fact be removed. DavidOaks (talk) 02:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
