Class
Thumbs up, the lede is starting to be banged into shape. I'd prefer the first or second sentence convey something of the vastness of classes and their totalising nature in class society. That's a thought, a second sentence for just that. Fifelfoo (talk) 16:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Fair. I understand (and believe) class is systemic; that ideology is on all levels often "unconscious" and unchosen in a Gramscian sense. But it's also important an article is really easy for a layman to understand, and important this article in particular has a holistic definition of class, not one purely related to Marxism. Weberian, feminist, postcolonial and global concepts, etc etc. --Tomsega (talk) 16:20, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Labelling
Hi Thom,
I noticed that you recently added the sociology template to the article on labelling. I think it would be more appropriate on labeling theory. If you look at the two articles you will see the difference.
Something slightly annoying is that the labeling theory article has the American spelling, whereas the labelling article has the British spelling. This may have led to your misunderstanding.
Also, I notice that you classed the article as a start class on the talk page. This is probably true so I will remove the tag at the bottom of the article describing it as a stub.

Improving sociology idea
Inspired by this comment: if we can get a grad class to improve sociology for GA/FA, it should generate a flurry of activity :) GA reviews have big backlogs, educational project ones are rare and need to be expedited, but most others can wait for a few weeks (or months) - not that I think it is a good situation, but backlogs are backlogs... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 01:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Sociological positivism
I am not sure if I agree with the merger. There is enough content - and notability - to split it back, I think. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- The thing is, when 'positivism' alone is cited, one should mean the positivism starting with Comte and carrying on as a tradition through social science. 'Logical positivism' is what one would always say with respect to the analytical philosophical tradition. The old 'sociological positivism' page diluted all efforts and was pretty useless. I think it's appropriate to have one page for positivism, one page for logical positivism. I really think it's fine as it is! ;) --Tomsega (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

request for some help
Do you know much about Rousseau AND Durkheim? Slrubenstein | Talk 11:46, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm.. depends on the question! They were in my opinion the premier French thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries respectively so the relationship must be fairly strong.. --Tomsega (talk) 12:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I would think so too. The question is, do you know enough of their work, or the history of French social thought during this time period, to be able to explain how certain concepts of and questions about society developed in French socialthought from one to the other? I know enough to kind of fudge something, which is not good enough for Wikipedia, which is why I am looking for someone who knows their work and how they are used or have been discussed either by intellectual historians or historians of sociology...

social theory question
Tom, do you know the work of Rousseau and Durkheim well enough to address the tradition that links them, or the ways they together mark important positions in French social theory? (apologies if i have asked you this already) Slrubenstein | Talk 16:12, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well, his philosophy (like most classical political philosophy) emphasised strongly the idea of a social body or organism, and he described solitude as 'unnatural' and association as being beneficial. Alluding to the ideas of organic solidarity and anomie in Durkheim. Rouseau emphasised the idea of a general 'will' for men to do good, yet thought our social institutions often ruin us. I haven't really read Rousseau in enough depth but he was very much a humanist in the sense of believing humans to be natural good... I disagree. He made it apparent he thought that, if the majority of people believe something, then it must be right. Clearly writing before totalitarianism as it arrived in modernity! Specific to Durkheim.. can't really think of much else right now, sorry! --Tomsega (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I am not sure I agree with Rousseau either .. but I am trying to work out a (small) way to improve the culture article and I wish I knew someone who really felt comfortabl with French social theory, spanning from Rousseau and Compte to Durkheim and Mauss.

Hey Tomsega, It's been great editing the Sociology page with you. I want to ask you for a favor though: could you please put more info in your edit summaries?

Sociology: Positivism section
The Anti-Positivism section has two very long quotes and I thought that for balance the Positivism section needed a long quote. The quote by Ward adds interesting and important information not available elsewhere in the article, namely that Sociology is the least positivist of all the sciences and that it is also the most complex of the sciences. This information is important to a young student exploring Sociology for the first time. Longsun (talk) 12:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings and structures in London
I disagree with the inclusion of the Shard in the main list whilst it's still far from complete, it introduces obvious inconsistencies and to my perception it is out of place. Do you have any argument to offer in support of keeping it? The UK list has so far resisted including the Shard in the main section, which is entitled 'Tallest completed buildings'. Do you see any reason why the London list should take a different approach? Paravane (talk) 20:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
- I share the view that planned and unfinished buildings should not be included on the list, for obvious reasons... with the exception of buildings which have already surpassed the height of the current tallest building, and even then they should only be included as "-" rather than "1st" on the list - this style has been followed by the List of tallest structures in Tokyo page and I think it's quite effective. --Tomsega (talk) 07:25, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. I note that your edits of the List of tallest buildings and structures in London have so far been almost exclusively devoted to amending details of the Shard. I have removed the Shard once again from the main list, pending further discussion, and given some reasons on the article's talk page.Paravane (talk) 23:40, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

We're in a bit of a pickle in the Wagner discussion page. The issues concerns Social class (sociology) and the phrase supposedly common Germanic past and has now been dismissed by some editors as inconsequential.
At the end of the Wagner discussion page (under Edit War solution topic) there issome suggested courses of action that I was requested to list, from my point of view. Please help. Just take fast look. Thank you
In the introduction, removed as non consequential
- In his own era he furthermore provided the newly emerged middle class with a medium to transfer its familial and political conflicts into a myth of supposedly common Germanic past.
In the Biography chapter removed as non consequential

Positivism
Hi Tomsega - in Seoul, ...interested in sociology, and a number of other things, seems you could find this interesting. I wonder whether you'd be tempted to offer an occasional posting (like once a month, relaxed, no pressure) at http://positivists.org/blog/ The could be a look at your present environment, reflections of reality as it is perceived around you (I remember some things that startled me about Seoul. The blog is new, and I am presently trying to gather about 30 people from all cultures who - most of them - are presently living elsewhere and would have similar profiles.)

I am a journalist working on a nonfiction book and I'll be discussing Georg Simmel's work. It looks like you created the page for The Metropolis and Mental Life and added much of the information I'm interested in. I'm hoping to track down a source.
The information I'm interested in is: “Simmel was originally asked to lecture on the role of intellectual (or scholarly) life in the big city, but he reversed the topic in order to analyze the effects of the big city on the mind of the individual. As a result, when the lectures were published as essays in a book, to fill the gap, the series editor had to supply an essay on the original topic himself.”

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the
