Talk:A Critique of Pure Tolerance

Removal of content
218.255.112.189, I removed some content from the article here. You restored it here. Let me explain more clearly why I removed that content. I removed it for copyright reasons, and because I want to be sure that this article doesn't end up in the same unfortunate mess that the article on Violence and the Sacred is currently in. The content you restored is cited to secondary sources discussing the book, rather than the book itself; it is exceptionally easy to violate copyright that way.

Could someone please be more specific about what part(s) of the deleted article violated copyright and how? All I see there are fair-use quotes that don't seem to violate our guideline on non-free text. Peter Jedicke (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


 * The revision history, how this article was created, and reading it makes it pretty obvious that this is a normal Wikipedia article.  This appears to be a few freedom-of-idea-hating wikipedia editors intentionally mis-tagging articles in ways that will make keeping such ideas even in say an archive site like deletionpedia alive onerous. It really is Wikipedia cutting off its nose to spite its face. For example, listening to this interview with an academic ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGiRGPq6Axo&t=1362s ) would make one look up this article and such freedom-of-idea-hating wikipedia editors don't want people to be able to do that.
