Talk:Reflections on the Guillotine

I've added section headings, internal links and a source to help Wikify the page.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'unbalanced'. The article is about the views of Albert Camus which obviously are unbalanced but everything I have written is based on his essay and is not my opinion. The only part which can be considered my opinion is that his views on the death penalty are similar to that of De Sade (see internal link). If you still think something I wrote is unbalanced then let me know and I'll see if I can sort it out.

 * Certainly, when giving the views of someone else, the requirement for balance is alleviated, but there should at least be a nod to the *presence* of dissenting viewpoints. If the essay has not generated enough criticism for a section devoted to dissenting views, then at least a "see also" or some such can direct the reader to alternate viewpoints.  I never asserted that any of it was your opinion, so that's moot. Deranged bulbasaur 14:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks bulbasaur! I wasn't sure what you meant by 'unbalanced' at first. I've left the main article as it is; in the interest of keeping it about the subject. I've added a few internal and external links though that make a start on representing alternative views.Shane.Bell 21:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Question?
How is it that Camus (b.11/1913) speaks of his father's reaction to an execution, when according to the Wikipedia bio, his father died at the Battle of the Marne in 1914? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.22.193 (talk) 21:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
