Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Antinatalism, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 07:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The statements addressed and edited about AN are to correct presumptuous, incorrect, or confusing text. A clear understanding of the non-coercive nature of AN prohibits forcing anyone or thing to be sterilized, killed, or otherwise have their procreative decisions interfered with. The confusing and limiting terms "animals" and "humans" in referencing a universal principle of voluntary non-procreation need to be changed as indicated, and also serve to address the difference between bred and wild animals on this planet. The current "conclusions" in the article are either non-sourced opinions of those attempting to conflate AN with other idealogies, such as efilism, eugenics, involuntary sterilization, etc. or erroneous interpretations of cited references.  Allowing the text to stand does a disservice to the proper understanding of a very ancient and simple philosophy very relevant today, and I see the result in those seeking to understand these principles on a daily basis.  I have been an AN for almost 60 years, pre-dating all of the current popular literature, and admin a private FB group of 15K as well as being the subject of several interviews by various entities involved in the AN movement as well as organizations such as the BBC.  A clear understanding of the love and logic present sans indoctrination in AN is the best citation possible, but if there is some source that mirrors as much as quotes from fellow AN friends such as Irina Uriupina or Les Knight, please let me know.  AN is rapidly growing, and the term and its meaning need careful attention to ensure proper understanding. 76.185.226.6 (talk) 07:34, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
