Skinner article
Hi Edstudent, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your edits on B. F. Skinner. You seem to have added some valuable information. There is one problem with one of your edits: Although some aspects of Skinner's teachings are controversial, he is actually quite simply a good scientist who has dared to be scientific about human behavior. This does not conform to the Wikipedia policy of Neutral point of view. This means, we don't need to state wether Skinner was a "good" or "daring" scientist; we simply write about what he did, cite with reliable sources, and let the reader judge. Again, thank you for editing and I hope you will keep doing it! Leave me a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Any changes to this particular article can always be discussed on Talk:B. F. Skinner. Good luck! /skagedal... 08:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually the text was plagiarized from a published source anyway. So regardless of its lack of NPOV, it should not be added. Here is a warning template, although a bigger concern is the lack of proper attribution.
