The Stewardship economy section needs references and needs to be converted from bullets to WP:PROSE.

I gather that you have sources appropriate for that section in "The Why? Supplement" -- is there a URL for that? EllenCT (talk) 12:03, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your message; moved deleted advantages section to article talk page
Dear Dr. Pratt, thank you for your message on my talk page. And your very kind words! I am fairly new here too, but I have a independent study lab advisor who is looking over my electronic shoulder and knows all the ins and outs of Wikipedia. On his advice, I moved the unsourced "Advantages" section that someone deleted to the article's talk page at Talk:Stewardship economy. When you add your supplement's sources and convert it to prose over the weekend, you can do it there, and then copy it back into the article when you're done, and see what happens. I will try to keep an eye on it and brush things up so don't worry too much about formatting. EllenCT (talk) 01:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Deletion discussion
I talked to my advisor about the situation. Neither of us are very happy about some of the edits which people have made while the deletion discussion is ongoing. What I am going to do is put a copy of the original article in your WP:USERSPACE here: User:Julianpratt/Stewardship Economy

What you can do is change the article so that it's specifically about the book. However, it's uncertain whether a re-created article will be seen in a favorable light, so please have a look at WP:BK and try to do whatever you can to get independent reviews, e.g. send copies of the book with the reviews you already have to everyone who might possibly be interested in the topic and beg them to publish a review.

More later. EllenCT (talk) 16:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
