Leap Manifesto
I think the addition of the demands is a close call but I did not leave a message before because I thought it was a close call and its inclusion without advocacy showed good faith. Now that you have called this into a question, I again reviewed the pages concerning what Wikipedia is not, neutral point of view and undue weight. I think it is not appropriate for me to revert the edit under these circumstances. It would require an analysis which might just require a non-productive and unnecessary discussion. I will have no objection to you restoring the edit with the source and without advocacy added to the article. I would revert my edit but you have an intervening edit so this would require me to do more than a reversion. I think you should make the change to your satisfaction. I am glad I did not place any kind of critical message here and I am sorry for the inconvenience. I cannot account for what other editors might think but upon reflection, I doubt that anyone will challenge the addition as you previously made it.

 * Hi. Just to chime in, I thank Donner60 for his message, and mention that I was close to reverting his removal of the key demands, myself. There didn't seem to me to be anything wrong with the article on Leap better defining what it is: and if these 15 points are the heart of it, fine. For the purposes of verifying accuracy, primary sources are perfectly acceptable. So I've restored the 15 points. I do see that other articles in Category:Political manifestos do list key demands, ideas, etc.
 * This is my first contribution to Wikipedia and I am still figuring out the mechanics and procedures. So, thank you both for your helpful comments. Just one last question, is there any guidance or restrictions with regards to making multiple modifications to the same page? I would like to continue improving the Leap Manifesto (background information, history and additional sources), but I am not sure if I should make all the changes at once or little by little. Thanks! karambache (talk) Karambache (talk) 16:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Good heavens no, or at least I hope there isn't! I have over 100,000 edits here and I can assure I make multiple changes to the same page. And I see you are clicking the "minor edit" box for minor edits and using edit summaries, so that's great. I also see you were never properly welcomed, so I'm going to apply a welcome template with links to more info if you wish. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:00, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to hear that. And thank you very much for your welcome and warm cookies ;) Karambache (talk) 18:22, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
