Emily Oster
Tumon, please read the article. The source you are adding, and the information is already in there. The fact that this is a "former" challenge, and that it has been withdrawn is even in the lead. The material you're deleting describes the argument that Oster made, it does not agree with the conclusion. I'm quite aware that since Oster published her initial study the research has been greatly updated - but this is already in the article.radek (talk) 05:32, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's useful to explain in the article why the challenge failed. Otherwise it's sort of "there was a challenge then there wasn't" which leaves the readers under informed. I don't think the space devoted to the challenge is undue and keep in mind that this WAS the main controversy in this area for a long time. Even if, as more work is done on this topic, other sections will be expanded and in relative terms the importance of this section will diminish. But let's wait for that. Generally, it's better to expand other sections of the article (provided we have reliable sources) rather than remove referenced material.radek (talk) 05:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, this discussion should be taking place on the article's talk page, where others can see it and offer their views, rather than on our respective talk pages.radek (talk) 05:49, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * So can I restore the text? Please understand that the purpose of it is not to endorse Oster's research which she herself disagreed with, but rather only to provide the information necessary for explaining why it turned out to be false eventually. And also, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your contributions. Keep at it.radek (talk) 06:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
