Hello, I'm Herbfur. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to J. Philippe Rushton have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Herbfur (Eric, He/Him) (talk) 01:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Eric. I'm not sure what was non-constructive about my edit. The sentence I removed contains information that already appears below in the body of the article, nearly word for word, and the specifics of the Pioneer Fund in particular don't belong in the introduction.

 * The reason I perceived your edit as non-constructive is because you changed a quote that read "brought the economy to its knees" to "brought Lord Mammon to its knees", which isn't what the quote says (according to the source). Also, the material you removed was in a reference and was likely added to provide corroboration for a claim made in that sentence, so I don't really agree that it's redundant. If you'd like to cite the redundant parts, I'd be more than willing to reconsider, however. Herbfur (Eric, He/Him) (talk) 02:21, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * OH my gosh I'm terribly sorry about that, the "Lord Mammon" thing came from a Chrome extension I forgot I had turned on! I only meant to nix two sentences from the introduction- the one repeating the same information found in the body (specifically to be found in the section about unfavorable academic opinion), and the sentence about the Pioneer Fund, although I think that could be moved down to the same section if you'd prefer.
