  • New enough, long enough, neutral, fully-sourced, no close paraphrasing problem (Earwig's 44.8% confidence score is due to longish book/article titles being repeated in the sources and article), hook is short enough, cited. Perhaps a bit over-dependent on the subject's CV, but I do not see a real problem there. Good to go. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Can a catchier hook be found? This is very dull and rather long. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:26, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
No problem. Give me a few days and I'll work something out- I sincerely thought it interesting, but I suppose that's just me. Josh Milburn (talk) 00:52, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
To an ignorant scientist, environmental ethics, theology & philosophy feel pretty much the same subject... Can you bring out the differences between her work in different areas? Or perhaps go with something about Environmental Ethics and Process Thinking, which seems to have generated a lively discussion? Espresso Addict (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
@Espresso Addict: I've expanded the article with some details about her research. Part of the trouble here is that Palmer's philosophy, though to my eyes very exciting, is fairly conservative, so it's tricky to come up with anything super-punchy that will appeal to a non-philosophical audience. How about this:
ALT1: ...that the philosopher Clare Palmer argues that humans are usually permitted to aid wild animals in need, and are sometimes required to?
The fact that helping wild animals in need is even a question philosophers consider might be surprising to some readers, garnering a few clicks, even if Palmer's approach might be thought of as a fairly intuitive one. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:15, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
  • O.k. with ALT1, which is sourced (offline) and in my view quite interesting. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:34, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks @J Milburn:, this is much improved! I haven't checked the article formally but can access the Daniel A. Dombrowski book review which confirms the hook fact. Btw, do you want to strike the original hook? Espresso Addict (talk) 22:45, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Struck. If you need me to make any changes with references/forward references to you, do let me know. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:06, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
  • The hook-relevant new material seems to be covered in the Dombrowski review, so no need, I think -- oh, the one thing I forgot, astonishingly there seems to be no article for wild animal (the blue link is a sort of hard redirect to wildlife), so that either needs linking elsewhere or delinking. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
  • I don't actually mind that link too much; feel free to remove if you do! Josh Milburn (talk) 23:53, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
