Mav, can you explain why you have made this cut? It seemed ly useful (although not well-written) information) Slrubenstein

The edits in question were made by 142.177 who is banned from the Wikipedia. See [1] for more details. The Anome

I think it should be edited probably. But, the article is good. Who could edit it ? Can you do it The Anome ? Or can Slrubenstein edit it ? John Stewart

Ho, I had not seen someone put a comment. Yes, it should be edited probably, but it is interesting I think. Maybe someone will be better than me for that.John Stewart

Neutrality

This describes a political theory as a neutral fact. Needs serious rewriting. Goldfritha (talk) 01:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It needs some simple rewriting. forestPIG ^(grunt) 20:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the simple addition of the phrase "the theory of" or "the notion of" appended before the term "carceral state" might obviate nearly all perception of this article being non-neutral, as it is. It seems merely a case of poor writing, rather than the author meaning to write a polemic piece. Too many of these and too many things on my plate, but it is a simple edit for someone who has a half-hour to spare.Googlyelmo (talk) 11:03, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We agree on the writing quality. And yes, a few bright candies too. To me the only consequential question is; is it clearly explaining reality? To me, no it is not. Language in this context should be clear, focused, and invisible, not wandering and distracting. At first glance it looks like half belongs on the editor's floor. ....and a lot longer than 1/2 hour. OK. "If I'm not learning on-topic stuff, then the article is failing, cut it." Does that sound something like a consensus attitude for editing the article??

To me it looks more like a pile of lumber than a building. It's been 9 years. Is it even worth trying to fix?
