Moral reasoning

[edit]
  • ... did you know that moral reasoning is culturally defined, and thus is difficult to apply; yet human relationships define our existence and thus defy cultural boundaries.

Some parts are still uncited, and read like OR. For example, the last paragraph has "When it came to moral decisions both men and women would be faced with they often chose the same solution as being the moral choice. This shows that gender division in terms of morality does not actually exist. Reasoning between genders is the same in moral decisions." Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Temporarily striking my delete vote as per Rjanag, but as of August 11 I still see an article that reads like OR, with not one improvement since July 29. I have notified author on talk page, as have others. Sharktopus talk 03:06, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have now rewritten the article extensively. A previous copyedit had missed many of the problems. As expanded, this is a poorly structured and inadequate overview with mostly poor sources and showing poor understanding in places. NPOV doesn't really come into it because it's too close to the sources. There was close rewording where summary should have been used, but no plagiarism or copyvio that I can see; too many refs rather than too few. In short, it's freshman-level class work that needed advice and guidance from the instructor. The student had trouble with the citation templates and as intuited by Sharktopus has added examples as a means of clarification as one would in an essay. There is one bit of OR, which I commented out. I don't think it's ready for prime time, but if an expert can whip it into shape and if it then still meets the length requirement, may I suggest:

  • This one is a difficult call as IMO the article is quite well written and informative; however, about half the article is sourced to about.com and somebody's personal website which fail WP:V, so I am reluctantly declining it. Gatoclass (talk) 06:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
