It's terrific that you helped clarify a lot of this article. However, you shouldn't remove Wikipedia links when doing so. Like the link to Johnson & Wales University. Rearranging is fine, but you should watch so you don't remove links by accident. Also, removing whole paragraphs is probably inappropriate, unless there's a good reason (which should be listed here, on the talk page). For example, the paragraph on Nissen's early research was included because that's what he did (look at the list of published works). If you feel this is mis-characterized, edit the paragraph and say why here on the Talk page. The paragraph you substituted was not an edit, but rather an addition (or so it seems).
- Finally, I would advise against removing categories. Nissen is indeed a historian who focuses on the labor movement and on the history of the United States. He is also a historian from the United States. Removing categories could be considered vandalism. If there are good reasons for changing a category (for example, clarifying a category by changing "Historians" to "American Historians"), they should be listed on the Talk page here so everyone can hash out the best categories. If a category is blatantly wrong (e.g., "Women Historians" when the individual is clearly male), it could be removed. But again, the reason should be listed here.
- The edits and changes were, otherwise, very helpful. Thanks! Contribute some more! - Tim1965 03:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
