I have a little knowledge of the history of the settlement movement in Britain, but none of that in America, so I just take an independent view of it.  If we are going to re-approve this article, the question is which version.  The Main Article contains a number of changes to the Citable Version which are, I think, mostly improvements.  The main exception to this is the deletion of the paragraph on lesbianism.  There was considerable discussion on the talk page about this paragraph prior to approval, and in the end a change was made in a footnote.  Some time after the approval, Russell D Jones, who had taken no part in the previous discussion, removed the whole paragraph without giving any reason that I can discover.  There doubtless is a reason, but it cannot be judged.  My own inclination would be (1) to use the Main Article, but (2) to reinstate the paragraph, and (3) to promote the comment in the footnote to the text. --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] ([[User talk:Martin Wyatt|talk]]) 20:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Previously nominated article for evaluation of approval:


Previously approved article for reevaluation:

I have a little knowledge of the history of the settlement movement in Britain, but none of that in America, so I just take an independent view of it. If we are going to re-approve this article, the question is which version. The Main Article contains a number of changes to the Citable Version which are, I think, mostly improvements. The main exception to this is the deletion of the paragraph on lesbianism. There was considerable discussion on the talk page about this paragraph prior to approval, and in the end a change was made in a footnote. Some time after the approval, Russell D Jones, who had taken no part in the previous discussion, removed the whole paragraph without giving any reason that I can discover. There doubtless is a reason, but it cannot be judged. My own inclination would be (1) to use the Main Article, but (2) to reinstate the paragraph, and (3) to promote the comment in the footnote to the text. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 20:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
