| Please try the article talk since the re-creation means I've really looked and still think the edit is appropriate and so posted there.

To be precise, Popper defines falsifiability as a separator for science from all else, not saying the all-else is pseudoscience.

Saying a test mentioned in modern discussions is correct of STanford, but saying it as the determination of a duality was not in Stanford. Non-falsifiable pieces might equally well be poetry, law, music, acconting etcetera.

| == Edit warring == | |||
| Hi Mark. I'm glad you've decided to join us here on wikipedia. When you have a chance, please read over ] and ]. I've seen you making some changes to various articles that qualifies as "edit warring". Edit warring happens when an editor makes a change, their change is reverted, and then they make the change again. This isn't the best way to handle disputes, and in fact can result in problems (including editing sanctions) down the road. It also just doesn't help resolve issues amicably with other editors. It would be best to try to avoid that in the future, and try to follow the advice of our "BRD" guideline; using BRD, when an edit is reverted, the editors rely on the talk page to come to consensus for a change before they reintroduce any edit that was disputed. I think trying this approach will really help out with your interactions with other editors. Please let me know if you have any questions or there's anything I can help with. Thanks. — ]<span style="margin:0 7px;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:0.9em">· ]]</span> 23:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC) | |||

Deletion discussion about Intelligent design (historical)
Hello, Markbassett,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Intelligent design (historical) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Intelligent design (historical) .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:36, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Reinstating edit on Creation-evolution controversy
Hi Markbasset, I see you reinstated your edit I had reverted previously, which removes the word pseudoscience. That word is backed by the reliable secondary source used and quoting Popper directly could actually be considered WP:OR since it's a primary source. It'd be great if you could give WP:BR a read. When an edit you make is reverted you go to the talk page, open a new thread about it and then wait to hear from other editors' input on the issue. Reverting back is considered bad practice and doing so more than three times in less than 24 hs (I'm not saying you did BTW) is considered edit warring. I'd really appreciate it if you could self revert your last edit and open a new thread so we can discuss it. Thank you very much. Regards. Gaba 02:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
