Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 11:39, 17 May 2019 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced (don't have access to the sources so AGF accepting them), hook is cited inline and interesting, and QPQ provided. Good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Piotrus Came to promote -- can you tell me which sentence in the article is the hook sentence? I see "bridging" in the lead with no citation, but that explicit connection nowhere else in the article? Sorry, not trying to be obtuse, just trying to anticipate objections if I promote. --valereee (talk) 18:08, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- valereee I used 'bridging' in attempt to summarize this sentence (which has several refs, one given here): "While Wilson's work was at first ignored by moral philosophers, generally seen as controversial and even described as "arrogant", Singer was one of the first scholars from this approach to positively engage with it, arguing that at least some of sociobiology's arguments in general and Wilson's arguments in particular are valuable for further development of our understanding of ethics (also known as moral philosophy)". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:47, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
