Some of this content is from Wikipedia. I was the contributor there for that content originally. It in turn draws on Almond's entry for the Penguin Dictionary of Philosophy, and I have permission for extensive use of the text.Martin Cohen 12:29, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Martin, if this article begins to change considerably and is unrecognizable as a wikipedia article, you can remove the content from wikipedia' checkbox (found next to the SAVE button when you edit the article). Would you be an editor on this article?! Put the subpages template on it and put your workgroup in and bingo, you're in. D. Matt Innis 01:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
