Talk:The Third Industrial Revolution

Are tags needed now?

I'm wondering how the three tags apply to the current version of this article. If they do, please explain how. If they don't, surely they should be deleted. Johnfos (talk) 10:10, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

No discussion, so I've removed the tags. Johnfos (talk) 07:50, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I've replaced the tags. The notability of this book (and, therefore, the need for an article about the book) is in question because the book doesn't appear to meet the notability criteria in WP:BOOK. The bulk of the article papears to be original research; while it is cited, the cites are often simple keyword matches and don't support or document the assertions and conclusions made in the article. The bulk of the content of the article is about the third industrial revolution as a concept, not about the book itself.

Further, I've removed the "good article" template because, as far as I can tell, this article has never gone through the good article nomination and review processes. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Copyright violation

I just removed 4 consecutive sections contributed by User:63.139.250.66 and User:Flourish4520. The first and the last 2 used Rifkin's writings unfairly. The second is not as blatantly copy-pasted, but is more than close paraphrasing looking at [1] and [2]. I don't see any indication that the material copied is suitably licensed for the usage we did. This content was added more than 6 months ago, so I'm sorry for modifications which will be lost.

I believe a single editor is behind this IP and this account. This editor is biased and possibly in COI. It has contributed over 90% of this article. There might be more copyvio left. See also Talk:Jeremy_Rifkin#Copyright_violation. --Chealer (talk) 06:18, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

I think we still have a copyvio problem. It was getting a high score so I reverted a lot of recently added blather. That helped but not as much as I hoped. It is still scoring 78% on Earwig's Copyvio Detector. I will tag accordingly. I think we may need to stub the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

All that stuff about "implementing the 5 pillars" was copied from http://www.thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/masterPlan.cfm. We respect their copyrights and we modestly want no part in taking unjust credit for producing such great wisdom. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Second half of the lead section was also copyvio. Will there be anything left once all the copyvios are removed? --DanielRigal (talk) 21:34, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

The answer is yes, but not much. Still, I like it as it is now. A nice simple stub which covers what the book is about and how it has been received. Less is more, as they say. Anybody who wants to know more can go read their website or maybe even actually buy the book. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:52, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
