Synthesis

edit

You should be aware, by now, that Wikipedia does not allow original synthesis of published material to advance a position. Do you have a source that specifically remarks on Viens' being a philosopher in the context of his comments about Taylor's ridged band? Jakew (talk) 19:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
