Sydneg, great start! Please proceed with moving the article into the mainspace. Some thoughts on your continued work.
Reagle, is it okay to post a picture I took of the book cover? I received a comment from a Wikimedia user that it's not allowed. Thank you!
Hi Reagle, I think my article is ready to be moved to the mainspace. Can you please look over my changes and let me know if it's ready to be moved? Thank you! Sydneg ( talk) 17:13, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi User:Shalor (Wiki Ed)! I'm Sydne. I'm taking Reagle's Online Communities class. I've written an article on Paul Bloom's book, Against Emapthy, and I think it's ready for the mainspace. Do you think you can help me with moving the article? Thank you! Sydneg ( talk) 20:20, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey Sydneg,
I think you have a great article! I made a couple of grammatical/style fixes, but overall I think you did a great job with an interesting book.
Just a couple of suggestions:

Sydneg, the article looks really good! I went through and made some grammar changes as some of your sentences had subject/verb separation that made your point unclear. My main recommendation would be for you to go back through and try to explain the concepts more clearly for a broad audience. While what you have would make sense for those familiar with Bloom's work or arguments on empathy, I don't think it will be as accessible for those just learning about it. Read through each section and ask yourself if someone completely unfamiliar with distinctions between empathy and morality would understand what you are saying. For example, in the section on Rational Decision Making, you say dehumanization and objectification are the result of empathy. How? Additionally, in the section on Empathy vs Compassion, you say he finds rationalization of acts of kindness are more effective than empathy in guiding moral actions. Why does he think that? And earlier, why does empathy misguide acts of kindness? I think what you have is great for people that have an idea already, but going through and really digging into why Bloom arrives at these conclusions will help outsiders better understand what you are saying. - Bcstanley1 ( talk) 00:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
