The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
What was a poor article [1] is now an odd article [2] mainly about Hinduism. Some decent sources although I don't know if they are being used properly, some not so good sources such as letter from an ISKCON leader. [3]. I'm not familiar with the subject so hope others can look at at. Doug Weller talk 08:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Dear friends—
Your input would be much appreciated at Talk:Separation of powers#Splitting off 'branches of government': The solution to finally advancing past 'start class'?, particularly if you think of yourself as a member of the social and political philosophy task force.
Separation of powers is a central concept in normative and descriptive political theory, and a widely-known concept among the general public, generally through participation in high school
civics. As such, its perennial status as a
start class article is a real shame.
I put its disorganization, lack of concision, and many POV problems mostly down to editors' confusion about what the article should focus on. This confusion is, of course, common to many
broad-concept and academically challenging articles.
In my opinion, separation of powers is best described as a (multi-faceted) normative proposal about how to organize political power in political philosophy discourse and in constitution-making; and the application side of this principle is primarily a matter of
constitutional theory and law.
Yet, in the article, there is an enormous amount of (unsystematic) content pertaining to individual countries' branches of government (belonging, I think, to the academic discipline of descriptive political science;
comparative government, specifically). I have just proposed that these sections be split off into an article called 'branches of government' (or similar).
If you would like to see a rigorous approach to political philosophy concepts like 'separation of powers', I am convinced that adopting my proposal is the crucial first step. But I wish to hear your perspectives; my perspective may be too close, or I may not be considering all the options.
I thank you for your help. §§ LegFun §§ talk §§ 20:41, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
