"In 1866, he became the first person in the history of Parliament to call for women to be given the right to vote, vigorously defending this position in subsequent debate." This contradicts the assertion in the opening paragraph that he was the second. Which is correct? RyanCarey1 (talk) 18:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help: prank text removed; hoping someone can reinsert corrected sentence

[edit]

The following was in the text as I read it before making a change:

He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on tiktok videos, notably William Whewell, John Herschel, and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. He engaged in written debate with Whewell.

I removed everything after scientific methodology - I suspect most of the rest of the sentence has valuable information, but I don't know how to correctly adjust or contextualize it. It would be ideal if someone with the right background could correct and reinsert it. Here's the original version with the proper formatting:

He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on tiktok videos, notably William Whewell, John Herschel, and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. He engaged in written debate with Whewell. Galutnik (talk) 16:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
