Article title

I've know this page is referred from "anti-work" and "antiwork". I wonder if it should be called Anti-Work rather than Critique of Work? Just a thought. - Rednamala Hi. I've solved it by inserting a template, which was previously implemented but then removed. Regarding the name I think it might risk confusion with the social movement against work, so I think this is an acceptable middle path. But please get back to me with any criticism and or reposes. I'm sure I speak for many in the wikipedia community when I say that we're happy to have you here editing, and I would encourage you to edit more. Especially since these topics since Wikipedia is lacking both in history of this topic, and of contemporary views. Pauloroboto (talk) 09:56, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Buckminster Fuller

Citation found

For the buckminster fuller quote. Sorry, I'm not a regular wikipedian, just came across this quote and happened to know where it's from. No idea how to put in citations properly so I've put it here. New York Magazine, 30 March 1970 p30 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=cccDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=en&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.9.195.168 (talk) 10:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for this contribution! I would like to encourage you to contribute by spreading more knowledge on Wikipedia. Pauloroboto (talk) 13:01, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed this and other content similarly sourced to primary sources without any secondary RS that links it to the topic of this article and without full context as to the meaning and significance of the quoted words. Under WP policies, this kind of cherrypicked primary text is Original Research as to the topic of the page and is likely to mislead our readers and misrepresent the topic. Secondary discussion of the subject including any significant or noteworhty quotes needs to be provided, not just the fact that the words were published and said by various individuals at one time or another when they were not addressing the specific subject of this page. You can go to WP:NORN or WP:NPOVN if you disagree, but do not insert such content into article pages without demonstrated consensus. SPECIFICO talk 14:18, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your contribution to this page regarding the Critique of work. To for example insert the quote from mr Fuller in his own page seems like a reasonable solution.
The same probably goes for Friedrich.
Do you have any further contributions to make regarding expanding hopefully both the quality and quantity of the article content? I would be interested in working with you in that case. Again, thank you for your time. Pauloroboto (talk) 14:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pauloroboto, part of the Fuller quote can be found on page 273 of Bullshit Jobs. That should establish WEIGHT. Kolya Butternut (talk) 15:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for noting this @Kolya Butternut. I have tried to reinstate content in a matter that complies to the wiki policy.
Regarding Nietzsche, I've made it more explicit what he can be claimed to state since he is not commenting on what he conceives as an anti work ethic, but is anti the work ethic. Pauloroboto (talk) 19:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
