• Article is new enough and long enough. The hooks are interesting, short enough, and supported in the article by inline citations, except ALT2 says he ran the PCF whereas the article (and apparently the sources) says he ran the publishing branch of the PCF. I think the first hook is the most accessible and it's my preference. Article is appropriately written- a good encyclopedic biography based on suitable sources. QPQ done. Thanks for extending the coverage of philosophy on Wikipedia. MartinPoulter (talk) 09:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this. I think ALT0 could be said about other books, but ALT1 is good. Since English readers will skip over the French title, I would like to suggest tightening it this way:
• ALT1a: ... that French philosopher Lucien Sève wrote a four-volume work focusing on his perceived problems with people's interpretation of Marxism?

• ALT1A is fine with me. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring tick for foreign-language source. Yoninah (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Not one subsection only

The section "Works" of the article contained but 1 subsection ("List"). From the American Psychological Association style guide - to give just one example - you can learn: "Avoid having only one subsection heading within a section, just like in an outline." (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/paper-format/headings). To my mind, this rule should be applied in this case. That's because I added a heading for a second subsection ("General Remarks"). This addition was reverted. I would suggest to reestablish my addition.

This isn't a part of Wikipedia's manual of style (MOS:HEADINGS is relevant section). And whilst it may be customary in America according to that source, Wikipedia is a worldwide organisation. And no evidence that the extra header adds value, or is necessary according to Wikipedia standards. Joseph2302 (talk) 01:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
