I tend to think that the formulation of systems theory as a authentic science was accomplished by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, generally regarded as the father of General Systems Theory, which systems theory is derived from. Elsewhere, it was mentioned that a general system theory was conceived of by at least two authors prior to von Bertalanffy's contribution. As far as I can tell, almost everyone in ISSS considers Bertalanffy et al, as the founder. Especially in light of his publication of his book General Systems Theory. | I tend to think that the formulation of systems theory as a authentic science was accomplished by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, generally regarded as the father of General Systems Theory, which systems theory is derived from.

First draft
I took a early copy of the Wikipedia article (Most of which had been subsequently deleted by wikipedians in the present article)which was edited and approved by Marcus Schwaninger, Alex Laszlo, Doug Walton and I, and placed it here. Several additions and revisions were then made here by me. Alex Laszlo wrote "Nice, but you left out a word" Matthew Shapiro questions the significance of placing ISSS in the second paragraph. I agree about the ISSS, but want to place how systems began there.

Format
This article is currently looking like a mess and needs reformatting. Yi Zhe Wu 18:03, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
- I just started. Thanks for the right thumb. Thomas Mandel 20:48, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
- I read on your user page that you are a high school student interested in literature, history and law. what is your experience with "formatting" and can you be more specific about the kind of formatting you are talking about? Can you help me with formatting the lists at the end of the article? I don't know how to do that right. Thomas Mandel 21:16, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
- I was talking about the Wiki markup and the section headings, not the substantive formatting of the article. Sorry for the confusion. When I first spotted the article, there was no section headings, but now it is a lot better. For lists, the * (asterisk) is the bullet. I just used this way to format the external link section. Thanks! Yi Zhe Wu 23:02, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
- Glad to meet you. I sure can use help with the wiki formatting. I figured the astric opps astrisk, out and made some changes myself. Are you familair with Chinese philosophy.

Wikipedia credit?
An earlier version of the article came from WP, didn't it? Is there some reason we aren't checking the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box? --Larry Sanger 02:44, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
- All wikipedia content has been removed/revised with the exception of the lists at the bottom. If necessary I can remove those too. Thomas Mandel 07:48, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
