Talk:Antoine Arnauld

message: This article is on a philosopher who was held in extremely high esteem by his contemporaries, and yet there is nothing in this article elaborating on his system or beliefs. The biography is great, but if anyone can contribute to his philosophy, that would be awesome. Shaggorama 06:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Link in intro si to Port-Royal (Paris), but most of info on history of education at Port-Royal, and on Jansenism at Port-Royal, is in article Port-Royal-des-Champs. From data (and dates) currently available there I can't decide which location is correct here (e.g. where Arnauld wrote some of his Port-Royal books, and if I recall correctly, where he was  abbot in his later days). This source https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Arnauld/ might help, but shows both Port-Royal (Paris) and Port-Royal-des-Champs article probably need restucturing. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 13:06, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Port-Royal 

message: === Current state ===
The article in current state is interesting and easy to read, but doesn't include information on several fields of Arnauld's activity that are still influential in late 20. century and beyond, and I can't add it without rewriting and restructuring, which I currently can't do in a way that would keep the current good way of narration. 
I started with looking into citation needed spots, and found out that links to other WP articles would be usefull (or better, necessary), which I think I can't do without rewriting parts of the text, and/or restructuring the article. But I can't do that now well (including that my current intenet link latency is 6 seconds), so I mention what I think is needed if somebody else can do it before I can.
=== Links needed === 
Wikipedia has existing articles on Arnauld's works Port-Royal Logic and Port-Royal Grammar, which by looking into their referrences are both notable and worthy of their own arcticles, and need expansion (with info on current influence in their fields), not reduction to sections in Arnauld artcle here. When I sought where to put those links, I found out I would need a section like Legacy to put these (and possible other I missed yet) fields his works which were, and seemingly stil are, influential today. 
=== Problem with existing citation ===
Trying to add citation needed for Port-Royal Grammar influence, I found existing referrence to Walter Farquhar Hook's An ecclesiastical biography..., and when I looked into that digitized source (at https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/007328862  - tedious with such latency and one page download for one request limit) I saw it a good and interesting source about Arnaulds struggle with church authorities and factions (reminds me of so many similar in other contexts), but I didn't find any mention of this work at all. While perusing it (even after I found how to request text only from hathitrust page) my browser started misbehaving till I had to "kill" that process tree, and request restoring previous session (after omitting hathitrust page's tab after starting the iternet browser again). 
Google found good source for recent interest on that Arnauld's work on grammar (which suits one of "citation needed" hints)  , but I am unable to find where and how citation [2] in second line in Antoine Arnauld#Principal works that doesn't address this work, got there and how to change it. For the moment I give up - and, hopefully, I'll find some work done, or t least a piece of advice - when I return. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 12:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
