Talk:Eight Immortals

message: The book I mentioned above says that Sennin is just the Japanese equivalent of the word hsien or hsien-jen - immortals. The current entry on this suggests they are something different but states no sources. I've requested some and see the talk page for more discussion. If it can't be proved Sennin should probably either be turned into the hsien entry I mention above or turned into a redirect to that article (my prefered). (Emperor 21:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  2009 interview  

message: If you have read the previous section, you will know that half way through 2011 this article was given a massive cleanup by Spanglej (who did an incredible job by the way!). It was a passing thought at the time that due to the amount of content that was cut, it was very possible that some of it should have been kept in the article. Even if this is not true, I figured I might as well put the sections as they were pre-cleanup in here for easy access if anyone needs anything.--Coin945 (talk) 18:52, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Amazing new sources 

message: I have reorganized this article substantially. The topics are now grouped together in a more cohesive manner. (Here is a link to the original article with the old layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horrible_Histories_(book_series)&oldid=830690729). The article now looks like other similar children's book series, as far as layout goes.
The next steps, I believe, need to be in shortening the Concept & creation section. There is quite a bit of information that doesn't seem particularly relevant to the book series page and is more to do with the author. Additionally, the Criticism section could also use some editing. I would love any thoughts or suggestions on the new layout of information, etc. Thanks! Sewinginthepast (talk) 00:18, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

message: The section headed "Spin-offs" includes some book series from the same publisher, but other series whose only relationship to Horrible Histories is that they adopt a similar format/style.

thread_title:  Language Template ill-equipped for sign languages 

message: I've added quite explicit advice to not use Ethnologue as a source. There has been several conflicts here concering Scanian (linguistics) and Norwegian language (ongoing actually) that are almost entirely due to SIL's inability to abide by consensus among other linguists and, in the case of Scanian, the speakers themselves. Please change the wording if you feel it is too harsh, but one thing needs to be made clear; Ethnologue is not a valid source of information in of itself at the present moment. There are too many factual errors and blatant POV (or just fringe theories).

thread_title:  Ethnologue disclaimer 

message: Hello friends :) I finally put up a sister template page for sign languages - Wikipedia:WikiProject Language Template (sign language). It would be nice if others have a look at it and see if it fits with the project guidelines, offer feedback etc.
Also, I've been wondering why this template page doesn't include any space for cultural information about the language? For example, literature in the language, or storytelling traditions. Many languages have been suppressed by attempts by a state to impose a national language; some are not used in schools. This kind of information is actually there on many pages, but the template page is really focussed on linguistics. Any thoughts?
Thirdly, I wonder if the name "template" for this page is confusing when the word "template" has a specific meaning on wikipedia. Maybe "Standard page guidelines" or something would be better? ntennis 12:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

If it had nothing to do with the "RSA Factoring Challenge", why are we including it.. other than to have it in a list of RSA numbers that have been factored?
I note that RSA-129 is included in the RSA numbers article, which I think is fine. But I don't think it should be here in THIS article as it was not actually part of the "challenge".

Talk:Holiness Baptist Association

message: The statement:
John Wesley taught that holiness, or Christian perfection, was a definite and instantaneous second work of grace received by faith, and followed by gradual sanctification.
seems to be somewhat controversial; it certainly surprized me. Such research as I've done suggests Wesley may not have been consistent on this point. I reference the following link:
A Look At Holiness And Perfectionism Theology
Where is the "perfection followed by gradual sanctification" documented in Wesley's writings?
:I'll have to check my references, but I can tell you that my idea of his teachings comes more from reading about him, than from reading his writings. I have The Journal of John Wesley, but as it is not indexed, I cannot easily check it. I have problems with Adobe & pdf's on my home computer, so I'll check you link at my office tomorrow. Nevertheless, if you feel you can add a more accurate statement on Wesley's teachings on holiness/perfection, I would welcome your making the change. I certainly am no expert on Wesley or Methodism. Also my use of "followed by gradual sanctification" may need explanation, and could probably have been written in a better way. By the statement, I meant to say that Wesley taught an initial experience followed by a lifelong process of being sanctified or made holy. - Rlvaughn 02:27, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
