Talk:Revenge

message: This article is linked to the Golda Meir article from the link Vengeance, which is about the Israeli response to the 1972 Munich Olympic attacks. I think we may need a disambiguation page going to Vengeance. Flyerhell 09:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Francis Bacon has some nice quote material about revenge.
any examples?
I'd enjoy seeing quotes from a few other books that deal with revenge. Hamlet, Titus Andronicus, anything like that. It would enhance the readers understanding on the subject by including such quotes. --Caitlynwhite123 (talk) 00:20, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

message: What is perhaps missing from the article is an explanation of revenge in terms of evolutionary psychology. GregorB (talk) 19:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is this included? Revenge does not appear on the template or the list, and dictionary definitions and my intuition suggest it is not an emotion.--Rogerb67 (talk) 00:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emotions template? 

message: A fiend of mine, who happens to be a lawyer, once pointed out in a half-joking manner, that revenge worked like a negative contract.  To explain what that means: the idea of a contract is that "if you do something good for me, I'll do something good for you".  But the idea of revenge, the negative contract, is that "if you something bad against me, I'll do something bad against you".  And all the notions of interest, compound interest and especially continuous compound interest hold in place.  He further added that revenge or the threat of revenge may very well be the only true defense against a preemptive strike.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.37.226.242 (talk) 04:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  How does one seperate retribution from Revenge?

message: : "Retaliate" redirects here. For the album by Misery index, see Retaliate (album).
This hatnote was removed on September 25 by 124.168.58.0 saying, "A death metal album not important enough for a redirect."
Anyone looking for the album will first try Retaliate, and it would be discourteous not to tell them where they ought to look.  If the album is not important enough for such a brief note, it's not important enough for an article, and you may urge its deletion.
If consensus prefers not to clutter up this article with such a note, how about this?  Change Retaliate to point to the album (I for one would not use a verb to look for an article on a common noun), and give that unimportant article a hatnote suggesting Revenge. —Tamfang (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The last line of the text for this section mentions a "Confucious" quote. I hate to say it, but this article says it's mis-attributed to him. It's apparently some old Japanese proverb, first written mention of it is in the 1920s? I was doing a little research into the quote when stumbled upon the confusion, and thought I might mention it.--Joshua Torelli (talk) 06:15, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Proverbially" 

message: the first picture at the top of the page with hamlet, etc is jarring because the sides of the picture don't line up. Makes the whole article look amateurish. Could someone with better picture editing skills than me fix that? I tried but made it worse so I cancelled my changes. Parsh (talk) 03:28, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I understand this page is in development, but either by mere circumstance of deliberate intention, most information is (at least from my perspective) considerably biased against revenge. During development, I recommend citing from sources that display advocation in order to attain more "balance".

thread_title:  revenge editing 

message: Revenge is a huge topic in literature and I feel like this section of the article is really lacking important information. It basically just lists the names of books that contain revenge, without giving much more detail. This section of the article can be improved on by adding more specific detail and more relevant information about revenge in literature. 
As a side note, I don't believe that humans are the only creatures that execute revenge. Some animals also have the instinct for revenge, so maybe a section could be added on revenge in other species. This is just a thought.

thread_title:  "In the Arts" 

message: I added a section titled "Revenge In Animals" because I felt like this article was very anthropocentric. Many scientific studies have been performed that prove revenge is also a trait in different species other than humans. I felt it was an important detail that this article was missing. It is just another interesting topic for revenge.

thread_title:  Revenge In Animals 

message: Without a doubt, it is seen that there are a variety of themes present within a revenge text that are explicit to this genre. Adding a new section discussing the recurring themes within revenge literature would further enhance the article's relevance. I have added this section because the same themes have been occurring for centuries, dating back to the Victorian Era. I also believe themes are a very important aspect of any literary text on revenge, seeing as in order for a text to be considered a revenge text, it must hold similar components. --Caitlynwhite (talk) 02:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Themes  

message: This article is ripe with personal opinions and meaningless statements. Edits like this may look poetic but they are far from encyclopedic. Most of the stuff is unsourced and seemingly arbitrarily added, with many of them not even having to do with revenge. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 18:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seriously needs better sourcing 

message: Article chosen: Revenge
What I plan to contribute:
I'd really like to include and expand upon a section on revenge and how it relates to individual human relationships. There is much to be shared about this subtopic of revenge.
Revenge and how it differs based on an individual's social and cultural background also interests me. I believe this would be a great subtopic to develop with reverences.
The History section of this article has been marked for indiscriminate, excessive or irrelevant examples. I would like to improve this article by clarifying and improving the existing information and providing a solid foundation for this topic.

thread_title:  Planned future contributions to this page. 

message: To start off the revenge page is structured nicely and seems to be equally informative under each headline. 
As I went through each paragraph I found out new information about the history of revenge. All of the sections are strong and have great examples of each citation, but it was missing more explanations within the content. As a reader I had to click a lot of the links to be reminded of what point in history was being referenced. 
Overall, my favorite part about the revenge article is the art portion, because although it was brief, the pictures were visually interesting and portrayed the subject perfectly! I would just re-visit the sources because there are a lot and some could be omitted or even condensed.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dneverson (talk • contribs) 02:08, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
