thread_title:  Alphabetization 

message: The content in this article would be showed better if it were to be listed as a sortable table, where each reader could sort by ay of several categories. I suggest the following categories: Invention year, country, continent, shorthand (yes/no), writing systems intended to be unreabable for all but the chosen few (yes/no), whether the inventor could read/write another writing system before his invention or if he was a illiterate who did the whole thing from scratch, and a field to put various unclassified notes.--109.124.131.251 (talk) 10:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea.  The list was originally in chronological order, but some time ago, an editor took it upon himself to put it in "alphabetical" order which is far less informative or useful to people actually interested in the subject.  He did not have proper consensus to do this, and should have been reverted, but I never got around to fixing it. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:38, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Since that time, fewer than 500 such Laureates have been selected across all fields of science for outstanding contributions to science generally and to the leadership of the United States in all fields.

message: While the article claims that the paper's authorship of Alpher, Bethe and Gamow is a pun on the first three Greek letters Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, it's more likely a parody of the first three Hebrew letters Aleph, Beth and Gimel.

Talk:Kshatriya/Archive 1

message: somebody anonymously keeps adding that the kshatriya were "originally" the highest caste. I removed this when NPOVing the article, but now it's back, and in boldface. It seems this opinion is held by the Rajput or something, but I know of nothing that would warrant this belief.
Now if this person would at least give a source to support this. Heck, we can even put, "the Rajput of Rajasthan have a tradition that the kshatriya were on top" or something. Until we arrive at such a version, I  encourage passers-by to remove this. I have no intention of baby-sitting this article, or any article beleaguered by nationalistic crackpots, for that matter. Let me just say, if you are the person adding this, kindly give your source. Ah, and it's okay to remove the bold type, too. If you are just a friendly wikipedian, do the article a favour and remove any "kshatriyas rule!" stuff ;-)  -- Dbachmann 21:02, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Kshatriya/Archive 2

message: Kind Attention Dbkasar
I seriously  have no clue as to where you get the sources of your scholarship.
Some of your claims are too hilarious even to comment on.
Shivaji descended from the Mewar rajput lineage.
(which was opposed by the brahmins in pune,because of a power struggle)
In a letter written by Shahaji to Shivaji, the first sentence he writes is "We brave Rajputs..."
Anyways ,
Well you may continue basking in whatever kind of Kshatriya past glory.
make up anything you want,Do whatever you want..This wikipedia is a joke..Anyone can manipulate facts over here.
and just a bit of advice..Find an alternate career .Noone shall take you seriously as a historian.
or go find a worthwhile purpose in life.
If you are a true Kshatriya/Rajput/maratha , do something so that others call u one..
Protect someone weaker than you, or fight for someone who cannot fight for themselves  or wipe someone's tears....that is the true kshatra dharma, then you wont need to prove anything on any internet site.

thread_title:  Adjective, a Question: 

message: Temperance should not be equivocated with moderation. Both temperance and moderation involve, well, moderation, but where someone practicing moderation is fighting the urge to indulge, the temperate person is unbothered and at peace with the moderation.
Also, saying that Christianity requires temperance is controversial at best; abstinence especially. The so-called temperance that Christianity offers seems more like self-degradation bordering on self-loathing ("Not being worthy", "constant need of God's forgiveness", etc.)Though I'm sure I can find some more sources to post --I'm short on time-- Richard White's 'Radical Virtues' comes to mind. He discusses both claims I'm making. 
I'll be back to actually improve the entry; I promise!

thread_title:  Not quite right 

message: I think this article defines temperance way too broadly, confusing it with clearly distinct virtues.  The fact that all virtue arguably partakes of a general "goodness" does not mean that distinctions among specific virtues are arbitrary, but this article implies the opposite
If you look up temperance in the dictionary, you get: (1) self-restraint; (2) moderation; and (3) total absence from liquor.
Self-restraint and moderation are also the classical definitions of Temperance, and certainly what classical writers had in mind when they defined Temperance as one of the four essential virtues.
Prudence is not the same thing as Temperance, and indeed it is listed as a separate essential virtue by Classical writers.  Including it here under Temperance tends to confuse the topic rather than clarify it.
Humility and Forgiveness are also separate virtues.  In the classical schema, they are much better defined as aspects of Justice.  In the Christian taxonomy, they are aspects of Love and Faith.
I propose that the language on these other virtues be moved to their own articles.  Yes, again, there are connections among these virtues, but we do no favor to readers by muddying the waters rather than providing clear distinctions.  
A reader should come away from an article like this with an accurate sense of what people generally mean when they speak of "temperance."  By confusing temperance with a bunch of other virtues, this article does not accomplish that result, and hence does a disservice to the uninformed reader.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsquire3 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Should the Christian Theology template have been added to this page?  Although it is admittedly rather uneven, I have tried to begin including Jewish theology, and intend to add more Islamic theology; I hope that others might be persuaded to add theologies or equivalents from other religious traditions as well.  It seems to pull against that to brand the page as specifically and particularly Christian?

thread_title:  Christian Theology template 

message: I removed the following material from the start of the section on theology on Classical Greece:
A theological approach to history tends to look at the existence of individuals under the judgement of God. With the existence of an absolute divinity a theological perspective takes on the role of man's purpose within this realm. A theological history, includes the work of St Augustine, The City of God. St Augustine was a Platonic thinker, unlike the works of St Thomas Aquinas who adopted an Aristotelian outlook.
Various reasons:
# The article is about the history of theology, not the theology of history;
# The history of theology has seen many different views of God propounded and defended, only some of which would be comfortable with the phrase 'absolute divinity';
# Similarly, only some historical theologies would see themselves as concerned with human purpose in the realm  ruled by God;
# The figures mentioned do not belong in the section on classical Greek thought - and each is already mentioned further down the page; and
# While Augustine was certainly strongly influenced by neoplatonism, there is debate about whether he should himself be called a platonist - and Aquinas was deeply influenced by Plato as well as by Aristotle.
