Talk:A priori (disambiguation)

message: Hi all.  I've made this article into a disambiguation article.  But, have no fear, everything has been preserved; it's just been reorganized.  As you can see, I've created links to what could be the articles for other uses of the term "a priori", such as a priori (math modeling).  I've created an article called a priori (philosophy) for the philosophy one, except it redirects to the new a priori and a posteriori (philosophy) article—see below under "Merge" for more on that. I hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes.  I just thought that it would have been too confusing, time-consuming, and otherwise difficult to try and spell out how to reorganize all this on the talk page.  So, instead, I just did, so everyone can see.  It really seems like an obvious and intuitive way to organize things.  I really hope that the a priori and a posteriori (philosophy) entry can get polished up more too on it's own. - Jaymay 07:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: User Ajo Mama has suggested some sort of merger.  I'm not sure exactly what he wants merged and why.  It would be nice if Ajo Mama would clarify here on the talk page. - Jaymay 23:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See this diff. It makes no sense to propose merging a disambiguation page into one of the links on that page. – Wbm1058 (talk) 13:54, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Since User Ajo Mama hasn't provided any discussion here regarding his suggestion, I'm just going to take off the merge banner.  But, by all means, discuss it here if you'd like. -- Jaymay 22:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it pronounced: ah-pree-ori, or ay-pry-oriy? 128.6.175.30 14:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Either way, I think.  I have heard professionals pronounce it each way pretty much 50/50.  I don't think there's a way to tell how it is "truly" pronounced, since it is Latin. - Jaymay 04:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is a priori ever hyphenated? It seems like it should be, but I almost never see it. —Ben FrantzDale 13:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have never seen it hyphened, at least in philosophy.  Sometimes professional philosophers write it together as one word, especially when used as a noun, e.g. "aprioricity".  I think it's just an attempt to make it a term of art in philosophy, which, by now, it is. - Jaymay 04:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

:The entry should probably remain, but the long explanation here should be moved to the page.  The goal of disambiguation pages is provide all readers reasonably easy access to the information they are looking for - and having long descriptions on the page makes it harder for those looking for OTHER articles to navigate to them quickly.
