message: It is not true that she decided to retain, because of cacophony, her surname after marrying Peter Geach. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.19.14.43 (talk) 19:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't see that it says this.  It is true that she received his marriage proposal on the condition that she would not have to take his name.

message: I'd like to see a source for the suggestion that C.S. Lewis gave up theological argument because he lost a debate with her. That sounds a bit silly, particularly in light of the fact that Mere Christianity was published in 1952. 71.182.167.210 (talk) 05:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Seeing as the guy was born in 1919, he was thus born in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Thus my reason for adding United Kingdom via that link, to his birthplace. GoodDay (talk) 13:44, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

text: My point is, we either use countries or islands. If the latter? then use Ireland & Great Britain. If the former? use Great Britain and Ireland & United Kingdom. -- GoodDay (talk) 15:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't either use countries or islands; the majority of the UK infoboxes have the constituent country listed too. As it stands, we've now got Ireland (the island) and the UK. This is getting silly. JonChappleTalk 15:16, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Avoiding a pipe-link & going directly with United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, is best. It quite accurate & not confusing to readers. GoodDay (talk) 15:22, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not which part? Say, "Ireland, UK" and "England, UK"? JonChappleTalk 15:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think my versions are best. Also, I made adjustments to the context of the article, so readers shant confuse the island of Ireland with the current country of Ireland. GoodDay (talk) 15:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

text: I've altered the infobox to read "Ireland" and "England" in line with common practice to give the constituent country during the period. --RA (talk) 22:21, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Isn't there somewhere else besides the lead where quotations about Anscombe's importance as a philosopher could be placed? Three quotations in the lead praising her seems excessive. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 08:15, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: We could have an 'influence' section. I plopped them in there because I ran across the quotes while reading papers. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I was going to add a few more figures to her influences, but now I find that section of the infobox is deleted. Is there any particular reason why outside of lack of references?Artimaean (talk) 21:36, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "Infobox person" no longer supports the fields influences / influenced. I've installed "Infobox scientist", which does. Edit away. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:11, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

"Though the position was later adopted in a more radical form by David Lewis" should probably have a cited source. Sadly, I don't know the paper or collection thereof that this is referring to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.246.91.162 (talk) 21:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Why the hell does a mini-biography of this person appear in the notes to Anscombe's life, together with a link to a scholarship fund set up by his family? That's a kind of piracy, I would say. Person in question appears to have been a scholar of some kind, but not of any particular note, and the purpose of an encyclopedia is NOT to biographize every possible person, surely, only those who have achieved some fame. Hijab's one claim to fame is he went to classes, some days, briefly, with Anscombe. But so what? I am going to delete both the note and the reference within the biography. 20:29, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Ideally an article about a living person should be illustrated with a photograph, not a drawing. If you could start an account and replace the article's current illustration with a photograph of Anscombe, that would be helpful. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I've fixed the content. It was changed in a drive-by IP edit, which retained the New York Times source describing her as "British", and then your correction of it was reverted for unclear reasons (I would guess because your edit summary mentioned what you thought, rather than what sources say). --Andreas Philopater (talk) 10:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should Anscombe be called `British' or `English'? 

message: I've added in blbiography a 1964 https://academic.oup.com/aristoteliansupp/article/38/1/69/1779592?searchresult=1 free paper] of Miss Anscombe published by the Artistotelian Society, in which the author affirms the transubstantion as a natural chemical process which happens salva substantia, is thought not to be a miracle but a reversible transformation capable of being scientifically explained, and thus controlled and reproduced with no need of the previous work of God as well as of any Eucharistic or other form of religious rite. 
Anscombe cllas it with the term "transreification" that can open to a metaphysical atomism:
Even if she is believed to be belonged to the analytical Thomism, her position on a key-concept such as the transubstantion is totally out of the legittimate domain Catholic faith. It's not a WP:original research but a concern yet not developed by the WP article. Hope somone helps.Ciccio81ge (talk) 10:36, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , that article is in two parts: Anscombe's paper and Körner's response. You're quoting Körner and attributing his views to Anscombe. You're also ignoring the weight of unless acknowledged as a miracle. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
