Talk:Civic virtue

message: I don't agree that the two subjects are the same thing, though there clearly is some overlap.  More importantly, the merge tag was put on the two articles on 2 February and the redirect (the merger) was done a day later - without any discussion whatsoever that I can see (if there was any discussion at Talk:Incivility, that's gone now).  
I wouldn't be so concerned about this if WP:CIVIL, a key Wikipedia guideline, didn't use the word "incivility" without really defining it, making an article about that word have a lot more important, I think.  In any case, I don't believe it would hurt anything to keep the discussion (or possibility thereof) open for a week or so before closing out the matter.  -- John Broughton   (☎☎) 16:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree with the merge. Civic virtue is a broader understanding of one's long term relationship and responsibility with society.  Incivility is a temporary impoliteness. Although there may be overlap, they are two separate ideas. --Knulclunk 05:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Don't merge – <There is a deep contrast between the words and meanings of the terms civility and incivility, and should remain separate for the benefit of the Wikipedia readers. That would be like saying that justice and injustice are the same. As you will see, even they have separate pages for their definitions, because they are unique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injustice> Blippincott (talk) 18:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  is PC mistaken for civility? 

message: I reverted to an older version - What happened to this article? For months it has been in a state of disrepair. The introduction was composed of a bunch of sloppily-formatted, nonsensical sentence fragments. "Civics for the success of the community" sounds like a partisan political group. It isn't a sentence by itself - it's merely the subject. Fuzzform (talk) 20:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More recent versions of article 

message: Like the many above who opposed the old redirect, the article confuses two distinct topics, "Civic virtue" and "civility". I propose either that "civility" be made its own article, taking material from this one, or that any unique stuff not related to civic virtue be put in the appropriate articles (e.g. etiquitte). The talk above all seems to support it. Is there any opposition to this? Morgan Riley (talk)

replies: text: It might make sense to merge it to Incivility.  I don't think we need one article on civility and another on its direct opposite.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Op47, the quotes, incivility, and bibliography all refer to civility, not civic virtue, which is a distinct and rather unrelated concept. That's what I am referring to. Morgan Riley (talk) 16:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Morgan Riley, Incivility is already a separate article. If you think the summary that is here should not be here then by all means remove it. It is not justification for splitting this article. The quotes and bibliography can't be spun off to make a new article. They are just irrelevant quotes (which you can remove if you require, as suggested above). If an article on civility could be split from this article then I would have done it rather than write the comment above. If you have additional material that is not mentioned here then it would be better to just create the article. Just to clarify, I am not against your suggestion to move the irrelevant info to a more appropriate article. Hope this helps. Op47 (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
