Talk:Jules Breton

message: Reported in the "i" newspaper, "Caught&Social" section, UK, Wednesday 12th. February 2014. At the London premier of the film Monument Men, "...Bill Murray revealed that seeing Jules Breton's painting The Song Of The Lark as a young man stopped him from killing himself. "I think that gave me some sort of feeling that I too am a person, and I get another chance every day the sun comes up" said the 63-year old". 
Feel free to copy this to the article if you think it should be included. As the content of The Independent is very similar to the i newspaper, it may be in there as well. 92.24.180.203 (talk) 19:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  content 

message: The summary section right now is pretty bad. There are grammatical errors, inconsistent tenses, and redundant paragraphs. I would recommend removing the entirety of the last four paragraphs in the section, but I am not sure if that is too dramatic of an edit. I wanted some other feedback before doing so. 
Additionally, we should clarify what Enrique thought about his mother's departure. The first paragraph says "Lourdes promises Enrique she will return quickly," and suggests that Enrique talked to his mother multiple times on the phone in the eleven years they were separated. However, the fourth paragraph says that "she was not planning to come back soon," and that the family was unable to explain this to Enrique because he was too young. This may not necessarily be contradictory, but I find it a bit confusing. Did she lie to him when she left to make him feel better, or did he just misunderstand? Did she tell him on the phone that she was going to be back soon, or that she wasn't planning on coming home?  AlfonsoAnonymous (talk) 05:25, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Beyond My Ken, given your recent reverts of edits I conducted on this page (and Facing History and Ourselves, please see that Talk page as well), I have elected to begin a civil yet thorough discussion of some (in my view) obvious edits that could be made to both pages that would both bring the page up to better MOS standards (which I understand may not particularly interest you, fair enough) but would also improve the page itself.
Please see my sandbox for Enrique's Journey. I believe these edits address a number of problems with the page, namely an over-reliance on primary sources, maintenance tags (all but one of which have been removed), and content not directly relevant to the entry's subject (including a section dedicated to Sonia Nazario featuring content that would belong better on the Nazario page).

Talk:Epaminondas (children's story)

message: This article focusses on the 1907 version of the stories by Bryant, which does seem to have been pretty racist (I've not seen it, but googled a couple of illustrations - aweful!) But the stories themselves originate in the black community, and therefore can't be racist per se. I have the version by Eve Merriam, which is relatively harmless, though still by a white author. We need a rather more differentiating account here; and possibly the article should just be called "Epaminondas (folk tales)", with sections on original stories, the Bryant version, the Merriam version, etc. --Doric Loon (talk) 20:33, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Epistle of Eugnostos

message: I note that there are web editions of this work entitled "Epistle of Eugnostos," and that the work is structured in a way similar to an epistle in that it opens with a greeting, and identifies its audience. However, by calling it an "epistle" we are presuming that we know its genre and purpose, and there is no sense of consensus among scholars as to either. The source texts are NHC III, 4 and V, 1 and an additional fragment in Greek, BG 8502, 3. In his translation in the standard "Nag Hammadi Library," Douglas M. Parrott titles it "Eugnostos the Blessed" after its colophon and first line in III, 4. V, 1 is missing its opening pages and only one character remains of the colophon. But in his recent article "Scribal Intervention in the Titles of Nag Hammadi Codex V" (published via academia.edu), Julio Cesar Dias Chaves proposes that the version in V, 1 may have been titled "The Apocalypse of Eugnostos" since every other text in Codex V is headed this way. Parrott's translation combines parts of all three sources, and places "Eugnostos the Blessed" alongside "The Sophia of Jesus Christ" since the latter text derives rather heavily from the former.
I would humbly suggest that either "Eugnostos the Blessed," or simply "Eugnostos," would be a more appropriate heading for this article. And noting that it is a low importance article on the ChristianityWikiProject I'd like to comment that apart from its relationship to "The Sophia of Jesus Christ," "Eugnostos the Blessed" has no relevance to Christianity at all, being an early Sethian, or proto-Sethian text written no later than the first century.Pinikadia 18:32, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Epistle of the Corinthians to Paul

message: This article seems to alternate between suggesting that this epistle is genuine and forged. I do not know enough about the issue to correct it. I suspect that there may be a letter that scholars assume Paul was responding to in 1 Corinthians, which is not the one found in Acts of Paul. In this case, Acts of Paul's version may even be trying to pass itself off as this letter. However, if this is the case, the article should make it clear that it is not believed to be the actual letter. Also, Paul's response could not be both 1 Corinthians and 3 Corinthians, as this article seems to state.

Talk:Epistles (Plato)

message: With the exception of the seventh letter, these aren't really very notable works, whether or not Plato really wrote them (and he likely didn't...). They are also very short and there's been little criticism on any of them that really stands independent of the collection as a whole. As such, there's really not much to write on any of them that wouldn't just be a summary or a paraphrase of a work that is itself a very short paragraph. I'm going to merge them all back in except the Seventh Letter.  - car chasm (talk) 01:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, it seems like pretty much every classical scholar who is currently alive and qualified to comment rejects the authenticity of the other letters and even the Seventh, so other than the seventh it seems rather trivial to track who did or didn't think it was real, this is a page on the letters, not on the gullibility of 19th and early 20th century historians!
