Talk:Francisco Suárez

message: Suárez is definitely important within the history of philosophy, but to call him the greatest scholastic philosopher after Aquinas seems a bit of a stretch; surely John Duns Scotus or William of Ockham are worthier of that honorific.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I just edited the page to change "god" to "God".  The sentence in which the word is used includes "argued Suarez", and certainly he would have used "God".  If the use of the word implied some position on the question of whether God actually exists, there might be a more debatable issue.  Given that it is merely reflecting Suarez's own usage, it seems to me anachronistic and ideological to use "god".

thread_title:  god or God 

message: This passage is a little confusing (I've italicized the problem areas.):
"He held (along with earlier scholastics) that essence and existence are the same in the case of God (see ontological argument), but disagreed with Aquinas and others that the essence and existence of finite beings are really distinct. He argued that in fact they’re merely conceptually distinct; rather than being able to exist separately, they are conceivable separately. That is, rather than being logically separable, existence and essence are epistemically separable."
The beginning is alright, but the end is a little troublesome.
# rather than being able to exist separately... Essence existing separately from existence seems like an odd notion. Indeed, existence existing is odd too. I know Suarez maintains that there is no real distinction between essence and existence, only a conceptual one, but saying this distinction doesn't "exist" obfuscates the matter. Maybe we should avoid the use of the word exist here, since it has a rather technical meaning in Scholasticism.
# rather than being logically separable, existence and essence are epistemically separable It's hard to understand what the author is getting at in this distinction because of many different notions of epistemology and logic that have been held over the centuries. In fact, logic has been considered a field of epistemology at times. Perhaps this should be rephrased in less weighty terms. BrokenToilet 20:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kat Fletcher

message: I dont understand the opening line:
"Kat Fletcher is the current president of the UK National Union of Students, the first to stand on a united left slate on politics clearly to the left of Labour Students, who have held the position for most of the past twenty years."
Are you saying she's "to the left" of Mandy Telford? Is that possible? 199.172.169.17 07:45, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Opening line

message: It is not widely accepted that Kat Fletcher has moved to the right - indeed only one political organisation has suggested this - ENS.
I have therefore amended this and referred to the recent BBC Question Time programme where she was far from right wing and spent half the show slagging off the Tories.
Thanks
'Slagging off the Tories' does not qualify somebody as being left wing.
Being a member of a political party which introduced tuition fees, declared war upon Iraq, is privatising publicly owned utilities and services, and refuses to repeal the anti-union laws does qualify somebody as being right wing. Lindsay40k 17:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Christianity/Archive 8

message: As I read the article it states that Christianity is presented ususally as three main groups.  This "fact" should be referenced.  Also, if it is "usually" presented as such, what are the exceptions and why?  This seems to be POV and desirous of those who wish to appeal to the traditional Christianity, which is too narrow for the title of this article.
Further, the article refers to restorationist beliefs, but then leaves out both The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Jehovah Witnesses.  When you read the linked article, the restorationist movement includes them.  I see no need to separate them.  It unnecessarily chops up the article creating a redundancy.  
K, you stated above you still feel it necessary in a generic article about Christianity to label some self-professed Christian groups as non-Christian because they do not follow creeds created 300 years after the time of Christ.  I humbly disagree and believe that that is POV standard for a generic article.  Please understand, that I don't disagree with position.  Readers may read articles on both JW's and Mormons where it clearly states they are viewed as non-Christian and why in their respective articles.  However, this is a generic article.  In the eyes of a Buddist, a Sikh, or any other non-Christian, it would and does not make sense for any group that follows Christ to be labeled non-Christian.  As the article clearly states:  "A more comprehensive overview would show more complicated relationships among denominations and traditions", if the objective is to have less comprehensive article, there is no need to single out specific groups.  Doing so opens the door for a necessary explanation as to why the label applies and that is an article in itself and not the intent of the article.  If we are going to keep it less comprehensive, then we will keep it less comprehensive for everyone.  Thoughts? Storm Rider 06:54, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Not a problem, but it will only stay if you are prepared to list all groups within Prostantism that are considered heretical.  Conversely, you are going to have to explain why it is labeled non-Christian by the traditionalist-Christian.  I am reverting until it we have handled the issue on the discussion page, which I think is typical WIKI policy and the norm on disputed language. You can't ignore the POV of your position and simply stating does your opinion is not satisfactory.  Also, your statements will need to be documented and referenced by other official church sites; otherwise it is just opinion and thus POV.  Storm Rider 07:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange

message: This article talked (and still does to an extent) mainly about technology. Hardly what you'd expect for a general article on an exchange. The name is of course now redundant - LIFFE as such doesn't exist anymore. Shouldn't this be moved to Euronext.liffe? There is no entry there yet. There's a case to be made to keep this entry seperate, but then it should only talk about LIFFE during its years of existence, i.e. until 2002. Also, what is needed is a bit more information about the market, its competitors (as an exchange, NOT as a software house), etc. DocendoDiscimus 09:49, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: hi, I agree, it's best to have two pages. In fact, Euronext.liffe consists not just of LIFFE, but also of the derivative activities of the other constituent exchanges. Btw, I'm using Euronext's own spelling of Euronext.liffe (i.e. lower case liffe - must have been politics that they decided on that..). You're right re the technology. It should definitely stay, though when I first looked at it it looked like an ad written by someone who had programmed LIFFE CONNECT... I'll create the Euronext.liffe page later. But I think then others will have to take over from here, i.e. on LIFFE's effects on Global markets, etc. Thanks for the comments! DocendoDiscimus 20:08, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

1. It has nothing to do with Mr Wispelwey's personal life.
2. It is unsubstantiated and unreferenced. 
3. I have searched for "Wispelwey" under the ABC's website (abc.net.au) and find he is consistently referred to as Dutch. I could find no reference to claims that he is Australian. 
I have no idea which author included this silly, dubious claim but it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. It's the sort of wild claim I would expect to see perhaps in something like a Murdoch publication but not in Wikipedia.
