Talk:Baltasar Gracián

message: Well, ingfenio is not a word in spanish, so I guess that was a typo and was meant to be ingenio. Drini 05:01, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Typo

message: Translation is pretty much complete, except:
* pasan a la Corte: is this just "passed through the Royal Court", or something more specific?
: Yes, they join the court (kings, counts and all that stuff) Drini 02:08, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: State of translation

message: "This article has been translated, and needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency" from the top message. Well, I'm fluent in both languages, need some advice?
I was also wondering if Saragosa shouldn't be Zaragoza (that's the name of the Spain city, I think). Also, about the gilipollas word, can't it be omitted at all? after all, that remark isn't a very esential one. And perhaps we're trying too hard to get a literal translation when perhaps a little rephrasing can make things a lot easier 02:09, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have specific info on Ticknor's and/or other criticisms of Gracián? --Head of the Caligula Appreciation Society 07:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't say you are wrong, but I'm surprised. Its mentioned at http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/gracian.htm. That's usually a well-researched site. - Jmabel | Talk 06:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticisms

message: Clearly should be merged into the generally better article at Baltasar Gracián. 
Some of what is here ("He has been excessively praised by Schopenhauer…) is obviously very POV. It might be worth preserving specifically attributed to the 1911 EB, but in this case I don't think so: all it illustrates is the prejudices of the English-language world 100 years ago, not much about its subject. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:18, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
::::Encyc. Brit. 1911 thinks that Gracian was "misled." Isn't that POV?Lestrade 00:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * I don't have clear context on that but we can quote and cite EB's POV remarks; they just shouldn't end up in the article's narrative voice. - Jmabel | Talk 21:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Clearly.  But the article should probably be here and the redirect there. KSchutte 04:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: In the first paragraph of the "biography" section Zaragoza was recently changed to Tarazona. No citation was given. I don't know the facts. Given that there is apparently disagreement, would someone please cite? -- Jmabel | Talk 02:59, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This has now been reverted, still without citation. The comment says, "Revert possible suspiscious changes by a known vandal". I don't see the basis for the "known vandal" charge. Exactly two edits have ever been made from that IP address; the other was vandalism, but with a sample so small we have no particular reason to believe it was the same editor. Citation would still be very much in order. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In the Works section, is that supposed to be Lorenzo Gracin or Lorenzo Gracian?66.82.9.80 01:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, there seems to be some semantic issues Gautam  16:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
