Talk:English Dissenters

message: I would think that an article on a religious sect would mention if they petered out, transfiormed into another sect still around today, etc. Nothing of that sort here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.136.25.72 (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: So What Happened to Them?

message: I have removed Levellers because they were not "English Dissenters were English Christians who separated from the Church of England.", they were a group which consisted of many English Dissenter groups and others who believed in a political revolution, not a religious one. It would be like including the Labour party in such a list because many of the founders were from religious groups like the Methodists. --PBS (talk) 23:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone write something about the history of their persecution, and its repeal, such as Charles James Fox's attempts to repeal the Test Acts?

message: IMO these two things are so closely intertwined, that its pointless to have two articles, when we can have one thorough centralised article on the topic. They are interchangeable terms. I just wanted to see if anybody would "dissent" (pun intended) from the merge first? - Yorkshirian (talk) 14:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct procedure is to put a merge template on the page itself. See Help:Merging. BrainyBabe (talk) 07:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge nonconformist and dissenter

message: The link to the 16th century Dutch mystic Hendrik Niclaes currently redirects to the 20th century entrepreneur Henry Nicholas (also true of his link in the Wikipedia article "List of Christian Mystics); has the information about the mystic been deleted?  Noted that his followers "would not discuss their ideas and opinions with outsiders and sought to remain undetected by ordinary members of society"; are they still around, and still seeing to it that the ideas of Hendrik Niclaes remain a secret?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.30.173.41 (talk) 18:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The following description:
"the term Anabaptist was often used to describe sects who seemed to hold or practiced believers baptism or baptism by immersion by their opponents."
makes no sense.  I'd edit it, but I honestly don't know what it's trying to say!  It looks like part of the sentence was cut out.  It should be fixed, but, barring that, it should be removed, as it detracts from the rest of the article.

replies: text: That text goes all the way back to the first revision of British Anabaptism, which I incorporated here.  I have no idea what it ought to say :-( RossPatterson (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: RossPatterson When you copied text from other articles as you did here at  17:23, 29 May 2011, you ought to try to meet the minimum requirements of the WP:Copying within Wikipedia which says "" your editorial comment "" does not meet that minimum requirement. Also if you copy text from an article which has short citations make sure that you copy over the long citation (usually in the references section) which was not done for the text copied from the Diggers article. -- PBS (talk) 17:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I am removing the section Diggers because they were a political dissenters and not a religious dissenters, although many of them may have also been individually members of a religious dissenters grouping. For example William Everard (one of their leaders) went on to be a Ranter. -- PBS (talk) 17:46, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
