Talk:Peter Waldo

message: Is it possible to remove the word "radical" from the description of Peter Waldo?  It's a bit judgemental to say the least, and serves no purpose in describing the man or his message, whatever it may have been; and if not much is know about what his message was, then calling it "radical" is not useful at all.Bob em 13:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proven%C3%A7al. The page has "provençal" but if it's a proper name of a language, (could someone check if it's referring to the proper "Provençal"), then shouldn't it be capitalized?tooMuchData 18:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This is most probably a misspelling of the name of the city of Lyon. The spelling can be found in a few secondary sources  ("Councils of Lyons"/"First Council of Lyons"/"The Poor Men of Lyons", etc.) but there is no evidence that "Lyons" could be a legitimate historical alternate to the old and official city name, i.e. Lyon. Most likely "Lyons" is a simple misspelling that is perpetuating itself. My advice is to correct it.
- the Wikipedia article on Lyon says, "rarely spelled in English as Lyons" - I changed Lyons to Lyon in the article except where referring to the Poor Men of Lyons as this usage is supported in the references - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 16:32, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

message: The reference to selling women in New York does not appear in the source cited, and is an impossibility since Waldo lived long before New York existed. I will remove the sentence. Innerkip (talk) 16:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some suggestion that the name 'Peter' only appears in sources several hundred years after Valdes's death, and as such it's a little unclear that this was actually his name. Since it's widely recognised, the name should still appear in the introduction, but it does seem a stretch to put it on the title of the page itself. Wyndlake (talk) 12:57, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Took out French(?) translation of Peter Waldo's name lest we have to also list his Lyonese, Italian, Latin translations of his name and so forth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.65.142.56 (talk) 05:03, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

message: No excuse not to mention it in this article - there is enough written historical stuff out about the aforesaid.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.57.38 (talk) 10:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Many in churchdom believe the etymology of the Waldesians goes back to their valleys and not hundreds of years later after this misterious Waldo 

message: The Waldensians were not all merged into mainstream Protestant groups. Some remain separate. This should be noted.Royalcourtier (talk) 21:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
