Classics articles

Perhaps what we can do, to get the classics articles approved, is to do some recruiting from classics mailing lists? There is one very big classics group, I forget what it is. --Larry Sanger 21:45, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

If this will serve a general purpose too, it would be fine with me. But no rush just for a few small articles. :-) —Arne Eickenberg 03:01, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Arne, would you kindly see my note on the image page?  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 21:08, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

I added two links to the image's talk page, one commenting on the GFDL release of the image library by directmedia, the publisher of the printed offline-Wikipedia (see also here, the other one with a footnote mentioning the GFDL status. —Arne Eickenberg 21:50, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Nicene Creed

Hello Arne,

You replaced "The original version promulgated at that time (from Epistola Eusebii, circa 350 A.D.)"

With

"The second version promulgated at that time (from Epistola Eusebii, circa AD 350)"

Do you have a source? --Thomas Simmons 00:52, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

Just saw the revert. LOL Never mind. --Thomas Simmons 00:54, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

And the Crux Orthodoxa in the Orthodox article, very nice.--Thomas Simmons 00:59, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

I know it's a bit insular :-) , and I don't want to sound exclusionary, but this article seems to be about etymology more than anything else. Modern linguistics is radically different from pre-1950s study. Today, it's more about the study of patterns in language,and how these are represented in the mind, rather than the history of words.

Also, the problem here is that we don't have enough workgroups to distinguish the modern social science of linguistics from language study generally. And I realise you might be thinking about the Arne (name) article. But I think that lots of workgroups can cover language generally, rather than linguistics.
