Talk:Proverb
From Academic Kids
Why not hold the language specific proverbs by (or refer to) pages of the referring wikipedia projects?
e.g. German proverbs in German wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Sprichwörter)
This is open for debate. Logically it would be better but on the other hand
there should be some meeting point with a proverb equivalents.

I have moved the following statement from the main page to here until it gets clarified:
One may look at it as a science of the old times and primitive peoples even now.
First, I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. Can you elaborate?
Second, "primitive peoples" is not a very helpful term. If you mean a primary oral (or pre-literate) society, this is what you should say.
I still don't see how a list of proverbs constitutes an encyclopedia article, or why such lists should be in an encyclopedia. --LMS

- A list of proverbs could constitute an encyclopedia article if it is joined with explanations of worldview of the people that made the proverbs. Nikola 04:02, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Afghan proverbs missing.
Where are the Afghan proverbs, and a few other languages, which were there a few days ago?
