Foucault
Thanks for your clean up of the Discipline and Punish section on the Foucault page and adding the Panopticon image. That section is now much better! --Panopticon 01:05, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Ditto - that's some nice work--XmarkX 05:13, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the encouragement! It's a very good article, and I hope to see it featured. -- Rbellin|Talk 16:21, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Cantos
Hi. Glad to see that you think the recent additions improve the article. I may add some more on the critical tradition, but the article is already so long that I'm reluctant to expand it too much. If you have the time, you might look at List of cultural references in The Cantos. Filiocht 09:05, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
Lukacs
Thanks for the thanks! I think the troll is likely to be back with more anti-Lukacs NPOV. The persecution of Bibo needs to be written up, but Lukacs was very clearly under discipline during that period. Its like saying that Trotsky was responsible for the Great Purge, just because you hate Trotsky for his real failings. Fifelfoo 00:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Revertion of Behavioural sciences
Give academic reasons (not personal opinion of academic boosterism) for revertion of behavioural sciences else accept with honour that your conception of the categories of sciences is not accurate. Listing appropriate categories of sciences is not academic boosterism. Besides if you think otherwise then give references and quotations from journals that state otherwise.

Notpolicy
There was no discussion held on this template, it was simply inserted by what's-his-name on grounds of being bold. It does have some point, because, for instance, some user has been falsely claiming Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/schools to be policy. But that doesn't necessarily mean those four templates are a good idea. Radiant_* 21:23, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
why are you editing my talk page? --Lantog 05:07, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
thank you for the advice --Lantog 05:39, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Newton: Nice Copy, Editorial Overreach
The "unsourced rumor" you presumptuously removed from the Newton page is no less "unsourced" than the rest of the section - as if that matters. Just because it relates to interpersonal politics does not make it less interesting or useful. Indeed, the very human foibles behind the "technical" decisions are illuminating and part of our shared history. The elliptical style is intended to preserve people's feelings and reputations; the actual event was more closely perceived by the author and, yes, names could be named. I wonder what gives you such authoritative editorial command over events you were not close to? Or were you?
I'll leave it to you to replace the knowledge you saw fit to obliterate. But thanks for the good copy pass.

- I appreciate that you contributed what I found an interesting story, and possibly an insider's account, of the death of the Newton project; however, Wikipedia's policies on citation and against original research prohibit us from publishing "new" knowledge or accounts of this sort, however interesting they may be. In fact, what remains of that section still strikes me as inappropriately unsourced, as you note. I'd very much encourage anyone with such interesting inside knowledge of computing history to publish their stories through other channels, in order that Wikipedia can cite them. Apologies if this seemed "presumptuous," but then that's how Wikipedia works: we are all editors of each other's work. -- Rbellin|Talk 06:36, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Just letting you know about Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/HYP (universities) 2. If you have an opinion, please vote. —Lowellian (talk) 23:46, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

In the discussion you wrote of the article that it seemed to you "that there's a need for it to exist in some form". It now exists, having been split in twain, in a different form. Please re-visit the discussion. Uncle G 04:44, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)
Obey Giant edit
I don't quite understand why you removed the Obey Giant link I put in the phenomenology article. It is relevant to the article as it is an example of it. I believe people might be interested to read about some examples or experiments in phenomenology. Please respond in some way otherwise I will revert your change in 7 days. Bubbleboys 03:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I see what you mean. However, I put the link in the See Also section as the Obey Giant campaign, if you can call it that, is an experiment in phenomenology. Albeit, it's up in the air how closely related phenomenology is to Obey Giant, I felt that people might be interested to know that Obey Giant was an experiment in phenomenology. I really feel that putting the link in the See Also section is a good course of action. I think I'd be pretty interested to read more on "Obey Giant", a link in the See Also section. Response?

Thanks
Thanks for the support on Restoration literature. If you want to grab any of the big sections of English literature, by all means do. Rest. lit. liked to kill me, and now Augustan literature is even more daunting for me. I'm an Augustan specialist, whereas my dissertation field was a Restoration poet, so I had a better ability to summarize an area like Restoration, about which I know some, than I do now to summarize Augustan, about which I know too much. (How on earth does Obey Giant end up in phenomenology? Never mind. "Phenomenology" is one of those terms that seems to mean everything from Hegel to Heidegger, and my head already hurts enough without trying to get that topic straight.)
