Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Theaetetus (dialogue) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed.

If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You did the same thing to Plato. RJC ^Talk 01:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plato

Thank you for clarifying your intention in linking to that site on a number of pages. The site you linked to, however, was not the site that was hosting the texts. If you feel that the Stephanus pagination is important, please link directly to the site that hosts the appropriate format. The site you linked to was a clearinghouse which, so far as I can tell, hosting nothing itself except for a new translation of the Bible. RJC ^Talk 03:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Philo (copied from Shituf talk page)

The material about Philo does not mention shituf anywhere. If someone wants to present a reliable source that says that Philo spoke about shituf, that would be reasonable for this article. But without such a source, including Philo on the grounds that you think what he is addressing is the equivalent of shituf is original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia.

If you are unable to provide a rationale for this material being in the article, I will remove it on the basis of WP:OR. -LisaLiel (talk) 18:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that two days is a reasonable amount of time for you to come up with such sources. If you can't find any and you haven't removed the material yourself, I can help by removing it for you. If you put it back in, I won't engage in an edit war with you; instead, I'll report you for a violation of WP:OR. -LisaLiel (talk) 18:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Jimmy Wales? Tim (talk) 20:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that -- I just looked him up. Okay, now I really feel stupid. Both of you seem to be following his advice -- but I really have seen both yours and hers cited somewhere! And it's devilishly difficult to cite things that aren't active on the page. In any case, I understand your point. After looking at the article, it's still intact without either of your unreferenced sources.Tim (talk) 21:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
