Christian Misrepresentation

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The section referencing influence on Christianity claims both systems assert fundamental human depravity. That isn't true of Stoicism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C0:980:E520:949E:36AD:30D4:9503 (talk) 20:18, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Acceptance of Anaxagoras' claim

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As a subtopic in the categories section, there is a claim that "stoics accept the anaxagoras notion that when an object becomes red, it is because an universal redness has entered the body". I would doubt that claim considering that stoics themselves deny the existence of most universals as bodies (as a warning, i am not a stoic expert, so maybe i'm wrong in this claim, but it seems contradictory). Also, the claim is unlinked, so I would appreciate if someone links it to the direct source (which I couldn't find too, since the main sources never say this, though I couldn't read all the sources so maybe the source is there somewhere. Any way, it would be nice to link it). 181.97.174.141 (talk) 16:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

GA concerns

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

There is uncited text throughout the article.
There are sources listed in "Further reading" that are not used as inline citations. These should be used as-such or removed.

Is anyone willing to fix up this article, or should it be nominated to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 08:48, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is uncited text in the article, including entire paragraphs. There are several sources listed in "Further reading" and some sections that are only one paragraph long: this makes me think that the article might not cover all major aspects of the topic, but would appreciate if a subject-matter expert can comment on that concern.
