Template talk:Humanism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feel free to improve this template mercilessly. Antihumanism and Neo-humanism are in such bad shape that I wouldn't care if someonen decided to remove them from the template, for example. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 04:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Somehow, a double small tag was being generated around the first item in the second indentation level. It seems to be fixed by adding an explicit closing tag on the preceding item.

Removed antihumanism as suggested above. --Transhumanist 00:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Part of... series, ... Portal

The template stated at top 'Part of the Politics series on Humanism', and 'Politics Portal' at the end. Quote from the latter's header (with my emphasis in italics):

"Politics is the process and method of gaining or maintaining support for public or common action: the conduct of decision-making for groups. (...). Political science is the field devoted to studying political behavior and examining the acquisition and application of power, or the ability to impose one's will on another."

There is no such 'Politics' flag for religions, thus the above makes flagging Humanism as political highly POV. Though I first suspected vandalism, committing the bottom line on 2006-04-30 20:55 (UTC) seems to have been caused by thinking from a personal interest as User:Electionworld's page shows. I'm surprised it remained for more than three months. Later on, User:Silence beautifully and usefully redesigned the template and obviously in good faith put the 'Part of...' on top. Far more suitable is the term 'Philosophy' and the Philosophy Portal. — SomeHuman 2006-08-11 17:40 (UTC)

[edit] Secular humanism

Why isn't secular humanism included in the Humanism nav box? Christian humanism is included, so secular humanism's exclusion seems awkward. --Tjss(Talk) 00:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I see on your user page, that you focus on articles related to politics, foreign policy, international law, and the United Nations. Perhaps you should now focus your eyes. 'Secular humanism' is at the top, just underneath the Happy Human figure. Several of the titles in the coloured baulks are indeed links, including 'Humanism' in the baulk above the figure. ;-) — SomeHuman 20 Sep 2006 23:35 (UTC)

[edit] Transhumanism

Why is this included in the template? It's related by name alone, focusing on human technological augmentation rather than a philosophy. If no one minds, I'll remove this in 10 days. 144.32.196.3 19:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
