The article states: > They took their definition of Temperance from the Greek writer Xenophon: "moderation in all things healthful; total abstinence from > all things harmful." Thus the temperance approach to alcohol was defined as total abstinence.

This doesn't make sense. Could someone check this? Samrolken 13:28, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

What part doesn't make sense?

[edit] The Union Signal?

Why was the reference to the Union Signal removed? It's still very much published by the WCTU. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.236.216.253 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC+11 hours)

  • I don't know why the ref was removed, but I have reincluded the info--A Y Arktos 22:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Thanks.

[edit] Overlinked?

I visited this page in an attempt to help with Disambiguation link repair. In my view, the page is seriously overlinked -- see the Wikipedia Manual of Style on links at WP:MOS-L. Cutting the number of links down would help the article's readability immensely. -- Smatthewman 16:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticize my criticism if you want...

Okay, criticize me if you must, but I wonder why Christianity (being one of the most problematic insitutions of history) is not in-and-of-itself considered to be one of those "things harmful" which should be "abstained" from!!! Thus it's wrong to drink but it's okay to teach fundamentalism and everything else that goes along with it!?!?! That makes sense {sarcastic} !!!

First read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox. There are plenty of places online for you to engage in your simpering bigotry. This isn't one of them - take it elsewhere.
