[edit] Front page image
Hi - I've uploaded the front page of my copy, but it's from 1933 - the original would be better. There are plenty out there, but are any of the images free? - Gobeirne 07:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Found one, and have changed the image accordingly. I've also made a greyscale version if anyone prefers it... - Gobeirne 09:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Verbally/Orally
This is my first edit, but please change "Milton had no intention of delivering his speech verbally" to "Milton had no intention of delivering his speech orally." The former sentence implies he would forgo the use of words (draw pictures?), but I think the intention is to say he would not speak the text of his speech. Recall: verbally→with words (via any media), orally→with speech. 131.252.222.195 15:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Tim
- Hi Tim, welcome aboard! Be bold and just hit the edit button on the article's page. If you plan to make more changes, you might want to consider creating an account, which has numerous benefits. - Gobeirne 18:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Context
This section doesn't look like part of an encyclopedia. While the opinions in that section may be valid, do they abide by NPOV and all that? The known facts of the Areopagitica should be enough. How people do or do not intepret it or use it is a bit of a stretch. There is no question about "misusing" Milton. Maybe misintepret, but intepretation of any text is up to the reader, and not to be defined by an encyclopedia. Oderic (talk) 10:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
