Talk:Golden Age of Freethought

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Origin of term ‘freethought’?

Can anyone date the first use of this term. Ted Porter almost suggests that Karl Pearson invented it – see p.109 of ISBN 0691114455) “Despite frequent appeals and invitations, he (KP) was too strong-willed and idiosyncratic to join anyone else’s movement. Instead he definied his own, which he called “freethought.” TPKP109

This page was created by someone moving the Wikipedia:Sandbox here, thus creating an article with an enormous and irrelevant history. Recreated from scratch to drop all the old history. The author of the current page was User:Writer@Large, not Curps.

It should also be noted that this page has no incoming links.

OK, that didn't work. This page still has all its old history, no doubt taking up an enormous amount of storage space. The true history of this page is no more than the last few revisions by Writer@Large.

Curps 20:06, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)


Some admin has now truncated the history, thanks.

I was the one who erroneously copied the Sandbox here. It was unintentional, and I didn't mean to copy the entire history, etc., over. Hopefully, I've learned my lesson and I won't make the same mistake in the future.  :)

Don't worry about it - it happens several times per month. The software really should have an option to allow us to "pin" a page so that no-one can move it, but it doesn't (yet). Some folks make up a sandbox in their own userspace, edit the article there, and then move it to its proper place in the main encyclopedia namespace. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:03, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
