Talk:Homo unius libri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
Homo unius libri was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: October 2, 2006 |
Really? Where did Thomas Aquinas use this phrase? (Anonymously contributed by User:82.93.10.238 )
- A preface to a call of "Original Research" no doubt. The Argument from Ignorance—"I've never heard this"—though so often employed at Wikipedia, is not a strong one. --Wetman 22:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- A requirement for sourcing is completely acceptable, however, and attacking those who request that a subject be documented is frowned upon. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Requirements for sourcing commonplaces are all too often indulged in at Wikipedia by those who have not bothered to google. I bothered to google and have improved the article not the talkpage. Fair enough? --=Wetman 22:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation?
The article needs an elegant English translation of the Lope de Vega quote. Is anyone familiar enough with Dr. Taylor to recognize the context of Southey's quote? Holy Living?-- Wetman 02:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA failed
This article appears more like a list of the quotations of “Homo unius libri”. It lacks the structure of an article. In that regard, it fails criterion 1. As mentioned in the criterion, the article should have “a logical structure, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects”. See Guide to layout which is basically a template toward the creation of an article. Make sure of the conformance to the other GA criteria before renominating the article. Good luck.

[edit] Of note
It has been mentionned here and there that Hitler and Chairman Mao both wrote one famous book, "Mein Kampf" and "Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong". It is interesting to consider the possibility that Aquinas was referring to the type of person motivated to write only one book, as history has shown someone likely to be single minded in the extreme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.78.220 (talk) 17:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
