[edit] What about the obvious?

What about 'sage' as is a 'wise person' - i.e. the primary meaning of the word on which all of those other references listed (except the plant) come from? Why is there no mention of it in this page? In Stoicism, for example, the Sage is something akin to a Buddha or enlightened one (although there are important differences).--Daniel 05:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The first item under the 'Other' section currently states: "A profound philosopher distinguished for wisdom and sound judgment". But I agree, it should probably be straight in the beginning, as most other entries are derived from that meaning. -- intgr 17:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Obvious, like the colour 'sage'? -- Sy / (talk) 15:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophical Sage

I agree with the above comments. While sorting out disambiguation links i've noticed half of the links are from pages referring to this meaning of the word. Philosophy doesn't seem to do it justice. Perhaps we could do with a Sage (Philosophy) page?... extraordinary 13:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sage Plant linked with Wise Sage

I can't remember a source, But I've read in an Occult book somewhere that the Herb Sage was so named for being renowned by learned Sages for it's healing effects? 59.101.30.249 (talk) 09:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Way too many entries

This article greatly deviates from Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Lacking any objections in the next few days, I'll bring it into conformance.--Curtis Clark (talk) 03:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Why wait? Be bold; in my opinion there is nothing to lose. -- intgr [talk] 05:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Done.--Curtis Clark (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
