I removed the external link to image of Simeon Stylites by George Lamb. The user site at the URL seems to no longer exist. --Intelligence3 11:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of Weasel Words, and POV, in this article (for example: "The duration and severity of the fasts practiced almost defy belief, but the evidence is overwhelming, and the general correctness of the preserved accounts is hardly disputed.")... the article does not go on to give examples or references! 87.236.134.146 (talk) 10:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. The first two sentences should be ditched. I'll try to clean up this article. Toitoine (talk) 05:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

It appears that parts of this article were lifted from here: http://www.stnicholas-billings.org/Library/References/dictionary.htm Clearly not a NPOV. I'll delete these copied sentences. Toitoine (talk) 05:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
