What is a Talk page?--Micahbode 13:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Micah

It is where we address concerns about the articles, where we talk about the article. Lincher 00:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

May I suggest that this article could be listed under a Psychology project, history, particularly if the section on The Characters is expanded. ProfWhit (talk) 02:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Theophrastus and Judaism

Hello, I've read somewhere (but don't remember where and when) that Theophrastus was the first Greek philosopher who took any notice of Judaism and the Jewish Scriptures as they stood at the time. I wonder if this is true, and if his observations have survived? -- 85.182.121.209 15:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New material

I have fleshed out the article with pictures of plants and minerals plus some more discussion of his work on minerals. Much more could be done however, to describe the work of this pioneer. Peterlewis (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
