Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

Comments[edit]

I don't see how this article is less "formal" in "tone" than any other article in Wikipedia. The comment that its tone isn't formal seems grossly POV, and it frankly makes me want to never contribute to Wikipedia again.

I have removed the {tone} tag from the article. The current article is no more informal than most articles on Wikipedia. Unless the one who tagged it can defend the tag and specify exactly how it is informal, I see no reason to keep it so tagged....unless of course we should similarly tag thousands of other similarly "informal" articles.

Removed "Unreferenced" Tag[edit]

According to the tag, the article "does not cite any references or sources". In fact, the article cites the writings of Plato, Aeschines Socraticus, Xenophon, and Diogenes Laertius. These surely are sources, by any reasonable standard. The reader, of course, is perfectly free to check the references that are given.Isokrates 20:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating[edit]

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as stub, and the rating on other projects was brought up to Stub class. BetacommandBot 03:46, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Works[edit]

"...[Laertius] also states that according to Sosicrates of Rhodes, Aristippus never wrote anything."

This is a misinterpretation of Laertius; actually, he states that according to Sosicrates, Aristippus didn't write any of six specific books of essays otherwise attributed to him. Laertius makes clear that Sosicrates isn't disputing the whole of Aristippus' bibliography, but a small subset. 24.62.224.22 (talk) 09:59, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
