Old talk[edit]

Christmas trees are only a hundred years old? That wasn't my impression. -- April

Moved this from the article:

Mention traditionalism in Roman Catholic church here.

It's a good suggestion. The Eastern Orthodox Church distinguishes between Holy Tradition and mere traditions; this may or may not be the place to explore that. I expect that the Roman Catholic Church does as well. Wesley 15:07, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Traditionalism doctrine[edit]

I have added a couple of sentences about the Roman Catholic Church's Traditionalism doctrine, as I understand it. PatrickDunfordNZ 10:16, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

What is Custom[edit]

A hobitual practice or dealing in thing to made

ambiguous?[edit]

Would this page be able to change to a disambiguation page? I added the bit up top about seeing other uses of the word 'tradition'. Is there any way to change it so that it is easier for users who are searching for other uses to directly end up on the disambiguation page?

This citation format is unacceptable. You either provide direct link or if online resources don't have it, you specify the author e.g.

Rejection of tradition[edit]

I think this section need work. It's too focused on an interpretation of one particular philosopher's views and it is poorly written. Matt2h (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's this "Traditions and stylings of the mannerism"?[edit]

Someone recently tried to remove the section titled ("Traditions and stylings of the mannerism") (here). I've restored the section, because the removal was without explanation. But I have to admit, I have some doubts on whether the section belongs at all. So I'm starting this discussion topic to get some opinions on it; maybe we can find a consensus on what to do about it. My main concern is that much of it is OR-ey, little of it is sourced, and none of it gives me any idea what the title "Traditions and stylings of the mannerism" is getting at. -- Why Not A Duck 20:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Morphology & Origins[edit]

upon reading this wiki a few months ago, I noticed a lack of information on the web concerning the morphology of the accusative form of traditio. I have tried my best to provide an accurate breakdown of the word traditionem, but must admit, other than a keen interest in linguistics, I have no formal background. Furthermore, as I have already stated, there is NO INFORMATION ONLINE concerning the suffix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.218.85.222 (talk) 23:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts on organization

The three current section headings are:

  • Traditions and stylings of the mannerism - not sure what this is supposed to be, Mannerism being a fine arts style, while 'mannerism' as a type of behavior isn't "traditional"
  • Traditionalism - in the Roman Catholic church and "Radical Traditionalism"
  • Archaeology - related to Archaeological culture

So, we probably need sections on:

  • origins (broader than just "invented" traditions)
  • in areas of study (philosophy, social sciences, natural sciences, art, literature, etc.)
  • archaeology (linked to Archaeological culture)
  • religion - and we will want solid sources for this
  • crafts and trades
  • costume
  • "folk" ways
  • preservation efforts ("national treasures" in Japan, for example)

Just some suggestions, but if the sections are in place early on it will be easier for collaborators to work simultaneously on the article. -- Donald Albury 13:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! I added a GBooks link to the The Invention of tradition. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK[edit]

I've nominated the article to T:TDYK at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Tradition. I tried to include all ambassadors who made substantial edits; if I missed anybody (which is quite possible), my apologies - and please add yourself to the authors. The template seems to support only three authors? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:55, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

B-class[edit]

I wonder if our recent edits have not improved the article to B-class? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few more things that I am looking for sources to back up --Guerillero | My Talk 21:34, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It might also be good to use a consistent ref style; I think the Harvard style would be good here because some books are cited multiple times. However, the article currently uses both Harvard-style cites and repeating {{cite book}} templates with differing page numbers. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:55, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that ref standarization would be goodl. As I discussed with Guerillo on his talk page, I think Harvard style is good, provided we keep direct page links to Google Books, and keep the cite templates in "works cited" or a similar section. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A simplified citation format would be ideal, methinks. Also, think the cite templates should remain in a works cited, Sadads (talk) 22:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Form the looks of it everything checks out for B class. I am going to move it up. revert me if you have a problem.--Guerillero | My Talk 06:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dangerous conjecture[edit]

Whether they are documented fact or not does not decrease their value as cultural history and literature.

I'm imagining Jesus showing up, rather late in the day, according to the traditional lore of the Second Coming, and then patiently explaining that his resurrection never really happening way back when, it was always just a story, but a story mankind needed to believe at that time.

Apparently we already know that this would not "decrease the value" of the Biblical account of Jesus life as presently understood (in many different ways), though it would surely be a seismic body blow in 7000 other dimensions. — MaxEnt 01:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've taged the sentence with citation needed, b/c, doh, it needs to be attributed at minimum, as it is a statement of opinion. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:54, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
