Suggestions;

  • The best title: De Doctrina Christiana (Milton), since this is the title of the ms.
  • "currently two translations of the work; Charles R. Sumner's and John Carey's." Put each title, place and date in separate footnotes.
  • "The only edition of Christian Doctrine" The only manuscript. "Edition" in this context would signify a printed edition.
  • "London's Old State Paper Office" Unidentifiable under this name.
  • "Secretary of Foreign Tongues" to the Council of State
  • "theological "tracate"" Possibly so in original. "Tractate" intended.
  • "in 1677 he was pressured by the British government" In 1677 there was only an English government and a Scottish one.
  • "there is a minority line of criticism that seeks" A minority line is unlikely to be doing the seeking.
  • "he believed that there was a "progress" to relying on the Bible completely." We understand that Milton has used "progress" in some context concerning scriptural authority, but no inmformation is transferred.

These points needn't be debated: they can be edited in or ignored. --Wetman (talk) 23:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Help!

This is a plea for advice on how to prevent this article from continuing to show up on my watchlist. I have already removed the article -- under its current title -- from my watchlist ; but, apparently because I edited the article when it was under a former title (with different capitalization), it keeps showing up in, and dominating displays of, changes to articles on my watchlist.

One other factor may have complicated things. I was in the process of fixing some spelling mistakes when someone else changed the name of the article "underfoot" as it were. When I tried to save the spelling fixes, the attempt failed, reporting that someone else had been editing "underfoot" (can't remember if that was the exact word used).

I can't access the article under the name I edited it under, because a redirection forces display of the article under the new name. At least, I don't know how to access it under the old name.

Any advice or help in fixing this will be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Publius3 (talkcontribs) 03:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
