• diffhist Aristotle 17:41 +6 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Four causes: well, possibly, or this may be too drastic, as the NS part of the article is not overlong (let's think about it); main link goes first)

• diffhist Aristotle 16:27 −1,092 Psychastes talk contribs (→Four causes: i think this reads better as a direct description with less formal language. someone who is learning about the four causes for the first time needs a brief sentence and an example or two, not a fully rigorous exposition)

• diffhist m Aristotle 22:20 +31 Folkezoft talk contribs (Added 1 {{Bare URL PDF}} tag(s) using a script. For other recently-tagged pages with bare URLs, see Category:Articles with bare URLs for citations from May 2025 and Category:Articles with PDF format bare URLs for citations)
• diffhist m Pythagoras 18:19 +9 Demetrios1993 talk contribs (Minor cleanup)
• diffhist Aristotle 16:25 +944 Psychastes talk contribs (add discussion of ancient and medieval commentators, blend into existing discussions of hellenistic period, aristotelian corpus, and medieval byzantine. trim down the long discussion of aristotle's works, which was contradicting itself and also included a not-very relevant discussion of how papyrus rots)

• diffhist Pythagoras 23:32 −2 Deor talk contribs (→Life: clarif)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:26 −192 Psychastes talk contribs (→Prohibitions and regulations: Zhmud p. 200 "Of the commandments, only the taboos on the meat of non-sacrificial animals and on beans are more or less reliably linked to the Pythagoreans")
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:15 −99 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: word flow)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:09 +2 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: ce)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:08 −751 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: reduce prose, get to the point of the sources faster)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:02 −289 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: rm apparent original research)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:59 −107 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: that's certainly an exciting claim that porphyry and iamblichus wrote their biographies as polemics against christianity, but it's not one Zhmud makes!)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 −1 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: move tetractys picture up)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 +1 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: space)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 −1,681 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: excise manufactured controversy where none actually exists and there is no disagreement between the cited sources, remove long discussion of numerology associated with Roman-era neopythagoreans rather than pythagoras himself)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:46 −200 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: Gregory doesn't verify the other two claims, and his statement isn't that the tradition is genuine, just the idea of the tetractys itself (which he's presumably citing burkert for, who also says this))
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:43 −113 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: not supported by the source, is about a claim made by Iamblichus about neopythagoreans)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:13 −645 Psychastes talk contribs (rm unused note)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:11 −525 Psychastes talk contribs (→In mathematics: this is some rather egregious source falsification - Kahn says there's "no evidence" of Pythagoras having introduced the theorem to the Greeks, and specifically says that he certainly didn't prove it! he also doesn't endorse the idea that Pythagoras discovered platonic solids or mean proportionals, he's pointing out that whitehead is wrong to claim he did!)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:05 −148 Psychastes talk contribs (→In astronomy: this is true but unless we're going to connect the two facts and claim the greeks learned from the babylonians, i'm not sure its relevant)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:57 −1,341 Psychastes talk contribs (neither zhmud nor boyer, who are cited, verify this (chronologically impossible!) tale, and at any rate, most scholars today generally do not attribute any mathematical discoveries to either of them)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:50 −1,491 Psychastes talk contribs (the secondary sources here are much more skeptical of the ancient claims here, we shouldn't cite them as verifying those claims unless we discuss the modern scholarly analysis that disputes them)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:22 −21 Psychastes talk contribs (there are no other "early writers" who state this mentioned by Joost-Gaugier or Kahn)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:18 −4 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: and and)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:17 −516 Psychastes talk contribs (we don't need to spend that much time talking about herodotus or his reliability, given that he barely even mentions pythagoras)
• diffhist Aristotle 20:00 −220 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Four causes: ce)
• diffhist Aristotle 19:14 −9 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Medieval Europe: ce)
• diffhist Aristotle 19:14 −33 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Medieval Europe: -ology sp.; small ce)
• diffhist m Aristotle 19:13 −1 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Medieval Europe: l/c)
• diffhist Aristotle 19:10 −6 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (Legacy, per talk page (this is not an invitation to add 10,000 words on Aristotelianism))
• diffhist Aristotle 19:09 −229 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Transmission: ce)
• diffhist Pythagoras 19:09 +437 Psychastes talk contribs (much of the "biographical sources" section seems to fit better in either the legacy or the teachings sections, as it describes the content itself of the sources, not just their reliability. we can probably have a brief (and possibly briefer) description of the difficulties at the head of the life instead of hitting the reader with a heavy dose of source criticism first thing)
• diffhist Aristotle 18:21 +68 Psychastes talk contribs (modify the first part of the metaphysics section; the first sentence is an exact copy of the source material(!) with the clauses rearranged, and the second sentence (though previously not technically cited by anything) includes some probably unneeded inferences not made in the cited source.)
• diffhist Simplicius of Cilicia 17:30 +17 Psychastes talk contribs (add neoplatonism template)
• diffhist Aristotle 16:30 −476 Psychastes talk contribs (→Hellenistic science: Mayr is not a historian and his information is entirely inaccurate, and completely ignores the developments of both Herophilus (mentioned in the prior sentence!) and Galen and the work in the Islamic Golden age)
• diffhist Aristotle 15:50 −22 Psychastes talk contribs (rephrasing "formal logic" which is potentially misleading; while aristotle's study of logic was rigorous/systematic it wasn't a formal system in i.e. hilbert's sense)
