Historical Accuracy

[edit]

Does anyone else feel that this article is based more on legend than historical fact? -- Ledcraft 01:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are not alone. I'm further concerned that this account may be based on later legends (say after AD 1000), rather than ones closer to the time of his death. No way to tell from the article as it currently stands. -- llywrch 01:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately this tends to be the case with Eastern saints. Their lives are usually entirely conflated and mysticized. I am going to rename the section "Life" as "Legend of life", I think. Alekjds talk 03:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, never mind, I think it adequately purports itself as legend in the text of the article. I do, of course, still agree with the assessment made about the historical accuracy. The fact is that that's all there is, the legend. Alekjds talk 03:30, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I understand: I encountered a similar problem when I worked on Tekle Haymanot. In any case, it would be a help if sources were provided in these cases. I'd evaluate information taken from a 3rd century life far differently than from a 13th century life. (And it is a far different matter than the earlier one is more reliable than the older -- which in some cases is not the case.) -- llywrch 21:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why that's out of the question. Alekjds talk 20:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

[edit]

This really should be under Charalampus. InfernoXV 04:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling used bin the article was predominantly Charalampos, I have made it uniform. However looking at use in books
In conclusion the correct WP:COMMONNAME for this article is Saint Charalambos or Charalambos, and that is probably the spelling we should use in the article. I will make the changes.

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Jreferee 18:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
