1. DO NOT delete talk pages.

2. We now have a fun article with more interesting on-topic content than the mainspace version. Ty, nice fuck up there! ħumanUser talk:Human 07:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

1. That was a redirect, not a talk page.
2. Oh no, what are we going to do now? We're doomed!!!!1!! -- Nx / talk 07:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

This page must be expanded. This topic is absolutely on-mission. I will add a little more each day. Does anyone have any ideas about what we should cover? --TheLateGatsby (talk) 22:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I think detailing why the Middles Ages were so shitty (destruction of art, lowered life expectancy, poor engineering, religious bigotry, disease, etc.) in more detail and connecting it to the prevailing anti-intellectualism stances at the time. I can't help but get a little peeved when I think about the Library of Alexandria for instance.Dr. Swordopolis (talk) 01:58, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Exactly... more than that, we can connect it to modern movements. Some cranks have medieval notions, and some politicians would drag us back to the dark ages, if they had their way. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 02:10, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Where this article is going

This article needs to be a catalogue of the beliefs and mistakes of the age, sure, but how should we organize it? By period (Dark ages to High Middle ages) or by topic? I'm leaning towards topic, obviously, but we can shuffle it around if need be. Another thing I'm thinking is that we need to make it clear that people were horribly benighted in the middle ages... but we of the modern world are still pretty fucking stupid. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
