Cleaned Up and Decent Sized List Created

[edit]

I deleted the mention of a "full list of critical theory topics" since such a list doesn't exist, will probably be impossible to complete and is unecessary when the topic list is still this short. We can bring it back when we need to. I also deleted some of them theorists. Presumably the theorists listed here should be limited to the most important and influential scholars so thats what I tried to keep. That said there are certainly people who know this stuff better than I do so if you think someone on the list shouldn't be on it or someone else should just make the change.--Jsn4 16:47, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "History of" section needs links!

Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

A discussion is underway that may affect the name of this article.

See: Wikipedia talk:Outlines#Should articles named "Outline of x" be renamed to "List of x topics"?

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

[edit]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
