Cleanup[edit]

Visiting from cleanup, here are some thoughts:

trim down the lists of Scotists further to only the most notable
remove unnecessary endless book citations, only useful for the most dedicated scholar, not for an encylopedia article
re-write much of this in modern English (thinks: how will our English read in 100 years time?)
precis, precis, precis. (Do we need all the stuff about angels?)
add a link to an online copy of the original CE source text

Apologies to any Scotists: the countless propositions previous listed in this article remain in the edit history; those which are of particular significance to Scotism can be readily restored. In the meantime, I have removed most of them for the sake of clarity. Marcus22 15:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mess[edit]

This article is a mess and the English badly needs to be cleaned up stylewise in a number of places. -- Palthrow 03:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

I usually hear "Duns Scotus" as "SCOTE-us"; is this -ism pronounced "SCOTT-ism" or "SCOTE-ism"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trevor Burnham (talk • contribs) 03:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SCOTE-ism would be correct, according to Chambers Dictionary. Hv (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is pedantic[edit]

I have read the article several times and i still cannot discern any characteristic or special beliefs associated with, or contrasting Scotism with any other set of beliefs. I think the article needs to be almost completely discarded and rewritten. Robin Starveling (talk) 22:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
