== Question about Humanities section ==
== Question about history section ==
The author of the humanities list cites the French and American revolutions as core articles on humanity, albeit already written articles. Why, then, does the author not support the [[Mexican Revolution]], perhaps the most significant revolution of the twentieth century in the Western hemisphere, as a core article?

Philosophy

That's a good list, Larry. I think we should add ontology / philosophy of being - of course, that's a branch of metaphysics, which is already covered, but I would argue that since a particular ontology underlies every philosophical position, a general article devoted to it would be helpful. I guess I am saying that it is - to me - the core of philosophy. Being qua being. But objectively speaking, and at the very least, it would provide a top-level article dedicated to a word that students come across after Phil 101, and could probably have a better grasp of.

And I do not judge from this list that a page dedicated to a branch of a trunk is a problem; many of these core articles, for instance, are clearly indicated as branches of epistemology, or some other field. John_Hymers
