"Superbia: the Latin word for pride" = WRONG TRANSLATION!

edit

Hello,

i'm italian.

"superbia", other than a latin word, is currently also an italian word, that means a negative mix of "arrogance", "haughtiness", "insolence", sometimes paradoxly related to a big inconscious ignorance.

on italian language, "pride" is "orgoglio", in a not always positive acception (unfortunately), but surely most positive than "superbia" (that's always negative).

please check this.

..."superbia" is *almost* always negative; only in evident friendly situation, as sign of very big and particular applause to someone - something, can have a positive meaning; example: "che superba opera d'arte!" ("what a incredible great, fantastic, excellent, ruling, magnificent, superlative artwork!") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.176.233.131 (talk) 09:30, 19 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
And I am pretty sure it is the same in Latin: I don't recall ever seeing superbus or superbia as a positive thing.203.56.42.0 (talk) 01:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Template:EB1911

edit
See the section #Merge with Hubris and Vanity

With "Revision as of 16:01, 21 June 2008" this article had text and citations merged into it from Hubris and Vanity a merge that was later partially undone. One of the items that remained on this page was the template {{1911}}.

The template was initially on the article "Hubris" see Revision at 12:47, 13 June 2008 and "merged" into this one. The other article "Vanity" that was merged into this article carried no such template (see Revision 16:41, 19 June 2008.

The addition of the template t{{1911}} to the article Hubris was made by an IP address with Revision as of 20:12, 28 July 2005 presumably to support the edit imidiatly before it Revision as of 20:12, 28 July 2005 none of those additions are in this text.

Without an article or a volume and page number this is less than helpful because it states that somewhere in 40,000 entris in the 29 volumes of the EB1911 there may be some text copied into this article but I am not going to tell you were (it has articles in alphabetic order of Vol 13: "Hübner, Joseph Alexander, Count Huc", "Évariste Régis"; Vol 22: "Prick posts", "Pride, Thomas" and "Prideaux, Humphrey"; Vol 27: "Vanilla", "Vanini, Lucilio", "Vanloo, Charles Andrew".

So I am removing the template from this article. I am also removing "Fisher, Nick (1992)" which was originally added to Hybris by the same IP address at the same time that {{1911}} was added to the article Hybris to support the same facts.

I suggest that someone else looks through the "References" section and removes any that are not currently cited, as they appear to be cruft of the sort old article tend to accumulate (like barnacles on a ship). -- PBS (talk) 10:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Doesn't pride mean pack Of lions Or more than one lion 107.242.121.8 (talk) 07:54, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

"Pride" is a word with many different meanings. It can refer to a pack of lions, it can also refer to a "happy confidence". I think this discussion about this page suffers from a lack of understanding and definition as to what exactly pride is. Do not take my word for it. There are numerous sources as to what "Pride" means. Some times it gets confused with "cocky" or "arrogant" or whatever term you apply for narcissism in a human being. I suppose the only definition that may ever fit with "pride" is "truly excessive confidence" and I emphasize "truly", people confuse or attack confidence all the time out of there own narcissism routinely.

Correction, I just did it myself :) Exchange "pride" with "arrogance" on my earlier post. "arrogance" is "truly excessive confidence". "pride" is just "happy confidence" Pride is tricky, even if you arguing in good faith. There's a reason why people have been arguing it's definition for thousands of years.

i think the search term "pride" should redirect to the disambiguation page for the word "pride" because there are so many different meanings Dimimegesis (talk) 05:52, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

"A healthy amount of pride is good"

edit

Besides being dubious, this statement is also a Wikipedia: Subjective importance because being "good" is not an objective merit. It is like adding "chocolate is good" to article chocolate or adding "i love dogs!" to article canis lupus. Violation of encyclopedic neutrality. Cactus Ronin (talk) 06:00, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be more or less meaningless, since 'good' would seem to imply 'healthy' anyway. The lede probably needs rewriting in a more coherent manner. As does the rest of the article, since it seems to be a collection of random stuff relating to 'pride', rather than an overview of the topic as a whole. If there actually is a single topic at all, rather than several different ones... AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:13, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
