Too much voice edit

The Europe study's text has way too much voice. Not encyclopedic writing style at all. 129.237.90.54 01:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reincarnation in literature edit

69.29.223.142 21:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)J.D. Salinger's short story "Teddy" (Nine Stories 1953) concerns (among other things) reincarnation and should be mentioned in the article.Reply

Patton may or may not have been Hannibal edit

The People section, General George S. Patton item, has been modified. The statement that "Patton believed he was a reincarnation of Carthaginian General Hannibal" is an idea that is original research on the referenced website and, as such, is not yet worthy of Wikipedia. In fact, the referenced website does not claim Patton believed this. It only builds a rather weak, circumstantial, case in support of the idea that Patton was the reincarnated Hannibal. Unless a reference can be found where Patton states that he thought he was the reincarnation of Hannibal, the idea should not be used here. LoneStar77 (talk) 03:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
