[edit] Origin of the term
What is the origin of this term? When did it start being used, and by whom? Mr. Jones 10:36, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I am also curious about this page and why "forms of government" is not a subsection under Politics. This is not right. Civics is a Latin term for society and this definition is adding things I didn't know. Civics is compartive government???? There are no references and no history of the term, no reference to it in Latin history. I am with Mr. Jones. This needs to be discussed and some references provided here.WHEELER 00:12, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Civis is Latin for citizen.
- Civitas is the technical Latin word for the right of citizenship. This current definition of this site is not right. It should all fall under Politics.WHEELER 00:14, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Where it says "not conclusive," I think you really meant "not exhaustive." (Or maybe both?) Hal G
[edit] Needs serious cleanup
This article seems very unfocused and messy (especially compared to other political articles), and so I tagged it for cleanup. — Stevie is the man! Talk | Work 18:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- I will do some clean-up over the next few days. I am still very new to Wikipedia, but I'll stick to established norms as I best understand them. If I step on anyone's toes, I apologize in advance. --Darth Smurf (talk) 07:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Taking The Class
So I know this is a very interesting atricle, but I have one question. I am taking Civics next year as part of a required corse and I was looking for some more information on what the class will cover. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!! LILLYofTHEsouth 22:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup by Structuring
LILLYofTHEsouth would appear to be a US high school student, otherwise she could consult a published syllabus for the course in question. At one time Civics was a requirement in the U.S. (when its motto was still E Pluribus Unum) but today it would be considered quaint. In any case such a syllabus should provide ideas for a structure/outline which is the thing this article needs. Current content should fit within it. Lycurgus 08:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 03:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I'd Like to remove Minarchy
As far as I can tell, minarchy is a form of libertarianism and does not need it's own definition here. Case in point: Jargon Database. I'd like to remove it. --Darth Smurf (talk) 05:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
