[edit] Copyright violation
I unfortunately removed a vast amount of data that was added by an anon editor. It seemed to be from an academic paper, with multiple footnotes, and I noticed that it contained citations from the 1980s. I did not look for the text to determine if it was available online or not. I reverted this to a page prior to the addition of this material and added the copyvio notice. If the anon editor is in fact the author, this can be undone, but this needs to be made with explicit permission (and you probably should have a login ID as well.)

[edit] References in the sentences
Wouldn't this article look much nicer if the references in the sentences were moved to footnotes. 128.250.217.20 06:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Defence of Posey
the present comments on "defense of poesy" is clearly a revenge of prose against Philip Sidney's radical position against philosophy and history. None of the assertions can stand a quotation of Sidney's own words. Above all the reduction of this extremely deep text to "neo-platonism" is an illustration of Sidney's allegoric image of prosaic insinuations out of poets eggs immediatly cannibalize its genitors.

I think that the final three sections (Influence, Significance, and On Method) should be formed into a new page and simply linked to this Sidney page. I'd do it right away, but I'm not sure which references go to which section. Tell me what you think on my page, please. Scoutersig 16:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Main character in a work of fiction
It happens to be a fact that Philip Sidney is one of the main characters (if not the main character) in The Armor of Light by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett. I am quite not up to speed on what the correct way to mention that in the article would be, but surely it deserves a nod of some sort or another. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 11:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
