Difference between this list and ‘List of academic fields’? Merge?
Can anyone explain what the difference is between this article and List of academic fields? Should these two lists be merged? Why or why not? In the talk section of Outline of academic disciplines the words "fields" and "disciplines" are used interchangeably. What is the difference? If a reasonable difference can be stated, shouldn't a suitable rationale for each article be given in each article's opening paragraph, helping reader's understand why each article exists and how it is differentiated from the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Close (talk • contribs) 15:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- I would second this. Merging this page into List of academic fields. Jamzze (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Universal List of Academic Disciplines?
The outline uses Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP 2000), Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification and Complete JACS as points of reference for the list.
Is there no "universal" outline on academic disciplines made by "official" sources? Any attempts at making one?
Separating the Arts from the Humanities?
The methods and methodologies employed by the arts and humanities vary considerably - I would argue these should be separated and 'The Arts' be given their own disciplinary area to highlight this significance. Jamzze (talk) 20:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- For example, looking at Dr Katrin Niglas outline of the methodology continuum, the 'Arts' are a distinct discipline [1]. Jamzze (talk) 20:14, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Edit-warring over "See also" section
@Remsense and @Xolo08, I noticed a potential edit war starting up here. Could you explain your points of view, so we can hammer out a productive solution?
@Xolo08 it looks like you're new here, so I'd suggest checking out Da Rulez (short version) and skimming over our edit-warring policy. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's not really edit warring to see someone removing basic article structures and make sure to put them back. This has to be done with new editors many times a day. I have no opinion on the content, I'm just making sure things aren't broken while others learn the ropes. Remsense ‥ 论 20:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Right, no worries, I'm not blaming you or anything :) I just noticed a couple reverts in a row and wanted to make sure this didn't escalate, and try modeling good behavior for a new user. (Maybe we should ask for a pending changes lock on this page?) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 20:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ahh, are you on-patrol/just reverting whole-section blanking that tripped the edit filter? Makes sense.Template:PbI took a closer look and it doesn't look like vandalism (the "see also" is actually kinda crufty), so I tried to compromise and gave it a trim. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 20:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
