Talk:Richard Dawkins

Separate Atheism from Political views
The entire first, quite long paragraph of the section headed Political views is entirely about Dawkins' views on atheism. Atheism is not politics. I propose making that paragraph a separate section titled Atheism. HiLo48 (talk) 08:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but in practice being an outspoken atheist is political. Not in some countries but it certainly is in the US. Also, putting pro-atheist signs on buses also sounds pretty political because it's more than just saying "I'm an atheist". Johnuniq (talk) 10:08, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps in the US it's political, as is currently just about everything. In Europe, and in England —the subject's home— it certainly is not, on the contrary. I strongly agree with HiLo48's proposal. - DVdm (talk) 11:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Why not just say "Views"? The section covers a multitude of views, some political, some not. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 15:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, just say views. Bduke (talk) 22:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Does anybody know how to put the references under references?
S Robinhoodph (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Any reference that is added using the tags as instructed at WP:INCITE should automatically be collected beneath the "References" section. Everything seems to be OK in this reference list.  signed, Willondon (talk)  22:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Great thanks Robinhoodph (talk) 01:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It is done using reflist. Somebody deleted the section. I have reinstated it but I don't have time now to find out who did it and what other vandalism they committed. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 00:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Great thanks Robinhoodph (talk) 01:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The "somebody" was you, with this edit. What did you think you were doing? You really need to stop editing this article until you understand how to edit properly. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Its not dishonourable to not say it was me. It would be dishonourable to leave it a mess, which I did not. I begged for someone to fix it because I didnt know how. I thought I was going to get in deep trouble, thats why I didnt say I did it. It was a mistake not done deliberately. I m not going to edit richard dawkins page anymore because good edits by me arent valued. Robinhoodph (talk) 16:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, that's a relief.;-) Carlstak (talk) 02:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

 * ✅  signed, Willondon (talk)  02:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks still learning. Can you send me the link to where you can undo revisions of your own and others Robinhoodph (talk) 02:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't know what device or software you are using to edit Wikipedia, but there should be an option to "View History" somewhere. This will provide a list of the edits that have been made on the article. If the edit you want to revert is the most recent (current) one, it is easy to use the "undo" feature to put things back the way they were. If the edit to revert is further back, more recent edits may have muddled things enough that the software can't revert it without reverting the latest edits, too. Then it will have to be done manually.  signed, Willondon (talk)  03:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Dawkins as a cultural Christian
It was said on BBC Radio Four in April 2024 that Dawkins now describes himself as a cultural Christian. This means he may not accept the truth of religious doctrines, but still likes singing hymns and Christmas carols. Should this be included where this article talks about Dawkins' views on religion? 1YTKJ (talk) 07:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Sarah Dawkins was born on 19/10/1944 in Zomba, in Nyasaland. She is also called Sarah Veryan Dawkins. Jean Dawkins, Richard Dawkins and Sarah Dawkins arrived in Liverpool from South Africa on 3/3/1946. They seem to have returned to Nyasaland soon afterwards. A3y7ds (talk) 12:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
