NAME (proposed): 	sci.lang.classical  STATUS (proposed): 	unmoderated  CHARTER (proposed):  For discussion of Classical Studies, especially, but not exclusively, the study of Classical Greek and Roman culture, languages, history, and art.  COMMENTS:  An increasing number of news subscribers have academic interests in the humanities.  It is time that some of the more popular of these subjects had their own groups.  Up till now, discussion of classical studies has been taking place both in sci.lang (where it doesn't belong) and in rec.org.sca (where it of primarily peripheral interest).  A preliminary discussion, in those two groups, suggests that there is some support for a group dedicated to classical studies.  The only hierarchy for academic topics is sci.*.  This has the side benefit of obviating future debates to classify subjects as social sciences or humanities.  Although the newsgroup would not be restricted to discussions of languages only, the name sci.lang.classical appears more clear than the alternative option, sci.classics.  Other topics that are peripheral to classical studies - Sanskrit, Aramaic, Biblical cultures, and so forth - will be welcome (I imagine that there would not be enough support for a group dedicated to Aramaic).  Experience suggests that there is no way to prevent occasional postings on subjects that are completely outside the realm of classical studies, but we would rather not encourage them. --  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Rickert and Cary Timar, Vanderbilt University, Nashville [email protected]  &  [email protected]  From [email protected] Sun Apr 19 21:33:12 1992 Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,sci.lang,rec.org.sca From: [email protected] (Cary Timar) Subject: 2nd CFV and VOTE ACK:  sci.classics Followup-To: poster Reply-To: [email protected] Organization: Vanderbilt U. Math Grad Student Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1992 17:21:48 GMT  This is the second Call For Votes on a newsgroup for classical studies.  At the end is a mass acknowlegdement of the votes that we have registered so far.  If you have voted but are not listed, please vote again, following the instructions below, carefully.  NAME: sci.classics  STATUS: unmoderated  CHARTER:  For discussion of Classical Studies, especially, but not exclusively, the study of Classical Greek and Roman culture, languages, history, and art.  VOTING:  All votes must be e-mailed directly to: [email protected] The voting period will run from March 27 to April 26.  Votes posted to the net, or forwarded by a third party, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  Each vote should state explicitly, in the subject line or in the first line of the message, "I vote YES for sci.classics," or "I vote NO against sci.classics."  Any comments, such as, "but I would prefer ..." or, "but I would vote differently if ..." can be included *after* a clear statement of which way you are voting.  An overworked graduate student will eventually send you a confirmation of your vote.  A Second CFV and list of votes received will be posted in about two weeks.  COMMENTS:  An increasing number of news subscribers have academic interests in the humanities.  It is time that some of the more popular of these subjects had their own groups.  Up till now, discussion of classical studies has been taking place both in sci.lang (where it doesn't belong) and in rec.org.sca (where it of primarily peripheral interest).  A preliminary discussion, in those two groups, suggests that there is some support for a group dedicated to classical studies.  Other topics that are peripheral to classical studies - Sanskrit, Aramaic, Biblical cultures, Medieval and Modern Latin and so forth - will be welcome (I imagine that there would not be enough support for a group dedicated to Aramaic).  Experience suggests that there is no way to prevent occasional postings on subjects that are completely outside the realm of classical studies, but we would rather not encourage them.  The only hierarchy for academic topics is sci.*.  This has the side benefit of obviating future debates to classify subjects as social sciences or humanities.  From the perspective of classicists, it is worth noting that the Latin scientia referred to all knowledge, not only the subjects currently called sciences.  The name sci.classics is the most general of the more widely supported proposals.  The other, sci.lang.classical, places too much emphasis on the languages, at the expense of history, art, culture, archaeology, and other aspects.  It also appeared that the name sci.lang.classical would be opposed by some readers of sci.lang, who viewed it as an unfair invasion of their namespace.  Some proposed that the group be the first of a new subhierarchy for humanities, sci.arts.* or sci.humanities.*.  In order to get the CFV out in a reasonable time, I am letting this issue wait.  If a humanities subhierarchy is formed, if the newsgroup name is found to attract too many misplaced postings, or if for some other reason a change of name is found desirable, it will be easier to conduct the discussions in the group itself, once it is created. ===========================================================================  MASS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ==================== As of April 5, we have registered votes from the following users (sorted by surname, to the extent that that could be determined.)

There will be a five day waiting period in which any errors should be brought to our attention.  If, as seems likely, there are not enough errors to eliminate the 25 vote safety margin, the new group will be created in a few days.  At the end is a list of the votes that we have registered.

NAME: sci.classics  STATUS: unmoderated  CHARTER:  For discussion of Classical Studies, especially, but not exclusively, the study of Classical Greek and Roman culture, languages, history, and art.  COMMENTS:  An increasing number of news subscribers have academic interests in the humanities.  It is time that some of the more popular of these subjects had their own groups.  Up till now, discussion of classical studies has been taking place both in sci.lang (where it doesn't belong) and in rec.org.sca (where it of primarily peripheral interest).  A preliminary discussion, in those two groups, suggests that there is some support for a group dedicated to classical studies.  Other topics that are peripheral to classical studies - Sanskrit, Aramaic, Biblical cultures, Medieval and Modern Latin and so forth - will be welcome (I imagine that there would not be enough support for a group dedicated to Aramaic).  Experience suggests that there is no way to prevent occasional postings on subjects that are completely outside the realm of classical studies, but we would rather not encourage them.  Several respondents commented on the explanation above.  It is not meant to be in any way restrictive or definitive.  It was intended primarily to give non-classicists some idea of what Classical Studies includes.  We had other comments on the name.  Some of the voters, on both sides, felt that a different name would be better.  This can be debated more easily once the group is formed.  The only hierarchy for academic topics is sci.*.  This has the side benefit of obviating future debates to classify subjects as social sciences or humanities.  From the perspective of classicists, it is worth noting that the Latin scientia referred to all knowledge, not only the subjects currently called sciences.  The name sci.classics is the most general of the more widely supported proposals.

It also appeared that the name sci.lang.classical would be opposed by some readers of sci.lang, who viewed it as an unfair invasion of their namespace.  Some proposed that the group be the first of a new subhierarchy for humanities, sci.arts.* or sci.humanities.*.  In order to get the CFV out in a reasonable time, I let this issue wait.  Others felt that the group belonged in the soc.* hierarchy (either assuming that Classical Studies is a Social Science (!) or that it is merely an excuse for socializing) or in misc.*.    If a humanities subhierarchy is formed, if the newsgroup name is found to attract too many misplaced postings, or if for some other reason a change of name is found desirable, it will be easier to conduct the discussions in the group itself, once it is created. ===========================================================================  Votes were received from the following (in alphabetical order by surname, as far as that could be determined)  YES: ---- ?? <[email protected]> ?? <[email protected]> Russell Ackerman <[email protected]> Allan Adler <[email protected]> Rich Alderson <[email protected]> Andrea Aldridge <[email protected]> Benjamin Allen <[email protected]> Dawn Amos <[email protected]> Norm Andrews <[email protected]> William S.
