Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 22 September 2021 and 10 December 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Sappho Cornelia Catula. Peer reviewers: ExSilvissima, Footballer 28.
The lede uses two orthographies alternately, arete and aretē. Though it does not appear here, arête is another frequent form. It would be best to use a single spelling but list commonly used alternate forms. HGilbert (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My request was purely procedural. I have no opinion on the main meaning. But the primary meaning at the German Wikipedia is also virtue in Greek philosophy. Srnec (talk) 16:09, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the pages as proposed at this time, per the discussion below. I have added an additional hatnote to the article pointing directly to Arête in light of the objections expressed over the course of this discussion. Dekimasuよ!00:56, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
– While this move was requested before, I don't agree with the result - far from being an "obscure" Greek term, it has significantly more pageviews than the other potential major topics. Comparison It appears to be the clear primary topic as all the various people were named from the concept. As for arête, WP:SMALLDETAILS means they should be able to coexist.ZXCVBNM (TALK)11:20, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I only ever see the word "arete" in its meanings of a mountain ridge or a more general corner between things. In French that should be spelled with a circumflex but I think in English that distinction has mostly been lost. I don't think the technical term from academic philosophy is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the "distinction has been lost". When I search Google with "arete" I get results for the Greek virtue. When I search with『arête』I get results for the mountain formation AND the Greek virtue. It seems like you have it backwards and『arête』is the only one that is always spelled with a circumflex. Perhaps it should also be moved to Arête (geology) and Arête be made a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT.ZXCVBNM (TALK)19:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support as the Greek concept covers more than just moral virtue. Having "moral virtue" as a disambiguation isn't quite correct. Teishin (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the use of quotation marks in the first sentence is a bit misleading. The word does not mean "excellence of any kind" in the sense that you could slot that phrase into a sentence in place of "arete". Rather, word means "excellence" and can refer to any kind of excellence. I get that the quotation marks indicate that the entire phrase comes from the cited source, so maybe the fix is to restructure the sentence to something like "Liddle and Scott define arete as..." 12.132.53.98 (talk) 19:23, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
