The "debate" section could either go on a "Debate Guide" subpage, or else on the article itself--not on Civil society/Related. --Larry Sanger 06:45, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I see there is a page for that. Hadn't notice it before. This subpage format works exceedingly well!

Thanks, Roger.

See CZ:Definitions for definition format. In short, where you have written:

[[First Great Awakening]] : • The First Great Awakening occurred at a time that might be characterized as "pre-civil society" in the American colonies.

you should write simply:

{{r|First Great Awakening}}

which will display like this:

  • First Great Awakening [r]: The First Great Awakening was a religious revitalization movement that swept the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s; there was a de-emphasis on ritual and ceremony and religion became intensely personal. [e]

Then follow the Template:Def First Great Awakening link and put your definition there. But notice...the definitions you've provided on this page are all written in the context of the civil society article. They couldn't be reused elsewhere. What we ought to do, instead, is write reusable, general definitions so that we can easily expand new lists, and update all pages that use a definition from a single location. Again, see CZ:Definitions. --Larry Sanger 02:22, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
