This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

John E. McIntyre (2012-09-24). "Don't trust Wikipedia on Anselm". The Baltimore Sun. Retrieved 2012-09-24. A subsequent study by Epic, an e-learning company, and Oxford University was published in 2012, and it is this study that Dr. Buckner addresses, particularly on the reliability of the Wikipedia articles on Thomas Aquinas and Anselm of Canterbury.

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on April 21, 2020.

Pallium[edit]

I meant to mention this before: the "receive the pallium from the hands of the pope" seems an overstrict interpretation. IIRC there was much to-ing and fro-ing about York/Canterbury and pallia, which imply that sending one was not an extraordinary event. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:59, 3 August 2014 (UTC).

Indeed Gregory sent a pallium with Laurentius and Peter, for Augustine in 601. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 15:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC).

Tadeusz Grzesik[edit]

Under the heading 'Responsio', it says someone called 'Grzesik' responds to Anselm. The person linked to is a Polish serial killer. Is this an error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobobobo2 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to add this, you need to explain it in the main text with the reference. A bare mention in the infobox with no explanation is no use to the reader. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
