Thomas Dick
I came across a book by Thomas Dick in the San Jose State University library; and, since it appeared to be very old, read parts of it. I found it to be very illuminating; and, so, I looked up his biography in a one-hundred-year-old reference book of Scottish/Irish/English personalities. It seemed to me that this fellow deserves to be remembered. Therefore, I wrote this article and linked it in to appropriate places in other articles. Leave me a note on my talk page or here if you have any comments or suggestions. Aletheia 16:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Adding image
I have added an image of Rev. Thomas Dick, from my article on Mills Observatory. --Cyril Thomas 11:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Changes
I made several changes to the article today, but will not have time to be a regular contributor. Many of Thomas Dick's books are available on-line and would make nice additions to his Wikipedia article. Assistance is invited and welcome. - Astrochemist (talk) 13:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I find his calculation in ´Celestial scenery´(first page of chapter VI). Nowhere in The Christian Philosopher. Pukkie (talk) 11:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

– There are two people of the name Thomas Dick on Wikipedia; this one and Thomas Dick (politician). This person is not the primary topic (April page views were 375 and 67), especially when one takes into account that a good number of the incoming links to this page were from the politician (which I will tidy up). I thus propose that the disambiguation page (that I have just set up) gets moved to this page, and this page gets disambiguated. It's a reasonably straightforward thing, apart from it not being obvious to me what the disambiguator for the Reverend should be. Schwede66 22:29, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I would go a stage further, I would treat the New Zealand politician as the primary meaning. PatGallacher (talk) 01:35, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
- Support neither is obviously primary. Category:Ministers of the Church of Scotland suggests "Thomas Dick (minister)" as a disambiguator. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Too ambiguous for a very obscure name. I'm not familiar with either one of them, but I'm not sure how relevant this is. Anyway, as for the "long-term", both have the same amount of "long-term". --George Ho (talk) 23:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
