message: There is little to work with when trying to understand who or when something was invented. In this case the star arguement and arrangement seems to be credited to Cleostratus. This view held by Dr. Forthingham only really has weight because of the limited amount of material evidence and the constant problem of translations.This reoccuring theme in the Historical study of the Sciences, has both Greek and Latin translations which could conflict with the already small amount of source material. The fact that this figure Cleostratus is at least (almost) a contempary of Thales, means not only historical reverence but also has an idea of continuation of old and possibly unprovable myths of real men. Myths transcending history. see E.J. Webb.Boyd8420 (talk) 22:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

text: I agree that the timeframes for inventions are difficult. I have had a lot of trouble on mine figuring out good dates for his sub designs. However, if the sources you do have right now have enough solid information, you should be good with quality over quantity. I know how you feel about being stuck with so little sources. I feel like if you can just expound on the existing article enough so that the main influence Cleostratus had is more clear, you will be alright. Nro87 (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
