Talk:Egyptian medical papyri

message: There's a few other minor papyri that could be added here, it would probably be good to add them here if anyone can find sources for them. Ryan Postlethwaite 18:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I've never added a ref before, so could someone check this? *Cremepuff222* 22:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ref looks fine to me, thanks for adding the papyrus :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 22:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Erm, the external link doesn't show up in the last reference. Is that how it's supposed to be? *Cremepuff222* 01:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You need to add the URL seperately, I've don't it now so it's fixed. Ryan Postlethwaite 01:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Minor papyri 

message: The convention for most articles seems to use a cap on "Papyrus" or "Papyri" for the names, such as on the famous Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, etc. I think this article should be moved to Medical Papyri, as well as moving-over-redirect the first two others to Edwin Smith Papyrus and Ebers Papyrus (the third one is curiously already capped). — Komusou talk @ 19:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you do a quick g search, you see that the "p" isn't gnerally capitalised when in the main body of text so I'm not sure about the move. I certainly agree it may be a good idea to move Ebers papyrus and the Edwin Smith papyrus, as papyrus in that context is part of the name. Ryan Postlethwaite 19:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Appears you're right – I thought the set had become capitalized because the article's author had capitalized "The Medical Papyri are ..." in the lead (wink, wink ;-). Which means it just should be decapitalized entirely in the lead (as well as in the DYK hooks, now I think of it), plus namecheck lesser-used "medical papyruses" for the record. And I'm going to pagemove the two other articles. — Komusou talk @ 13:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

text:  All done. I've also added the  to align lead and headword. — Komusou talk @ 18:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is great at the moment, but what would really make it better would be a few pictures. There are a few here, but if anyone has a picture that could be used, that would be awesome. *Cremepuff222* 02:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: looks good to me, any chance you could add it in? It would probably be good to get images to illustrate all the main papyri. Ryan Postlethwaite 02:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I also e-mailed a guy for the use of an image on his website. I'll let you know when he replies. *Cremepuff222* 02:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the image on the introduction. Do you think it would be better to be placed in the respective section? *Cremepuff222* 02:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sheesh, I'm obsessed with this... this site has some really good content. I would add something, but I'm a bit busy right now. Good luck. *Cremepuff222* 02:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images? 

message: Makes no sense to me. Anyone explain? 82.71.48.158 23:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's because the medical papyri is just a collective name for all the medical papyri found. The individual are captialised, but this is just a group. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No reason to lowercase it, though. Lowercase is just for words which are *never* uppercased, not even when beginning a sentence (like eBay or iPod). —Nightstallion 23:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In the English language, upper case is for "proper names" and titles or at the beginning of a sentence. Lower case is for all other "common" nouns unless it's a brand name of some kind or a stylistic trick such as the writer "e.e. cummings". Take a look at at the wiki's Manual of style and enjoy polishing your editing. Julia Rossi 00:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not disputing the lowercase or anything, but why are articles like "Tree" capitalized even though they are common nouns as well? *Cremepuff222* 22:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

text: You most certainly don't need to correct me, Julia; I'm well aware of how we should use lowercase and uppercase. —Nightstallion 00:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Editor is requested to please include the work of Prof Emeritus L C Youtie, in the Medical Papyri she studied. An important recipe "the 12 Ingredients" found in the 4th Century Papyri has been located and discussed with regard to Claudius Galen.
