Talk:Philip II of Macedon

message: The question about calling Macedon a 'Greek kingdom', a 'Hellenic kingdom' or just a 'kingdom' has been discussed ad nauseam in a number of talk pages, including this one, see above. One of the difficulties is that the 'Greekness' of Macedon developed gradually during the period the kingdom existed, so that it is difficult, if not impossible, to define the kingdom with just one modifier. The main discussion about this terminology was a WP:RFC back in 2017 in the talk page of Macedonia (ancient kingdom), now archived here. The rather strong consensus of that discussion was to avoid describing the kingdom as 'Greek' or 'Hellenic' in the lede sentence. The question is, of course, discussed thoroughly further down in that article, which is the right place for it. In my book, the obvious corollary is that this article, which is not even about the kingdom, but about one of its kings, should also avoid using any of the modifiers about the kingdom in its lede sentence. I will strongly advice you to self revert, read the archived discussion (at least the conclusion of it) and then take part in the discussion here in order to determine the consensus. --T*U (talk) 19:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Greek / Hellenic Kingdom 

message: I would like to propose changing the main heading to ‘Philip the Great.’ It already redirects from this name, and we have been adding ‘Great’ to the deserving in recent years, such as for Constantine and Louis XIV. I think most who study Philip would agree he was a genius, both militarily and diplomatically; he united the Greeks; he conducted himself tactfully, benevolently, and clemently; he was shrewd; and is one of the transformative figures of antiquity. I know Demosthenes would disagree(XD), but I invite other historians to the debate of if we should give him the ‘Great’ title. -Alexander 141.126.243.47 (talk) 11:30, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Philip the Great 

message: The article claims that "many modern historians agree" on the plot to murder Philip not being instagated by Alexander or his mother. We only get five pages from one book written by a greek national cited for these claims. To claim that this is some sort of consensus based on that and the logic provided in the article is not sufficient evidence for such a strong claim according to my own standards of source criticism and I think the wording should be changed to something along the lines of "some modern historians" or that more citations should be added.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.158.190 (talk) 01:04, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poorly cited claim(s) 

message: The sons of Aeropus of Lyncestis were also suspected of taking part in the plot as accomplices of Pausanias. Arrhabaeus and Heromenes would be put to death, while Alexander of Lyncestis received pardon. Xandru4 (talk) 09:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
