Template talk:Catullus

message: If this is primarily a navigational template, I wonder if it would be better to format it horizontally (with the picture on the left, and the list of poems on the right) and place it at the end of articles. At the moment it clutters the lead of some articles, and sandwiches the text between the template and an image. I'd be happy to reformat it if others agree ;) Geometry guy 23:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Format and placing of template

message: Is this really wise? 130.85.223.4 (talk) 22:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A few months ago, many of those poems had their own articles, with references to the scholarly literature on each poem.  However, they were mostly undeveloped, and after some disagreements among the members of the Catullus WikiProject, those articles were redirected, rendering them (as you say) non-existent.  On the other hand, since so many are now gone, this template appears in only a handful of articles, and hence will mis-direct commensurately few readers. ;)  Trying to find the humorous side, Willow (talk) 22:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links to a bunch of non existent articles 

message: I think it's misleading to describe poems written in, for example, Sapphic stanzas as "unusual" in meter. This form was used by Horace as well and went on to a long history in post-classical literature. The meaning is probably that it's unusual for Catullus to use them, but I think it would be better if it was changed to a name like "other" meters so we don't give the wrong impression that Sapphics, etc. were uncommon to a new reader.--Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 20:43, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

message: According to the succession box in the article Aksungur, Aksungur is preceded by a certin Uldiz. But in this list, I can't see his name. Can he be Uldin ?

message: I would like to remove entry 7 from the People section, as, in the context of the page and intended-to-be-humorous tone of the text, it reads in a way that promotes stigma.
Another option is rewording it to indicate that neurodiverse people may behave in ways inconsistent with social norms, and that this should be taken into account when trying to understand their behavior.
However, in its current iteration, it reads as being quite offensive in a way that is highly inappropriate for Wikipedia and violates NPOV. This was written a long time ago, and society has progressed since then. Edgelord humor from the 00s has not aged well.
If there are no objections or proposals for alteration within 10 days (2022-12-21 at 00:00 UTC), I will remove entry #7 of the People section.

Talk:Mota, Ethiopia

message: In a Hungarian book, there's a report from the year 2000 about a leprosy camp called LC2 (Leprosy Camp 2) "near the lake Tana, above Mota". By that time, it was attempted to be kept secret, guarded by the military. It consisted of three sections, where the patients were sorted according to the progress of their disease. The second section, with more advanced cases was somewhat apart, and the third, with the "faceless people" (final stages), approx. 6-8Km (3,7-4,9Mi) apart from the first, in a depression on a mountain, accessible through a very narrow passage. In the 1990 there were about 2800 patients, in 2000 about 7000. That's all info to be found.

replies: text: The problem is that the same lead is being used for multiple related lists. There was some reason for that, but it is wrong to have this page say it lists birds, etc. (and for the, e.g., birds page saying it includes mammals, etc. I think we should stop transcluding the lead, and let each sub-list have its own correct lead.

replies: text: Disagree, let's find a way to simply word this so it remains accurate but not confusing. This is one very large list in three sections having a single lede for all three has been amazingly stable so let's just find some wording that makes sense. It can be part of the lede itself or a note and potentially we could customize the lede sentence and follow it with the rest of the lede as we do with a different image on each of the three sections.  -- Banjeboi 23:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, either the intro sentence would have to  be reworded to fit the article and its title, or the article would have to be expanded to include fish and insects, then the title of the page would have to be redone.

Talk:Rototuna

message: The school is in the middle of Te Manatu in an area known collectively as Rototuna, so why move information about it to Huntington, which is another census area? Johnragla (talk) 02:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: At the time I moved it, I was planning to use the three statistical areas of Te Manatu, St James and Huntington all as a single suburb. Then I found there was already an article on St James Park, and Te Manatu didn't look to be significant enough for its own article. If you think Te Manatu would be more appropriately combined with Rototuna, I'm happy to do that, but the table for individual statistical areas in this article will need to be updated to include that area, and it's wide enough already with three areas. There's no hard and fast rules about suburb boundaries, so I'm using the statistical areas and also looking at Fire and Emergency localities as an alternative interpretation.-gadfium 04:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

text: Seems odd to show the  Christian School in Rototuna, but not the Waldorf School, which is closer to the centre of Rototuna. Ashmore lies between Rototuna and the Christian School. Johnragla (talk) 05:32, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

text: The Christian School is closer to the centre of Rototuna than Rototuna High School, and slightly closer than Te Totara Primary. Ashmore doesn't appear on Google Maps or Open Street View, so I wonder if the proposed suburb didn't happen. The 2010 Hamilton City Council map doesn't include Rototuna. As I said above, I have no problem with including Te Manatu in Rototuna, but we will have to either expand or scrap the table of individual statistical areas in this article.-gadfium 05:55, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

text: I agree Ashmore doesn't exist, but I'm not sure how much residents identify with the other Rototuna suburbs either. That's why my preference is to lump them all together as Rototuna, which is often used to describe them. Johnragla (talk) 06:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
