Talk:Apollonius of Rhodes

message: With respect to the question asked by : it seems that the article in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica is the victim of some of the confusion discussed in this article. It claims floruit 222–181 , and puts the date of Ptolemy Epiphanes appointing him librarian definitively as 196. Given that, and the significant subsequent research from , I think it's not helpful to mention the EB1911 article at all. As another reliable source, the current EB, puts his birth at 295, these second-century dates seem even less likely. And, given the EB source, is that good enough to add the birthdate to this article? David Brooks (talk) 17:12, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: ETA: The only bit of EB1911 that could be relevant is the judgment that "As to the Argonautica, Longinus’ (De Sublim. p. 54, 19) and Quintilian’s (Instit. x. 1, 54) verdict of mediocrity seems hardly deserved; although it lacks the naturalness of Homer, it possesses a certain simplicity and contains some beautiful passages." The article says this in similar words, but maybe a mention of their names would be appropriate inline (see footnote 23). David Brooks (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I am generally opposed to using the EB1911 as a source in Wikipedia articles because I have found that its is generally outdated on most topics relating to ancient history and, sometimes, its descriptions are downright inaccurate. In general, I believe that newer sources should usually be given preference over older ones. --Katolophyromai (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree with that, but it should be noted that EB1911 is often the only usable source, and often the best source for, say, some of the more obscure 18th century French poets. Certainly outdated biases should be suppressed, and a more modern source can be used, if people can be persuaded to cite them. In any case, my mission is to identify and tag those pieces that do still rely on EB1911, in accordance with WP:CITE, not necessarily add spurious material from it.

Talk:Gold Coast Seaway

message: Here is some information I found on an information sign at the Spit. 
----
The Nerang River Entrance has a notorious history of instability. The ever-changing river mouth was moving northward at rates of up to 60m per year, eroding South Stradbroke Island and choking the Broadwater with sand. These hazardous condtions resulted in several boating tragedies and represented a major impediment to recreational and commercial baoting on the Gold Coast.
The construction of the Gold Coast Seaway just south of the then existing river mouth has eliminated the problems associated with the old bar and has provided a safe access to the ocean. Two training walls, 320 metres apart, have been constructed. The south wall extending 600 metres ofshore and the north wall 400 metres. The walls are oriented slightly north of east to reduce wave penetration into the broadwater. Dredging works have been carried out to excavate new navigation channels, with fill being used to close the old bar and create Wavebreak Island. This island captures storm waves and protects the low lying western foreshore of the Broadwater from erosion. 
Concrete cubes of 20 and 25 tonnes size form the core of the training walls. All 4,500 of these were cast on site. Aprons of rockvarying in size from 2 - 15 tonnes -- 1 million tonnes in all -- were placed around the core. Construction of the training walls is such that in the event of erosion, the outer edges of the apron relocate into the eroded seabed to prevent undermining of the walls.

Talk:Apollonios Rhodios

message: Corrected some information, including: the placement in “Ancient Greece” (he was Hellenistic), who Apollonius succeeded as chief librarian (Zenodotus, the first to hold that position; Erastothenes was Apollonios’ successor), the names of the contemporary royalty of Alexandria, and some confused and inaccurate dates. Expanded biography using more modern sources and translations, and added brief discussion of the Argonautica itself.  Tried to use more accurate spelling of names.
What else would improve this article – more description of his non-Argonautika work, maybe? Should I split and expand the section on the Argonautika itself? I’d also like at least one other post-1900 translation or commentary, but I don’t know one that’s well-regarded. Aophite 06:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kallimachos

message: I did some revision of this entry, correcting the factual error that he was chief librarian, mentioning his feud with his student Apollonius Rhodius, his stylistic preference for the new very-short poetic style vs. the epic, and tried to cut down that disconnected floating-in-the-void sense a little by mentioning his patron and placing him in the Hellenistic period.  I also used a spelling that's a little more accurate than Latinized Callimachus.  I'm sure there are other edits that can be made - I would love some better sources re: his influence on Latin poets, which I don't know much about. Aophite 07:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Bellopheus, you’re that sure it’s a reference? What makes you think so? Was the monster in YF remote-controlled into singing “Puttin’ on the Ritz”? Was Chris dressed like the monster from YF when he sang “POTR”? Just the fact that the monster sang “POTR” in YF and Chris sang it in FG doesn’t make it a reference; I could just as easily claim it was a reference to Irving Berlin (or Taco Ockerse—FG is full of 1980s references). I’ll leave the  removed until I hear your explanation, however. I haven’t seen the FG episode in a while and there may be an additional similarity (beyond the same song being used) that I’ve forgotten. Felicity4711 22:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would assume someone at Nasa mistook the 51 in STS-51L to mean it was the 51st mission. That's not right. IIRC, the 5 stood for the 5th year of the program, the 1 stood for kennedy space center, and the L is an order number within that. --- PyTom 20:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Close. "5" meant that the mission was scheduled for Fiscal Year 1985 (October 1, 1984-September 30, 1985). If not for the Challenger Disaster, one of the missions in 1986 would have been the first to use the "2" in the second position, launching from Vandenberg Air Force Base as a test of Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6 or "Slick 6").

message: I did a cleanup, and noticed that much of the content is taken from http://doc.govt.nz/Explore/002~Tracks-and-Walks/Great-Walks/Kepler-Track/index.asp
so I replaced the map reference with this reference. There may be an issue with the Crown copyright - it may be ok for Wikipedia to use the content without permission, but for any commercial use (e.g. licensing of Wikipedia), the licensee would have to license the content from the DOC.
I did email DOC before posting that content, i think its public domain.  Thorney
Also, I recommend that further info on accomodation, shops, tramping info go into WikiTravel instead of this article. The reason I mention that is because it appeared from the wikilink for equipment hire (that I converted back to a regular word) that someone was trying to create a link to a tramping store.

All current editions of these publications list the walk as 60 or 60.1 km so I believe that is the correct figure. I also believe the distances between the hits in the new DOC 2006/2007 pamphlet and 2003 Kepler Track Parkmap to be the correct distances to use.
