:I agree. I'm trying to disambig the Israeli currency and can't figure out what to put in "this article is about...". Valley2city 17:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Definition of agora

message: And the fact next to it... I know that agora has an accent on the first A in greek, but I do not believe that is so in English. In English, I believe we say ag-O-ra. Do you agree? -Panther (talk) 10:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The verb forms for αγοράζω (agorázō) and αγορεύω (agoreýō) are clearly first person present.  I've checked in Liddell and Scott, and for some reason they translate this form as the infinitive.  I'm not 100% sure what the correct infinitive forms are, so I've change the English translations.
Liddell and Scott say nothing about the state of dress for αγορεύω, so presumably it's not part of the word.  I've removed the word "naked".  Groogle (talk) 07:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The picture of the 'agora' of Thessaloniki you have there is actually the Roman Forum of Thessaloniki, it was built after the death of Alexander the Great by the Romans so therefore its not an Agora... =P 94.67.213.196 (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Forum of Thessaloniki, not Agora

message: Is "agora" capitalized? I know the article title is, but when its in the middle of sentence (e.g., "Later, the Agora...")? I would think not, but am not sure of the controlling rule. Herostratus (talk) 05:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it is, and I just decapped that and some other random words in the article.  If it were part of the name of a specific place, I guess it would become a proper noun, but I think as a standalone word - in English - it is not. And my Chambers agrees.

thread_title:  Capitalization? 

message: The second sentence in this article says this of agora:
"It is the best representation of city form’s response to accommodate the social and political order of the polis."
Would most readers know that a polis is a city state in ancient Greece?  Shouldn't polis at least be a link to the Wikipedia entry for the word?  And what is "city form"?  And response to what?  Not "to" in the sense of objective (which we know to be accommodation), but "to" in the sense of agency, i.e. what evoked the response?  And what does it mean to accommodate an order?
I *think* this is trying to say that as city states formed in ancient Greece, central open spaces known as agoras often served an important role by providing a meeting area for political and social discourse, or something of the sort.  Is that close?  Would it be worth the effort to try to make this sentence clearer? AmigoNico (talk) 01:17, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

message: :Athenian Agora already redirects to the existing :Ancient Agora of Athens. How would a new article at Athenian Agora not duplicate Ancient Agora of Athens? - Donald Albury 16:48, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: agreed that there's no need for a new article for what could be in Ancient Agora of Athens; that being said, it is true that four sections specifically on the Athenian agora in this article (out of six!) is probably excessive!
