Talk:Nestor's Cup

message: Not all scholars think that the Pithekoussai inscription alludes to the Iliad. As Jonathan Burgess puts it, "a reference to Nestor's cup is not necessarily a reference to Iliad 11.632-637, for Nestor's cup could have existed in mythology independently of Homer..." (The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle, 114). For a more detailed objection, see this book review of The Returns of Odysseus. I changed some parts of the article to reflect this scholarly opinion, and will probably add a bit more soon. Akhilleus 07:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The third cup listed as "A clay drinking vessel of the 8th century BC found at Pithekoussai, Magna Graecia, which bears a famous inscription calling itself Nestor's cup."
was supposedly found on the island Ischia near Naples.   It would appear that Ischia isn't really within the scope of Magna Graecia as defined.Eregli bob (talk) 23:38, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Beaconsfield, Victoria

message: Just looking at the website link regarding the post offices. My reading of it is the Upper Beaconsfield Post Office was opened in 1878 but that one in what is now called Beaconsfield wasn't opened until 1883 (which would make sense as the railway station wasn't built until 1881).

Talk:Cockatoo, Victoria

message: The section on 'services' included a listing for 'Cockatoo Bogan Association'. A quick Google search finds no evidence of the existence of such a club (the only place on the entire internet it's mentioned is this page), so I concluded the association doesn't exist and is vandalism. I removed the reference accordingly. Many of the articles relating to town in the Dandenong Ranges are peppered with references to 'bogans', and is probably the work of a single vandal.220.244.196.37 (talk) 13:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Today this article was edited by user 120.21.170.254 where after three attempts the parameter Mayor was added with the name Tony Keach. However the name of the mayor did not display in the article. I changed the parameter to mayor but it still does not seem to work. As far as I can see this is a valid parameter.The article Adelaide (and probably others) also seems to contain this parameter without it being displayed.  What am I missing?

replies: text: "Mayor" is only a valid parameter when the infobox type is "lga". Cockatoo is not an "lga" (short for local government area) and therefore does not have its own Mayor. Cockatoo is part of the :Shire of Cardinia of whom the Mayor is Graeme Moore. I would suggest the IP is a vandal looking to add himself or a friend to the article as "Mayor".

Talk:Henricus Regius

message: The following bio, which came from a page found only in Google Cache.  This text MAY be copyrighted, and should NOT be used verbatim in the article.  Once I'm done with it, I'll remove it from talk.  
:Hendrik de Roy ( Henricus Regius) was descended from a distinguished family, and born the son of Justus de Roy and Tilia Wilkersloot. He was educated by his uncle the lawyer Hadrianus de Roy. R. Enrolled in Law at Franeker, but soon went to Groningen, where he matriculated in Medicine on 22 October 1617. However, he did not remain at Groningen either, but was inscribed at Leiden on 24 September 1618 at the age of 20. He studied there under Heurnius and Bontius. After some years R. Undertook a long journey to Italy; robbed of his money he was forced to join the French Military service, but continued his journey afterwards and graduated MD at Padua on 29 March 1623... After his return he settled in practice somewhere in East-Friesland. In 1625 he was unsalaried town physician at Utrecht, and in 1630 practising physician and rector of the grammar school at Naarden... In 1634 R. returned to Utrecht, where he married Maia de Swart on 21 January 1634....Under the influence of his neighbour in the ' Munster schans' street, the professor of philosophy H. Reneri, R. Became acquainted with the new anti- Aristotelian views of Descartes; soon he was an enthusiastic admirer and follower of the French philosopher. On 10 July 1638 R.was appointed professor extraordinary of medicine at the Utrecht University founded two years earlier. In the next year, R. became full professor. R. taught theoretical medicine and botany. In his lectures R. did not conceal his Cartesian views, on the contrary. . Rgeius's anti-Aristotelian philosophy caused much concern and unrest in the univeristiy. The professor of theology, G. Voetius, became his opponent. Finally it was resolved that only the philosphia pernnius was to be taught at the Unveirsity. Gradually Regius became more and more independent of Decartes. The 
estrangement which arose became complete after the publication of his Fundamenta Physices in Amsterdam in 1646."

thread_title:  WHAT? 

message: Although small, there is undoubtably error in the statement "In other words, Arcanine is a cross between a dog and a liger." It is mentioned earlier in the article that Arcanine possesses markings and a build similar to that of a tiger, but that it also possesses a mane similar to that of male lion. While it may appear obvious that a liger could be used as an example instead of both a lion and a tiger, it simply can't. Ligers cannot possess a mane similar to that of a male lion, due to the fact that they are the hybrid offspring of a male tiger and a female lion, and they generally don't possess markings similar to those of a tiger. To take things a step further, a tigon, the hybrid offspring of a male lion a female tiger, may possess a mane similar, and stress similar, to that of a lion, and they may also possess markings similar to those of a tiger, making Arcanine more similar to a mix of a dog and a tigon. The best thing to do, though, would be to simply take out the statement. Anyone else have some thoughts on this? -- The M.P. 20:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
