message: Ref #11 says "Alexandre le Grand", Roger Caratini, p.170.  From what I can tell, Roger Caratini never wrote a book called "Alexandre le Grand".  He wrote several, but not that one.  AB Bosworth, however, did write a book by that title.  Also, both authors seem to be French, though the part of the article being sourced is in English. Can someone clarify? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course he wrote it, and it is one of the most famous biographies on Alexander for historians in the south of Europe. Just a search on Amazon to confirm it would have sufficed. The fact that it is not translated into English doesn't mean that the book does not exist. Why not searching info. before questioning references? --Bucephala 21:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I had seen this line here: "Alexander was a very handsome man and liked to ejectulate while watching britney spears 'Gimme gimme more video' other thaan that Alexander the Great was a homosexual." I don't think it should be included in the article since it talks about someone from the past. I just thought of informing the people that edits this page.Thanks!Valefor1023 21:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry about that. I don't know how much and how to delete the content in this article since I'm kindda new here. I was reading this article and saw that line. I don't wanna ruin the article. Anyways, thanks for re-editing of the page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valefor1023 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm currently reading Valerio Massimos semi-fictional trilogy on Alexander the Great. It seems to put quite a lot of focus on his marriage to Stateira (daughter of Darius III) yet she isn't included in this article. Actually, none of the articles I've found regarding Alexander seem to give much notice to Stateira, and the article about Stateira II is just a stub. 
Is her involvment with Alexander not as significant as I thought it was?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.239.66.41 (talk) 09:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I haven't edited for awhile, but I came across this and have to point out that Heracles was certainly mentioned shortly after Alexander's death in the succession struggle.  Nearchus, Barsine's son-in-law and so brother in law to Heracles put his name forward as a candidate for the kingship, but it was rejected.  I'll check back in a few days, with the proper cite.

replies: text: The article is somewhat aimless. The lead, a summary of the article, is but one sentence. Is that because there is nothing to summerise? I am not inclined enough or knowledgeable enough to make the necessary changes myself. Also, what is 'straight-washed'? Roger 8 Roger (talk) 09:04, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The Achilles and Patroclus wikipedia page has this same issue. Very obsessed straight men who can't handle a little gay. But this article does seem a bit aimless, as Roger points out. Unfortunately, we will may see a bit of vandalism because of the right-wing tantrum throwing over the new Netflix doc, something that we delt with other at Ethnicity of Cleopatra.

message: In the final sentence of the aforementioned section, there is a colon apparently prefacing a missing quotation. Do we know what this quote was supposed to say? Otherwise, I'd suggest deleting the sentence. Mdrewcaffin (talk) 02:14, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
