message: Badian From Plataea to Potidaea (1993) pp.79-80 argues that 424 is based on a misreading of Thucydides 4.50-2. 423 is supported by texts in the Murasu archive.

message: "Artakhshastra" is used at the top, and in the text, "Artakhshasta" (without the 'r') is used as the transliteration of the hebrew. Are they referring to different things, or is one incorrect? Could someone please correct? --Storkk 22:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. I see it's the persian that is being transliterated. My bad. --Storkk 12:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Name inconsistencies

message: Being a rampant Hellenist, it pained me to change Themistokles to Themistocles.  Yet, it is incongruous to have this being the one and only Hellenized entry on this page.

thread_title: Fratricide

message: I noticed that the opening sentence of the article on Xerxes I reads:
"Xerxes I of Persia <snip> also known as Xerxes the Great (519–465 BC), was the fifth of the king of the kings of the Achaemenid Empire".
The opening sentence of this article reads:
"Artaxerxes I <snip> was the fifth King of Kings of Persia from 465 BC to 424 BC. He was the son of Xerxes I of Persia and Amestris, daughter of Otanes".
Which is somewhat contradictory. 
In the interests of consistency and clarity, I've edited this article so that it reads:
Artaxerxes I /ˌɑrtəˈzɜrksiːz/ (Persian: اردشیر یکم; Old Persian: 𐎠𐎼𐎫𐎧𐏁𐏂𐎠 Artaxšaça,[1] "whose rule (xšaça < *xšaϑram) is through arta (truth)";[2] Greek: Ἀρταξέρξης[3]) was the fifth (or sixth, if one counts Bardiya, who may have reigned for a few months in 522 BC, in between the reigns of Cambyses II and Darius I) King of Kings of Persia from 465 BC to 424 BC."
Hope that's OK. Gnu Ordure (talk) 21:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I've noticed several articles on Classical Persia with little to no reference to Zoroastrianism when there was in the past. Is this part of a campaign? It needs to be stopped: from the Encyplopedia Iranica article "It has been suggested that under Artaxerxes, about 441 B.C., a new and distinctly Zoroastrian calendar, copying the Egyptian one, was promulgated in the empire" Nothing overblown, but relevant nonetheless. It is more relevant to mention his religion for Wikipedia which is a general encyclopedia as one imagines that the editors and readers of specialized encyclopedias take certain basic, essential, facts for granted: Artaxerxes was bipedal, for instance, is probably on par with his Zoroastrian religion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:1800:6D:E175:9D4C:4363:D2D2 (talk) 03:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  A troubling observation 

message: I am a cancer biologist and familiar with the gene.  What is suggested in the "Medical analysis" section is pure conjecture.  The cited article is published in a very specific context in a journal with a specific impact profile.  The suggestion undermines the accuracy of other sections. I respectfully suggest that it be either fully detailed or preferably removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneshat (talk • contribs) 05:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Role of NF1 as stated in the Medical analysis section is pure conjecture; I respectfully suggest that it be removed . 

message: The article says "Although this decree is assumed to have occurred on 13 March 444 B.C, the Biblical passage does not state an exact date nor has any historical record been found to confirm it." Yet the Bible clearly states it was given in the 21st year of Artaxerxes I. Do we not know when Artaxerxes began his reign? Since we do, the date is not an assumption, and the Bible does state "an exact date". How can we reword this or should we simply remove it?

replies: text: Removed it. A reference to the nearest year in the bible does not give sufficient accuracy for a date to a specific date. There is no reference for the assumption.5.198.10.236 (talk) 11:49, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
