Would the following link be innappropriate?

It's really informative, on the one hand; but on the other, it could be construed as advertising. Doops 03:33, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's good. For every publisher (or other commercial operation, for that matter) we want to link to their main page, after all they're their own main authority on what they do. Great article, BTW, make sure it's linked from more places, ancient Rome and so forth. Stan 03:57, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

message: I've never been sure how "Loeb" is pronounced. Is it "lobe", as of an ear, or "low ebb", like the tide?--Oxonian2006 19:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The former. Wareh 23:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although Ezra Pound was wont to call it the "Low Ebb" series, presumably referring to the quality of the translations. (He also liked to refer to the publisher New Directions as "Nude Erections".) Deor (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The family name of the founder is pronounced like English 'lobe', hence that pronunciation.JESL2 (talk) 21:58, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Since there are so many of the older loeb editions on the internet archive. Would some public-spirited person do a search to find out just which are there - and add links beside the individual works listed in this article? Jagdfeld (talk) 20:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This listing may be of use: Downloebables. Wareh (talk) 03:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Except it is very incomplete. E.g. all 4 vols of Euripedes are on the IA - no sign of that on the downloadables list. Jagdfeld (talk) 11:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: fairly literal translation

message: It violates it. It is tiresome that we have to have this discussion but it appears we must. A list of all the titles published in a series clearly and unambiguously runs afoul of the policy. 67.164.156.42 (talk) 07:47, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: In my view, bibliographic information of this kind is useful and has a place in an encyclopaedia. I see no reason to regard this as a violation of WP:DIRECTORY. --Hegvald (talk) 16:34, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

text: Which of the seven points at WP:DIRECTORY is supposed to be at issue here? I don't see how any of them applies. And I say this as someone who expressed ambivalence about the list in the past (see prev. disc.). I have come around to the view that a complete listing should stand. No one thinks it's strange if articles about other notable phenomena include a list of all the instances (records of a certain band, species of a certain genus). The LCL is plenty notable and the titles it comprises seem to me to be encyclopedic information. Wareh (talk) 14:59, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The list of works and NOTDIRECTORY 

message: Hello, friends. I don't want to relitigate anything from the past. I can see you've debated about whether the list should be on this page, and there is no need to rehash that. My question is about the organization of the list. As of now, the Greek list is organized by topic (poetry, drama, history, etc.), but the Latin list is purely by author. Should we add categories to the Latin list so that it is comparable to the Greek list? Yes, we might have some authors appearing in multiple sections, but it will perhaps make the Latin list more useful. - Amphipolis (talk) 15:28, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is my initial organization based on the categories of the Greek. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Amphipolis/sandbox Amphipolis (talk) 16:16, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've made the changes proposed. If you disagree, you can roll back, but please let's talk about improving the organization of the Latin list. The simple, alphabetical list does not seem as useful as the categorized list that governs the Greek texts. Amphipolis (talk) 15:45, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
