message: I have removed the reference to "Quintus Smyrnaeus, The Fall of Troy BOOK 3 Death of Achilles [626], [770] Theoi.com" that was given as citation for the statement "She soon took it upon herself to prepare Achilles for the afterlife" (added, removed), as on checking the text it appears that these lines relate to Achilles's mother Thetis, and not to Briseis.  (see III.626, III.770).
Briseis is mentioned by Quintus Smyrnaeus - the index for the volume  gives hits for III, 552, 687; IV, 276; VII, 723; XIV, 216.  But I shall leave to others as to whether there is anything there worth noting in the main text of the article.  Jheald (talk) 16:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I think Maddeline Miller's physical description of her could also be added, I mean, why only have one description?
In the book The Song of Achilles, Briseis appears in chapter twenty one; here I will leave some passages about her looks Miller wrote in said chapter:
"She was beautiful, her skin a deep brown, her hair black and gleaming."
"The tunic she wore (...) made her look very young"
"She stared at me with those wide eyes. Her hair had been drawn back, revealing the delicate bones of her cheeks."
I have taken these passages from my own copy of the book, but I am sure you could find sources for them here in the internet.  Sorry I cannot give them myself though, I am busy and just wanted to leave this comment, as Miller's retelling of the Illiad is quite known. Either way, I do not really work for wikipedia, this is a mere comment by a mere reader of the site that happens to enjoy mythology a lot, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. However, I still hope my idea is considered :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.183.29.113 (talk) 01:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

message: Sacer translates more accurately as “untouchable” in this case. It was used in this sense in Classical Latin, and has Indo–European cognates, including in Sanskrit, where it means precisely “untouchable” or “fearsome”.

message: What's that part about the man could not be sacrificed as part of a religious ritual? Does anyone have access to the referenced text?

Talk:Uranium–thorium dating

message: I though it was measuring radioactive decay of uranium isotopes 238U and 235U?
:Not at all.  235U is commonly used in U-Pb dating (as it ultimately decays to 207Pb) and rarely in 235U-231Pa dating. 231Pa is an intermediate decay product in the 235 decay series much as 230Th is an intermediate decay product in the 238U decay series.  U-Pa dating is sometimes used as a check on U-Th dating (as any post-depositional alteration of a sample would affect the results of the two techniques differently) but not very often as it is analytically more difficult and has a much lower maximum age range than U-Th.

Talk:Cocktail sauce

message: To my knowledge, "cocktail sauce" is not a latter name for Marie Rose sauce. Nothing against either. "Cocktail sauce" seems to refer to the fact that the ketchup + horseradish sauce is primarily served with shrimp cocktail, so Marie Rose sauce is a cocktail sauce, but I don't think that needs to be added to the article. The Marie Rose sauce page clearly defines it as being a specific sauce served with a variety of dishes, so claiming that the name evolved to "cocktail sauce" limits its use and muddies its composition.

Talk:Writing of Principia Mathematica

message: Would it be possible to give a mention to Jeremiah Horrocks in this article? Although he was one of England's most brilliant astronomers and planetary dynamicists he seems to have faded into obscurity, although the work he did with William Crabtree on the 1639 Transit of Venus and observations and measurements he made that showed the Moon's orbit was elliptical, were crucial in the formation of ideas for Principia.

message: In it's first (real) paragraph, this article refers to itself. Not only is the reference turgid and difficult to decipher, it is also absurd. Wikipedia articles are not self-aware. (This would be recursive sourcing, or something like it.) If you absolutely must refer to a wikipedia article from within that article, you must be very careful.

I, personally, consider the use of the word "Brokeback" to mean "homosexual" as being a peculiar, sexual obsession (IMHO), since the most likely meaning, across broader society, would be "Brokeback" means "related to the film Brokeback Mountain."
