Talk:Cellini Salt Cellar

message: "Planet Earth" indeed! Where would one begin explaining? To begin at the beginning, the Cellini Salt is the more idiomatic name by which this item is known and published in English. --Wetman 23:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think the infobox adds anythging here, and makes the picture smaller. The Visual arts project is against the blanket use of infoboxes on VA articles & unless anyone objects I will remove it in a few days. Johnbod (talk) 14:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well why does this template exist to begin with then? Also see Venus of Willendorf. Gryffindor 11:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. ...and while we discuss why this template exists to begin with, let's not display it pointlessly here, where it makes no contribution of information, which is the basis of the encyclopedia. --Wetman (talk) 16:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Introducing the less-aqggressive Infobox: a mouseclick on the discreet strip displays as much nonsense as you want to put in it. This may be the solution to dealing with the Box People.--Wetman (talk) 21:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: is there a way to put the text not centered at the top of the page?  like right justify up against the show button?  --Rocksanddirt (talk) 22:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Can anyone achieve this? I'm no adept at html. A click on the tab will show anyone interested that the infobox text is all there, untouched, ready for viewing. ---Wetman (talk) 01:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: "...Neptune, god of the sea, and Ceres, goddess of the earth, symbolizing their unity in producing salt mined from the earth."  Isn't Ceres  the Roman goddess of agriculture, not of the earth? Shouldn't it be Terra Mater?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.0.7 (talk) 22:37, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I like your point.  I read the portion of Cellini's autobiography pertaining to the design of this object, and it doesn't say anything about either Neptune or Ceres.  It says, roughly, the sea represented by a male figure, and the earth represented by a female figure.  The lead paragraph of the article does say it that way, but the second mention with Ceres and Neptune makes it sound like it's expanding that information when it's actually--apparently--an editor's interpretation.  A revision seems to be in order.  Input? Richigi (talk) 22:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
