Talk:Astyanax

message: I hate adding "norefs" or "fact" tags but they could really be useful here. What are the sources for the stories about Astyanax? Unfortunately I only know the passage in the Metamorphoses about his death. Adam Bishop (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: I have removed the following quote from the article, given that it remains unattributed (text? author? translation?):
:...who threw the infant from a wall and told his mother "Since my father (Achilles) killed his father (Hector) he might try to avenge the death. He also could become King of Troy, and we want no more kings of Troy!" 
If someone can supply the source, feel free to bring the quote back to the main page. - NYArtsnWords (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't a better translation of Astyanax be "lord of the city" rather than "protector of the city"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.238.70 (talk) 15:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, whoever wrote that was just mistaken. They gave a reference to Beekes, but without a page number, and that seems to be because Beekes doesn't discuss it (under either ἄστυ or ἄναξ). They were probably confused because when Astyanax is introduced in the Iliad, it's said that he was called that by the people "for Hector alone protected Ilium."--2603:8000:8900:6E00:1D6A:5AD4:DC17:2E85 (talk) 02:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I did not find any source that substantiates any of the claims of this story, nor a "Ted Bravansky" or the alleged 12 residents. Appears to be a blatant hoax. This small island really exists, but it is uninhabited most of the time (no water supply), and without the hoax part, the article is a one-sentence stub which is beening abused to promote commercial excursions (snorkelling and binge drinking) to the island.

"Prickly Pear island" is a fairly common name in the region, there are a number of them in the eastern caribbean, so it's easy to see how the error was made. 70.48.217.87 (talk) 23:45, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  chemical mechanism of outgassing 

message: The article states essentially that outgassing is the emission of absorbed or adsorbed gas from an organic substance. Yet VOCs, particularly many types of plastics, can generate carcinogenic partial vapor pressure not because they have absorbed gas, but because they break down (depolymerize) due to time, light, and heat.
I'm not an expert, so I request that someone who understands this well add an appropriate article disabiguation header or else edit the article.

Talk:Bassnectar

message: I only learned of this guy today, heard he had over a twenty year career with a devoted fan base. I have no opinion of his music. But from this article structure, a naïve reader might think the only reason he has a Wikipedia article is because of recent legal issues: a glossed over career followed by a HIGHLY DETAILED sexual allegation section. Everyone loves controversy, but please, tone it back, folks, per good style, common sense, and WP:PROPORTION:   Writing a thorough and balanced article is more important than writing a "technically true" article lending undue weight towards whatever is in Rolling Stone or Vice this week. Making an article NPOV can involve removing content of less relevance, at least until the rest of the article can expand so that a controversy section doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. --Animalparty!

message: Note that a local history written in 1848 is considered to be superceeded by the Fasti - which are the "go to" for ecclesiastical tenure and information in medieval English history. A 1971 source will always be much more authoritative than an 1848 source, especially when they conflict. Ealdgyth - Talk 19:04, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The source for "official of the bishop" states that he was "Bp.'s official and rector of Bromley" - which means he was an official of the bishop. Probably a clerk who did assorted jobs for the bishop. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:38, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  NO. The source does NOT state uniequivically that he was from the place in Essex, merely that he possibly was from. Nor is anything said about him entering "holy orders" in the Fasti - so inserting that statement is inaccurate - he may have entered holy orders before his appointment to Bromly, but he may have entered them afterwards too - the source says nothing about that. Nor do we use primary sources such as digitized manuscripts from the British Library as sources. Nor does the Handbook say he died in Kent.
