Talk:Agricola (book)

message: The first line has the literal translation of De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae as On the life and character of Julius Agricola. The latin word de does not mean on, but rather down from, about, or concerning. So perhaps for a literal translation, this should be fixed. Captain Gamma (talk) 18:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  literal title 

message: I have extended the summary section to better reflect all aspects of the Agricola's contents.

Talk:Dialogus de oratoribus

message: * Talk:Dialogus — Dialogus → Dialogus de oratoribus – "Dialogus" is a widespread abbreviation of the full title, but only when used in conjunction with the author's name, viz. "Tacitus, Dialogus" or "Tac. Dial."). By itself Dialogus is not unique: it just means "dialogue". Petrouchka 04:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Histories (Tacitus)

message: Just wondering about the point about Tacitus definitely supporting adoptive emperor system. I'm not disagreeing with it: This is probably correct. But I think that the wording in the article is so emphatic and the subject matter of the sentence important enough (the political opinions of one of our primary sources on the Roman Empire) that surely it merits some quote to back it up. Simply for the sake of the article. Just a suggestion. Rigourous (talk) 12:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article currently says that "At the beginning of the year AD 69, six months after the death of Nero, Tacitus started working on his Histories", which is cited to "Tacitus and the Writing of History by Ronald H. Martin 1981  pages 104-105". I've got to assume that the editor who inserted it misunderstood the cited work, because in AD 69 Tacitus was 13. The events covered begin at the beginning of AD 69. The previous paragraph says the Histories were written in 100-110, which is rather more plausible. Can someone with access to the cited book check the accuracy of the cite? --Nicknack009 (talk) 09:47, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Dubious

message: I'm unclear about the utility of this section. Yes, Tacitus expressed an ideology in his histories -- he was a Roman Senator, & as conservative & elitist as any in his social group. But wouldn't this be better set forth in the biographical article on the man? The textual history of this work, on the other hand, should be included, as well as the influence of this work, best as we know it. -- llywrch (talk) 18:23, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Hellenic polytheism/Archive 1

message: Hi, this is 129.130.19.7.  I've never edited anything on Wikipedia before so please be patient with me... I'm doing my best to follow the rules.  Normally, I wouldn't edit at all, but when I saw that all of the information on Hellenismos as a religion had been deleted, I had to do something.  A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into writing up that information and I hardly think it's fair for someone to delete it without even explaining why.  I don't know what the motivation was, but it smacks of deleting material on religions one happens to disagree with.
If the idea was that it's not necessary for this information to be on Wikipedia, I should point out that how I discovered this drastic revision was through having several people ask me why there wasn't any information about Hellenismos as a religion on Wikipedia.  Obviously, people are looking for this info.  Please just leave it be.
Just noticed to page was vandalised too. This subject is a frequent target for hardline Greek Orthodox Christians. - user:Voyelles
Is there a reason this page is separate from Greek reconstructionism?  As far as I can tell, that term is more common in English, and avoids the problem with the fact that "Hellenismos" is just the Greek word for Hellenism, which has many meanings other than this one. --Delirium 23:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are people who practice Hellenismos but who do not consider themselves reconstructionists (and vice versa).  Perhaps we could merge this article and Greek reconstructionism into an article called Hellenic polytheism, which seems to be a neutral and widely accepted term.  The problem with doing that is that Greek reconstructionism is in the middle of an edit war turned ad hominem and I would hate for that to spread any further than it already has.  -- AdelaMae 00:51, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hellenic polytheism sounds reasonable, although that title is still somewhat ambiguous: Many people, when they say "Hellenic polytheism", mean Ancient Greek religion or Greek mythology, rather than its modern counterpart.  Would Modern Hellenic polytheism be considered neutral?  As for Greek reconstructionism, perhaps we should wait to see if it settles down before trying to merge it anywhere. --Delirium 01:14, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm currently writing a page about the Leitai fighing platform of old. My initial research showed the Leitai first appeared during the Tang and Song dynasties. However, I read on this page that it was in use well into the Qin Dynasty. I've contacted the Guoshu organization that this info was linked too and they told me that both Qing and Tang/Song dynasties were correct. They told me that the Qin Dynasty info was taken from an ancient Chinest text translated by the Guoshu department of the University of Chinese culture in Taipei, Taiwan. I wrote them back in the hopes of getting the actual name of this text so it can be added to both this and the Leitai page.

thread_title:  Lovely article 

message: The article claims he was not allowed to have even a pencil and that he narrated his works orally, but then later states that he was later able to write the stories down.
This needs to be clarified. I think there is little doubt that he WAS writing things on paper--scraps of paper, I think I have read/heard--and that somehow he got manuscripts back to Java. This I have never seen explained. While the tetralogy--a fictional story--could conceivably have been remembered and written back on Java (but not what happened, I believe), for other works like his book on comfort women, that is simply not possible.
I don't have interviews and other references on hand, so I can't resolve this contradiction, but perhaps others can.
One simple--but not ideal--solution would be to add the words "at times" before the statement about the pencil. I don't know if regulations changed, or the authorities looked away...and that could influence the accuracy even of this simple patch.
Either way, the article is obviously "wrong" because of the contradiction. (Dewobroto (talk) 03:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
