Talk:Cylon of Athens

message: What is the meaning of "Cylon"?--80.141.184.244 (talk) 17:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning of "Cylon" 

message: In an unrelated conversation, someone made the following claim:
"Actually, I would say that many serious scholars take the existence of Cylon of Athens as a historical figure as a fact, despite no contemporary evidence, and no mention at all until Herodotus, writing almost two centuries after Cylon"
None of this is referenced in this article, so we need to find citations that establish whether, indeed, serious scholars do or do not take the existence of Cylon of Athens as a historical figure as a fact. Does anyone have a cite that establishes that? --Guy Macon (talk) 06:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: (Sound of Crickets...) --Guy Macon (talk) 08:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the silence has been deafening for some time, but I happened to be looking at this talk page today (more than three years after the question was first proposed!), and I can confirm that at least some serious scholars do in fact take the existence of Cylon as historical fact.  Andrewes, writing in Volume III part 3 of the Cambridge Ancient History, calls Cylon's attempted coup "the first clearly attested event in Athenian history" (p.368-9).  There has been some debate about precisely when Cylon's attempted coup was (Andrewes thinks 636 or one of the Olympic years soon after), but it seems fairly well agreed that it happened. (Further back, John Henry Wright, in 1892, published a 70+ page paper on the question, which among other things lists no fewer than 22 scholars who had put forth a theory on the dates up to that time, and in French Edmond Levy tackled the question in the 70s (though my French isn't good enough to actually follow the paper with the cursory glance I gave it).  This is by no means an exhaustive account, because the question of Cylon's dates are very much peripheral to what I'm actually currently looking at.)

Talk:Cerritos College

message: Currently the location is given as Norwalk California.  According to this official map of the City of Cerritos, the west half of the campus is in Cerritos.  The border dissects the campus along the walkway between the Student Union in Norwalk and the quad, music department and the majority of classroom buildings being in Cerritos.  That would put the administration buildings in Cerritos, even though the official mailing address is Norwalk.  Since the history section focuses on Dairy Valley controversy, there might even be some spiteful legacy to the address.  I can't state that factually.  I'll leave this message up for a while to see if anyone can present any argument why the geographic identity should not be modified. Trackinfo (talk) 22:47, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

message: On April 28, this article was nominated for deletion. The discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Christian Prince. The result was keep. —Xezbeth 14:42, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Not sure if the article needs to be deleted, but it definitely needs to be rewritten and sources added.
new comment: The article would definitely benefit from more sourcing. I was a juror on the first trial, and while it was a long time ago, am rather certain "felony murder" was not one of the four counts. My recollection is the other three were as described but the fourth was "attempted murder", and I recall this because it was one of the details that hung up the jury deliberations on that count. Perhaps the second trial adjusted the accusation? Also, the trial evidence in the first trial indicated there were four passengers in the car, not just two: Dunc, Randy and two others, reportedly gang members un-named and never brought up as witnesses (Randy referred to them, but denied they ever stopped.) Again, a long time ago, but those other two witnesses were a major reason for acquittal on murder and the hung jury on the attempted murder: doubt about whether it might have been the other two. The prosecution interviewed me after the trial in prep for the second trial and I mentioned this, they their reasons for not bringing them to the stand (seasoned criminal vets, good liars on the stand) and they probably struck their entire reference to them in the re-trial. But my anecdotal recount is not a source, and I've had my share of this miscarriage of justice that I'm not going to do the legwork to sort it out (he was guilty of all four if you ask me, just lousy prosecution) but anyone interested in this story should find more sources to get it right. 198.72.196.147 (talk) 19:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Konstantin Aseev

message: I have removed the assertion that Aseev had a plus record against Khalifman. I'm not sure this would be something worth pointing out in the article anyway (Aseev, after all, had plus records against a lot of players), but in any case, I don't think it's true. The games in the Chessbase Mega Database 2004 between the two players are:
*Aseev-Khalifman, USSR U26 Championship 1985 (Lvov), 1-0
*Khalifman-Aseev, Leningrad 1989, 0-1
*Aseev-Khalifman, USSR Championship 1990, 1/2-1/2
*Aseev-Khalifman, German Team Cup 1991, 1/2-1/2
*Aseev-Khalifman, St Petersburg 1995, 0-1
*Khalifman-Aseev, St Petersburg Championship 1996, 1-0
*Aseev-Khalifman, Mikenas Memorial 1997, 0-1
*Aseev-Khalifman, St Petersburg Championship 1997, 1/2-1/2
*Khalifman-Aseev, St Petersburg 1997, 1-0
*Khalifman-Aseev, St Petersburg Championship 1998, 1-0
*Khalifman-Aseev, Russian Championship 1998, 1/2-1/2
To that we can add the following games not given there but given at chessgames.com:
*Khalifman-Aseev, USSR 1983, 0-1
*Aseev-Khalifman, USSR 1988, 1/2-1/2
By my reckoning, that's a record of +3 =5 -5 for Aseev.
It may be, of course, that there are other games given in neither of these sources which do indeed show Aseev has a positive record; if that's so, then by all means, state what that source is and prove me wrong!--Camembert 14:54, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
