Talk:Marcia gens

message: This article, like many other articles on Roman gentes, functions more like a disambiguation page than an article. (I don't have a problem with that, as it's a technical stylebook issue.) Therefore, I removed the label that said it needed citations; it doesn't. It links to articles on individuals where presumably the brief facts given here on each are supported. It is also not orphaned, unless I'm misunderstanding that term. It links to many articles; few articles will link to it, because it mainly serves as a first stop when you're trying to figure out which Marcius you need. If the person adding the labels in October 2008 wants something else from the article, I suggest commenting here on the talk page. The article could probably use some further organization, but there are a lot of Marcii. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Marcius Turbo

message: Hi,
The bulk of the article appears to be based on a 'research project' by 67.111.218.66. (Cf. the history page). While 67.111.218.66 unearthed and collated a lot of valuable information about Turbo, there is, in my opinion, way too much background here - quite appropriate in a stand-alone essay, but less so in biographical article in a hyperlinked encyclopedia. Therefore I propose to rewrite the article in a more compact form. How's that?

Talk:Marius Maximus

message: With the name attributed to this man, who might well be fictional, if not because some other men mention him and his works, should not a good source try to translate his name?  Just the words "Marius Maximus" should raise a few alarms?  Just how would any of you translate it?  I might well consider that it means nothing more than "Maxium War!"  His so called other names should also raise a few alarms?, as should the family's connection to fighting both a "caesar" named "Black" (Niger) and one named "White" (Albinus!)!  This seems most alarming, at least to me!
His full name is listed in most sources as " Lucius Perpetuus Aurelianus Marius Maximus ", and I will conceed that Lucius could actually be a name, meaning most probably "Light?", maybe he was skinny?  But "Perpetuus Aurelianus", should mostly be considered to mean, in a real translation as "Always Golden", or some variation thereof!  Going all the way the full name could well have been or should have been translated as "the Great Golden Light for ever Warring!", or some other obscene or ridiculous meaning!69.92.23.64 (talk) 23:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Pomponius Mela

message: This article strikes me as being unnecessarily critical.  Apart from the rather prosaic lede  It is laconic in style and deficient in method, but of pure Latinity, and occasionally relieved by pleasing word-pictures, this section seems unreasonably negative:
Mela's descriptive method is peculiar and inconvenient. Instead of treating each continent separately he begins at the Straits of Gibraltar, and describes the countries adjoining the south coast of the Mediterranean; then he moves round by Syria and Asia Minor to the Black Sea, and so returns to Spain along the north shore of the Euxine, Propontis, etc. After treating the Mediterranean islands, he next takes the ocean littoral—to west, north, east and south successively—from Spain and Gaul round to India, from India to Persia, Arabia and Ethiopia; and so again works back to Spain round South Africa. Like most classical geographers he conceives of the continent as surrounded by sea and not extending very far south.
The Roman Empire began as a Mediteranean power, that developed within a broader Mediteranean culture, with teh northern parts of the Empire being added later.  Furthermore, it is my understanding that in the ancient world, trade and cultureal exchange tended to be along the coasts more than penetrating inland.  As such, an approach of "these are the Mediteranean countries; and these are the peripheral countries" seems to me to be quite reasonable. Wardog (talk) 14:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Mucia Tertia

message: In the first sentence of the second paragraph, it indicates that Sulla instructed Pompey to marry Mucia in order to cement their political alliance with each other, but it looks like someone must have conflated Mucia Tertia (Pompey's third wife) with Aemilia Scaura (Pompey's second wife); see:
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Pompey*.html#9

Talk:Saurian

message: I disagree that Saurian should redirect to dinosaur. Saurian is the archaic term for a (usually large and extinct) reptile. It might refer to a dinosaur. It might refer to a plesiosaur, icthyosaur, pterosaur, archosauromorph, crocodilian, mosasaur or pelycosaur. It might even refer to a living reptile such as a monitor.To equate saurian unequivocally with dinosaur is scientifically, historically and etymologically incorrect. And a reference to a character in a video game is, I suggest, of little interest. I would suggest that the article saurian should contain a short description, with a reference to dinosaur, as well as other fossil reptiles.--Gazzster 09:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Saurian does not equal dinosaur 

message: I propose that "Saurian" redirect to Star Fox Adventures, since that's the lanugage spoken in Adventures.

Talk:IAR 95

message: This is the "official" story af the FC-1, from: http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/fighter/fc1.asp
In 1986 China signed a US$550 million agreement with Grumman to modernise its J-7 (Chinese copy of the MiG-21 Fishbed) fighter aircraft under the "Super-7" upgrade project. Western companies from the US and Britain were competing to provide the engine and avionics. The project was cancelled in early 1990, in the wake of the cooling of political relations with the West, as well as in response to a 40% increase in the cost of the project. However, Chengdu managed to continue the programme with its own resources and the project was re-branded as FC-1 (Fighter China-1).
Yet, I see a striking similarity in looks and performances, and we can't have an article that states:
The IAR-95 looked identical to the Chinese FC-1, a joint Chinese-Pakistani fighter jet designed in the 1990s. There was some cooperation between the military industries of Romania and China so it is likely that the design for the IAR-95 was sold to China and became the FC-1.
Note: Please refer to the FC-1 page for FC-1 information. IAR 95 is NOT related to FC-1.
So I restated the paragraph. --Laur2ro 14:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tiberius Claudius Nero

message: Can I make a suggestion.  A similar problem has come up at a completely different project (console games), and a solution suggested there was to create text list articles (as opposed to link list articles) for topics where the topic as a whole is notable (eg in your case Roman magistrates called Tiberius Claudius Nero) but where not enough info exists on each Tiberius Claudius Nero to create anything more than a sub-stub.  The advantages of a text list article over a dab is that you can include a sentence or two on each subject, you don't need links to everything, and you can redirect to section headers, allowing you to create a redirect for each entry. You can then perfectly properly disambiguate between any Tiberii CNs that have articles, and the list of other TCNs. Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:52, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Elen. You understand the issues clearly. These praetors will probably never have articles, because not enough is known about each; however, someone reading Livy — and there are a number of such readers regularly on Wikipedia, particularly those interested in military history — may encounter these guys, and maybe try to look them up to clarify who's who.

Talk:Udo Zimmermann

message: This edit in the German Wikipedia (edit summary: die Oper heißt nur "Weiße Rose" ohne das "die" (oft auch auf CDs etc. falsch)) triggered some research on my part on the name of Zimmermann's opera Weiße Rose — whether there is "Die" in the title or not. I found numerous web references to both versions, but the clincher was the publisher's catalogue which confirmed the omission of "Die": first version, second version, both versions on one page (select "Deutsch" from the language selection box at the top of the page to see the German title). See also , particularly these 2 images. I then changed the title on this page and presented the sources at Talk:Die weiße Rose (opera), together with a suggestion to move that page to its proper title.
 then  with the edit summary: "fix opera title per spelling in Grove". Apart from the fact that Grove is not infallible, in this particular case I find that, despite Nrswanson's assertion, they partially support my finding. The article on Udo Zimmermann at Oxford Music OnlineLars Klingberg. "Zimmermann, Udo." Grove Music Online. (subscription access) uses "Weisse Rose" twice, and the page there on Zimmermann's works does. too — their erroneous usage of "ss" notwithstanding. I did notice that the Grove list of Zimmermann's works uses Die Weisse Rose for the first version, but that is trumped in my opinion by the publisher's use of the title without "Die" and Grove's own use on Zimmermann's page. At any rate, the second version is the one which is now performed.
I suggest Nrswanson revert the title to its proper version. Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... it seems odd to me that there would be such a consistant error across numerous sources. However, given that the actual recording of the work is titled "Weiße Rose", I too am now persuaded to change the title per Michael's suggestion. On a side note, I think it may be possible that the original version may have been titled "Die weiße Rose" but the revised version was renamed just "Weiße Rose". I recall reading something like that somewhere but for the life of me I can't remember now where it was (if I remember correctly it was an article in German). If that's the case it certainly would explain why several different sources have used Die weiße Rose and others just Weiße Rose.Nrswanson (talk) 21:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
