Talk:Liu Yuan (Han-Zhao)

message: There seems to be some scholarly doubt whether Liu Yuan really was the son of (Liu) Bao. Rafe de Crespigny in his Biographical Dictionary of the Later Han, writes in his entry for Bao (listed as "Bao; Xiongnu" without surname): The Jin shu ... says that Bao held the Liu surname and was the father of Liu Yuan. The modern scholar Tang Changru, however, has argued that this was no more than a propaganda attempt to identify Liu Yuan with the great imperial lineages of the past. I do not have access to Tang's work, but it's worth noting that Bao must have been an old man (though not impossibly so) when Liu Yuan was born, as he can hardly have been born later than 180.

Talk:Marcellus of Ancyra

message: This article contains a reference to a non-existent Bible verse in the second paragraph:
At the consummation of all things, however (I Corinthians 20:28), Christ will return to the Father and the Godhead be again an absolute Unity. 
Does anybody know to which verse it refers? 1 Corinthians has only 16 chapters and 2 Corinthians has only 13. In the whole of the New Testament only 5 books have a 20th chapter. Of the 4 of these that contain a 28th verse, none refer to Christ returning to the Father in absolute unity or anything even close.
The closest I found to anything like this is 1 Cor. 15:28 "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." (KJV)

Talk:Paulus Catena

message: Someone was very excitable when they worked on this article. In Ammianus Marcellinus' account, Paulus Catena was not known throughout the Roman world for his cruelty; the historian simply says that he was given this nickname for his cruelty -- much like a local thug might be known as Henry "Finger-breaker" Smith. Further, there is no proof that his predations in Britian contributed to the decline of the local aristocracy there; this is nothing more than one unidentified person's opinion. One authority on Roman Britain, Sheppard Frere, notes that "it cannot have been easy for anyone of prominence in Britain to have avoioded involvement with the defeated side", but is silent about any connection between Paulus' actions & the impoverishment of the aristocracy. Cruel investigators have harmed many families, but alone have never destroyed an economy as large as Britain's -- so I'd expect proof or a source for this claim.
The life of this person after Britain is entirely without any sources; the section from Ammianus quoted in the first paragraph only covers that part of his career. Ammianus mentions this person a couple more times in his history, but I don't have time at the moment to see if he confirms anything stated in this article. Someone with access to the The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire could clean up the rest of this article quickly -- which I don't happen to have at the moment. 
This article is in desperate need of a lot of help. Wikipedia deserves better than this. -- llywrch 02:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have time to sort out the article, but PLRE has the following information: he was a native of Spain, his nickname came from his ability to wrap peeople up in a coil of accusations (So says Ammianus anyway), he carried on his trade in Britain, the East, Gaul (where he watched the young Julian), and Egypt, and he was burned in 361/2.

Talk:Themistius

message: I have an older physics textbook that contains the following quote:
:
It appears that they got the date wrong (and should be 350 A.D.) and that this mistake is common at least among sources of the time. (A difference of about 700 years!) For instance the book
:
on page 13 gives two other examples that make the same mistake including one source from 1992. The same book, by the way, quotes a 2003 work by Hecht that gives the rather lovely Themistius quote on friction that "Generally, it is easier to further the motion of a moving body than to move a body at rest". 
If it's true that this article's Themistius and that one are the same (and it appears to be the case) then Themistius was rather important scientifically and his work on friction is very notable. The article does not even mention friction at the moment. I assume it was in his book on physics but we should endeavor to add a section on friction. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Zhang Chonghua

message: The title 王 in Chinese may refer to a prince (include the title 親王, 郡王, or a blood prince, i.e. the son, the brother or the fath of the emperor) or a king. Usually the title prince is given to whom usually does not have the power to rule, and his wife is called 王妃. But a king is a ruler and his wife is called 王后. In this case, the title of 涼王 should not only a prince but a king, also refer to the title of the wife of 涼王 is 王后 but not 王妃, nomatter the title is given by the Jin Dynasty or not. Like Cao Cao, I think his title should be King of Wei but not Prince of Wei, even the title 魏王 is given by the Han Dynasty.--219.78.136.176 14:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed this in the simplest possible way by reincluding the missing start of the transclusion. This is highly likely to be something other than what the author intended.

message: I made a significant edit to the use of Jerome's letter in reference to Amphilochius' literary prowess. The epistle in question had a lengthy list of Church fathers and wasn't directed specifically at the Cappadocians. Furthermore, when people refer to the Cappadocian fathers (as it was written: 'triad') they typically mean Basil, Gregory Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa, not the first two and Amphilochius.

Talk:Emperor Daowu of Northern Wei

message: This article presents two different accounts of Tuoba Gui's early life, but apart from insufficient citations, the analysis that follows them comes across as original research, particularly the bullet points under "Alternate version" that analyzes the plausibility of either. These bullet pointed explanations are written more like an individual is making conversation, like in a Reddit post, and less so with an encyclopedic voice. They also contain so much speculation with no citations to professional sources for the speculation.
As well, the second account is stated to be from the Book of Jin and Book of Song, but the first account is simply stated as "the official accounts". The article refers again to the first account as "the official version" or "official accounts" in other places, and it is never clear what is even the title of the source being so designated as "official". If the bullet points cannot be sourced, I can only recommend that we remove them from the article. Sol Pacificus (talk) 08:07, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Gu Kaizhi

message: Section 1, Gu Kaizhi#Admonitions of the Court Instructress (女史箴圖), asserts: "This painting... illustrates nine stories from a political satire about Empress Jia Nanfeng written by Zhang Hua (ca. 232-302)."  That assertion jumps out at one a bit. Political satire is a phrase with meaning; there's an article on it; it doesn't seem like the sort of thing one writes about a living Empress in whose court one resides, and then one expects to survive the consequences pleasantly.  Now, Zhang Hua did write satires about people's manners as, say, birds' manners. But he was one of the imperial ministers, and ultimately Jia made him Duke of Zhuangwu. He depended utterly on her good will. When she was overthrown, he was killed. Do I really, really need to explain the unlikeliness of even this satirist writing a political satire about his imperial patroness in the open form of discussing court behavior, versus giving sincere and serious courtly advice in a way the Empress would not disapprove?  
Not mentioned at all in this article (though it is in the main article on the Admonitions Scroll): the controversy whether Gu Kaizhi even painted it. Though it bears his signature, it is not originally recorded as having been painted by him. Even the main article fails to note this discrepancy (though Britannica catches it): "Admonitions" is a thoroughly Confucian text, while Gu Kaizhi's painting "Nymph of the Luo River" and his essay "On Painting the Cloud Terrace Mountain" were both Daoist; that's quite an eclectic spread of sentiments to express in art. – •Raven .talk 23:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
