Talk:Pica d'Estats

message: The border mentioned is an international border, and so should be described by the two nations sharing the border, ie: the Spanish-French border (or French-Spanish).  I realise that Catalonia has some autonomy, and most Catalonians probably see it as distinct from Spain but it is still a part of the nation of Spain, like it or not.

Talk:Umberto Saba

message: I have recently added and corrected some biographical content. The prose needs improving. It's basically just "he did this, then he did that." Six of the 8 paragraphs begin with "In (date) ..." What's really needed, though, is about the same amount of text on the man's literary influences and impact - that's way out of my league. I used Moleta (2004), which was praised by John Taylor in the TLS on 3 Feb 2006., and cited extensively by Taylor in 2008 --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:01, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Two places in the article say the main runway length is 15,050 feet / 4,587 meters.  A third spot in the Airport overview gets specific:  "15,059 ft (4,590 m), SCLA's runway 17/35 is the second longest public-use runway in the United States, surpassed only by that of the Denver International Airport 16,000 ft (4,900 m) runway 16R/34L."  Yet earlier in the same paragraph says "the Department of Transportation approved a $4.9 million grant for the SCLA to extend its main runway from 10,050 ft (3,060 m) to 13,050 ft (3,980 m) to accommodate international jet transports."  So which is it?  Is it a typo in some form?  Where did the additional 2,000 (or more) feet come from. Trackinfo (talk) 21:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huh? 

message: In my humble opinion, the number of aircraft currently in storage at the airport should not be discussed in the article, as it is inherently subject to change at any moment and is difficult to accurately track. Listing the capacity of the storage facility is adequate for encyclopedic purposes. The number of aircraft stored at a historically significant time may be notable, but should be listed in the "History" section with an appropriate citation.

Talk:Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price

message: Their most notable effort was to release, on the same day as the release of The High Cost of Low Price, a DVD film defending its practices entitled Why Wal-Mart Works; and Why That Drives Some People C-R-A-Z-Y. Ironically, director Ron Galloway would later turn against the company, stating in the April 2007 issue of The New Yorker, "They just instituted a wage cap for long-term employees—people making between thirteen and eighteen dollars an hour. It’s a form of accelerated attrition. They can’t expect me to defend that."[1]
This wording suggests that Why Wal-Mart Works was produced by Wal-Mart PR staff, but that documentary's page suggests that Wal-Mart's support was tacit at best and late it coming. Additionally, the second part of the above quote seems there only to highlight the bias.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.16.250.139 (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Aelius Donatus

message: This line: Donatus invented the system whereby a play is made up of three separate parts: protasis, epitasis, and catastasis. Is contradicted by the content of the catastasis entry, which states that this final term was not a classical one, but was rather coined at a later period by Scaliger. Can anyone find a source for either line to clarify? I haven't been able to.

Talk:Julia Drusilla (daughter of Caligula)

message: Suetonius states simply that "with him died his wife Caesonia, stabbed with a sword by a centurion, while his daughter's brains were dashed out against a wall". Cassius Dio writes that "When he had fallen, none of the men present kept hands off him, but all fell to stabbing him savagely, even though he was dead; and some even tasted of his flesh. His wife and daughter were also promptly slain". Properly sourcing the claim that Julia's head was "smashed against a wall after attacking her mother's assassin by kicking and biting him" would enhance the article. L'omo del batocio (talk) 08:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Even though there's a source cited next to it, I'm still skeptical of the claim that "Her savage temper also contributed to Drusilla's death." She was less than a year and a half old; if she had a "savage temper" it would be because she was teething or had colic or something. —Mahāgaja · talk 15:42, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Publius Cornelius Scipio (consul 16 BC)

message: I had reservations about citing Henri Etcheto's Les Scipions. Famille et pouvoir à Rome à l’époque républicaine: I knew nothing about the author, & it is published on a website (Hal-archives) that appears to exercise no editorial control: anyone can upload a manuscript there. However, there is a Bryn Mawr review of this monograph, which states Etcheto's work is a revision of a doctoral thesis presented at the University Michel de Montaigne – Bourdeaux. Based on these two criteria, I believe it passes the standard for a reliable source, which is a welcome thing: we can always use more reliable sources of recent creation for Roman History. -- llywrch (talk) 18:28, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The wikipedia biographical articles about Roman aristocrats of the late Republic and early Imperial periods are full of dubious overstatements, errors and contradictions. Another article alleges that Appius Junius Silanus was the husband of Aemilia, the great-grand-daughter of Augustus Caesar, and the father of her children, the Silani persecuted under the Emperor Nero. Yet, this article claims that Marcus Junius Silanus as the father of these including his namesake, the subject of this article. Most historians will say that we are uncertain, but the majority who do make a claim, say that it was Marcus Silanus.72.199.110.160 (talk) 18:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Decimus Valerius Asiaticus

message: Does anyone know the source for Asiaticus' praenomen?  I have seen Decimus in at least one recent source, but most older sources call him Publius.  None of the ancient writers cited in the article seem to mention his praenomen.  If no source for Decimus can be found, my inclination is to rename the article, on the assumption that Publius is the more widely-known name, with a note explaining that some sources give Decimus.  I note that Publius is a regular name in the Valeria gens, while Decimus only appears once or twice in the "Others" category, probably indicating freedmen and their descendants.  Of course, I don't know if Asiaticus was descended from the ancient patrician Valerii, but even if his ancestors were only adopted or manumitted into the gens, they'd probably use the regular praenomina of the gens.

message: The info on the first person named Gnaeus Sentius Saturninus on this page needs to be corrected.

Talk:Manius Acilius Glabrio (consul 91)

message: * Hypotheses that his father was the elderly "Acilius" named by Juvenal (iv.94); one authority believes "Acilius" was consul under Nero, specifically c. 54. (There are many gaps in the Fasti Consulares in those years.)
* Source the story about Acilius Glabrio's incident wrestling a lion in the arena.
* His wife is Arria Plaria Vera Priscilla, attested in  & . The second inscription was found near the Via Salaria. Werner Eck has published a study of at least one of these inscriptions -- Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 113 (1996), pp. 287ff
* His son is considered to be the homonymous consul of 124. (I plan on writing the article if it can be filled out with more than genealogical details & the date of his consulship.)
* Untangle the relationships between Acilius Glabrio's "atheism", his Christianity, the later legend of St. Priscilla, & possible connections. (My working theory is that he died either a traditional pagan, or at most dabbled in Judaism, & that the Acilii Glabriones, who survived into the 5th century & had come to embrace Christianity as had other Senatorial families, recast the story of his death in order to improve their social influence -- which is the likely reason the catacomb of Priscilla came to be associated with that family.) -- llywrch (talk) 18:37, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Era style 

message: The name of the city in Baetica from which Annius Verus would come from is Ucubi or "VCVBI" in old roman ortography, not Uccibi which doesn't appear in any ancient source. It appears as Ucubi in Pliny Historia Naturalis, book 3, chapter 9, listing the colonies of Baetica. It appears that way also in De Bello Hispaniensi, not only in its normal nominative form Ucubi (chapter 20) but also several times declined in accusative as Ucubim and with an additional mention as the name for its inhabitants (Ucubensis).
On the other hand the main source for Annius Verus origins, the dubious and late compilation Historia Augusta, mentions as "ex Succubitano municipio ex Hispania", but there is not such city in Hispaniae so it's most probably a late confusion between the plural of the latin word succubus and the real city of Ucubi.--185.210.17.131 (talk) 11:20, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
