Talk:Vix Grave

message: Hi, 83d40m, Please do not make major edits rashly. I had to undo the majority of your changes. 
*Do not change British English into the trans-Atlantic version, it is against wikipedia policy (see here). Thus, It is jewellery, not jewelry (your spelling, jewelery is entirely wrong), and sherd, not shard. Personally, I am also not a big fan of expressions like "a great deal of something", as I think the use of "much" is shorter, crisper and less wordy (there is no difference in meaning between "a great deal of jewellery" and "much jewellery"), but if you prefer the longer version, fair enough.
*Let us avoid too many illustrations, they break the flow of the article and do not add information. Extraneous Hallstatt fibulae or Greek statuettes need not be illustrated, as there are links to the articles on Hallstatt culture, fibula and peplos, where people can look these things up. There'd be hundreds more things that look a bit like something from Vix, but we should only have illustrations that are helpful to further the informative value. What we do need is images of Mont Lassois, plans, images of the graves, and pictures of the actual finds from there.  
*Some of your grammatical changes were not desirable. Eg, "the individual buried is traditionally seen as female" is correct, your version "the individual traditionally  buried is seen as female" is a major change, as now the word "traditional" refers to the burial, and not to the gender hypothesis. That is not the key point. The gender has never, to my knowledge, been scientifically determined. For the same reason, it should be "the grave", not "her grave" throughout the rest of the text. 
**Here you are incorrect.  There has never been any doubt that the remains of the Lady of Vix are female. The sex of skeletons and remains is one of the easiest factors to verify in basic archeology. (width of pelvis, length of femurs, presence of internal and external organs, etc.)  Even a cursory reading of the literature on Vix shows that the sex of the remains were easily determined to be unquestionably female.  Further excavation of nearby graves has uncovered other high-status female burials which is not at all uncommon among Celts.  Hopefully there is not some unconscious sexism at work here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.136.23 (talk) 18:31, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:1st Royal New South Wales Lancers

message: Hi this article is in really good shape, but I was wondering if the battle honours section is it complete. I would have expected to see some theatre honours for the 1st Light Horse during the First World War. The ones awarded which they should have qualified for are: 
:Egypt 1915, Egypt 1915–16, Egypt 1915–17, Egypt 1916, Egypt 1916–17
:Gallipoli 1915
:Palestine 1917–18, Palestine 1918,
Obviously they would not have all of them, only one of Palestine 1917-18 or Palestine 1918 for example. Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:42, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Athens (disambiguation)

message: For anyone with the time and interest, here is a large amount of information from various newspapers, telegraphs, and even personal interviews.  http://www.constitution.org/mil/tn/batathen_press.htm
I'm sure that if someone asked, he would probably give permission to have much of this information in the wikipedia article.
:Legally speaking, he doesn't need permission.  Information, as such, is not copyrightable.  What is copyrightable is a particular presentation of information; thus, his permission would be needed if one wanted to copy something verbatim.  However, the facts of the occurrence are not copyrightable and so if someone wants to write up an article based on what he learned in that link, no permission would be needed.

Thinking of moving the USA 'battle' to a separate page and including a disambig.  The US battle seems slightly pheripheral to other world events.
:I have added a disambiguation page. I may try to request this page gets moved and the disambiguation page get put here in it's place if that is agreeable to everyone.

Talk:Adrastus of Aphrodisias

message: As I mentioned on Talk:Adrastus of Philippi, ages ago, I'm doubtful that there was an Adrastus of Philippi. I remember looking into the issue at the time, and I suspect that Philippi may simply be an alternative birthplace of Adrastus of Aphrodisias from some obscure ancient author, although I couldn't conclusively prove it. (I couldn't find a reference where anyone specifically discussed this question.) The statement that he was "of the 4th century BC, pupil of Aristotle," I think, is a simple misreading that Adrastus was a "disciple" of Aristotle, i.e. a Peripatetic philosopher of a much later time. Certainly it would be quite a coincidence if there were two Adrastuses who both wrote a treatise on harmonics. Singinglemon (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember now, yes it was Stephanus of Byzantium I was thinking of, as the source of this Philippi comment. The Fragmente der griechischen Historiker is, unfortunately, rather cryptic on the subject, so its hard to know what Stephanus says, other that that "Adrastus the Peripatetic" was associated with Phillipi. The Dictionary of Music, is a tertiary source, and of little value, and besides, it only mentions the one Adrastus, even if it does say he was "b. Philippi", the author must surely mean Adrastus of Aphrodisias. As to the "three volumes" on Harmonics, this seems to refer to the supposed manuscript said by Vossius to have been in the Vatican Library, according to the The Biographical Dictionary of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. I'm not sure, it all seems a bit confused, and the fact that I can't anything authorative on "Adrastus of Philippi" is what makes me doubt his existence. It is interesting that Trevor Curnow mentions him in his The philosophers of the ancient world guide; he seems to give a reference, but without knowing what the reference is, it's hard to judge further. Singinglemon (talk) 19:18, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, well I've done what I think is right. I've left in the Stephanus of Byzantium info. But I've removed the music reference, since I don't think it's credible. I've cited Trevor Curnow's book, but left it ambiguous. To me, the really telling point is that none of the textbooks on Peripatetic philosophy mention an "Adrastus of Philippi"; some of these books are quite happy to list every obscure Peripatetic philosopher, even those known from a single mention.

Talk:Plectrurus perrotetii

message: 1) The Reptile Database and the French WP article list this species as "Plectrurus perroteti Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854".
2) Boulenger (1893) and Dahms Tierleben use the scientific name "Plectrurus perroteti Duméril & Bibron, 1854".
3) This WP article, Wikispecies, and ITIS  use "Plectrurus perrotetii Duméril, 1851".
4) The French WP article has a link to a PDL version of Duméril, Bibron & Duméril (1854) which shows the scientific name as "Plectrurus Perroteti. Nobis." ("Nobis" means "by us" in Latin).
So, is the correct ending "-i", or "-ii"? For the binomial authority, should it be "D.", "D. & B.", or "D., B. & D."?  And which year is right -- 1851 or 1854? I realize that when there is a conflict, WP usually goes by ITIS. However, in this particular case, I think ITIS may be in error.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.213.217 (talk) 02:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

It is worrying to read that there are locked fire doors keeping the tenant and owner-occupier wings apart.

Talk:Van Halen concert tours

message: It's a lot of boring hard work getting tours listed in detail. If anyone wants to make more pages, I suggest we do The Ambulance Tour. It's one of the best documented in live videos since several shows were aired live on TV (YouTube'll help you find them), it was one of the band's most successful tours. With the injuries the band incurred it was one of the more eventful tours too. Also one of the ones where Hagar allowed the other performers brief lead vocals - this never happened until the 1988 tour onwards and did not happen in 2004 or the present 2007 tour.
It was the last before the band began to fall apart - Hagar left, the band tried to reunite with Roth and told the public they had, Gary Cherone joined the band for an unpopular album and a tour that bombed and had a lot of cancelled dates. And that's just 1995-1998. Really the 1995 tour was the last tour during Van Halen's main career. FUCK was uneventful, RHRN was very short, so this would leave all the important Hagar-era dates done.
Some Roth-era tourdates would be nice, but they're not so relevant I feel. The band was on the road a lot more often then and it felt almost continuous. A tour was organised. Then another. In the Hagar era each tour was taylor made with a specific vibe (The Elfoid 16:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
