thread_title:  Small version 

message: Template:WikiProject Illustrated Wikipedia is obsolete, and very badly malformed.  It implies that the articles on whose talk pages it appear are within the assessment purview of the project, which is simply not the case.  This isn't that kind of WikiProject at all (contrast :WP:BIO).  That template has been completely surpassed by Template:WikiWorld, and its disposition has nothing at all to do with whether WP articles themselves should have links directly to the cartoons, which is dealt with by Template:Illustrated Wikipedia, the fate of which is not connected to Template:WikiProject Illustrated Wikipedia, which no longer serves any purpose. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 00:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Simon the Shoemaker

message: I notice in the Historicity: Support section of this refashioned page there is the following statement:
:As Simon is referenced by Antisthenes and Aristippus in the Cynic epistles, and even partakes in the exchange, it would be unlikely that he would be a literary creation of two early writers, alongside the fabrication of Phaedo of Elis.
These Socratic (Cynic) letters, and specifically those involving Antisthenes, Aristippus and Simon are a fictional creation by a Roman-era writer. This is not a disputed point and R. F. Hock (1976) in the reference given states that the letters are "aprocryphal" (page 44).
Looking at what Hock says on page 42, however, he says:
:Hobein also argues that Simon was mentioned not only by Phaidon but probably also by Antisthenes; thus, if he were mentioned by two early writers, it is most unlikely that he would have been the literary creation of either.
The point seems to be that Antisthenes may have mentioned Simon in his Heracles, and thus Phaedo and Antisthenes are the two early writers who mention him. It is though, "conjectural" as to whether Antisthenes actually mentions him.
Anyway, I'm just putting this information out here, if anyone wants to correct the page. My days of writing Wikipedia pages on ancient philosophy finished some time ago. :) Pasicles (talk) 18:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Wu Han (historian) seems like a more appropriate title for this page, doesn't it?  Wu Han (PRC) is an odd choice for a name, as it would suggest that a person should be identified principally by the political administration under which he died.

The summit listed on this page is Mt. Sanjo, which is significantly lower than 1915m.

*Cutty Sark is a ship, not a boat;
