Cite template change
I have reverted the insertion of a {{cite book}} template for the first reference to the "Corinthian War" article in the Oxford Classical Dictionary. I did this because
- Simon Hornblower is the editor, not the author, of the OCD, and
- the reference with the template inserted doesn't list the specific article in the book that is being cited.
I don't know if there is an appropriate template for citing a work like the OCD; if so, there would be no harm in using that, but cite book led to a rather misleading reference. --Robth 14:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
5th century
The featured article blurb omits the "bc" after 5th century when refering to the Athenian Empire, it looks a little confusing. L0b0t 12:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Spelling
I understand that the standard for spelling of Greek place names currently is to use "k" in place of "c," as it is a hard sound. On that note, however, why is it not spelled "Korinth," then? I ask not to be clever, but out of a genuine curiousity. --Raulpascal 18:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- That's changed actually; it was at one time the standard to use a "k"--which makes sense, as the Greek letter being transliterated is "Κ" (kappa). This changed at some point in the twentieth century, however, presumably because "k" is a very awkward letter in English, and spellings like "Corinth" are now universally used. --Robth 03:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
