Blacklisted Links Found on Ancient Greek wedding customs

Cyberbot II has detected links on Ancient Greek wedding customs which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Ancient Greek wedding customs → Marriage in ancient Greece – The article as it now stands was created as part of a merge with Marriage in ancient Greece and Ancient Greek marriage law, and is broader in scope than simply wedding customs. "Marriage in ancient Greece" would more accurately reflect the scope of this article. – Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 16:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Caeciliusinhorto and Johnbod: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose How is this an "Uncontroversial technical request"? You may well be right, but this is a potentially controversial non-technical request that should have a normal discussion opened. Johnbod (talk) 20:43, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
• Support While I precieve this to be a preference of semantics, I prefer the change. In addition, I have seen all the edits and overhauls User:Caeciliusinhorto has done on Women in Classical Athens and I know this proposition arises from a genuine care and concern for the topic.Tradereddy (talk) 14:26, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
• Support as proposer I don't think it is a question of semantics at all. "wedding" and "marriage" have different (though related) meanings. A wedding is a ceremony in which people get married; marriage is a union between people which can bring with it legal rights and responsibilities. The article as it stands has one section (Ancient Greek wedding customs#divorce) which is definitely not about a wedding custom (divorce is at entirely the other end of the process!), and various other parts throughout the article which are equally dubiously linked to weddings (a section on epikleroi, for instance, as well as quite a bit of discussion on how marriages were arranged). Having an article about marriage in ancient Greece with a title suggesting that it is about weddings is surely a violation of the principle of least astonishment.

Divorce

" it has been inferred that women were in the habit of imposing suppositious children with the object of keeping their husbands; but the word permits, if indeed it does not require, a different interpretation." it's not at all clear to me what that sentence means. (sorry, I don't know the markup, but thought it better to leave a note than to say nothing) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.241.103 (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Too little Ancient Greek text

I noticed there being loads of English transliterations of Greek words, (e.g. gameo) without the Greek written next to it or without a link to the WikiDictionary article. If anyone wants to change this and knows how to, go ahead.
