Image deletion
Hello, Caeciliusinhorto: I see that the History of Lesbianism article has a lack of images for later history, and am trying to add some images. I'm wondering why you just deleted the Toulouse Lautrec image of lesbian entertainer Cha-U-Ka-O that I added. I was in the middle of redoing the caption when the image disappeared. Let's discuss how we can add some later images to this article. Thank you ABF99 (talk) 15:45, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
- @ABF99: ah, sorry about that. I couldn't work out what the relevance of the picture was, and misread when it had been added so I didn't realise that you might still be working on it. I agree with you that the article could do with some more images, especially in the later sections. That particular image currently doesn't seem hugely relevant, as Cha-U-Kao isn't mentioned in the article – indeed, the only mention of French lesbianism in that section at all is "For instance, there was probably a lesbian subculture amongst dancers and prostitutes in eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Paris". If you want to revert me and add in a better caption for the image explaining its relevance I will leave it there, but it would be even better if you could add some relevant text to the article as well (alternatively, if you know of any good sources for French lesbianism in the period, I'm happy to have a look at those and see what can be added to the article text.) Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 15:56, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Redirect linking
You are correct.
While previously I had directly linked to the section that spoke of the authorship of the work that the article was speaking about. This link was changed by another editor.
When I linked to go past the redirect I failed to have it go directly to the section. Therefore, it is not covered by the standard I was thinking of which is Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Piped_links_and_redirects_to_sections_of_articles .
Upon review, as the section on authorship of the linked article is at the top. I concede that there is no need for the section to be directly linked to. --Wowaconia (talk) 19:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Pluto
Okay, Caeciliusinhorto, if that’s your real name, so the reference to Plato has nothing to do with the development of the story of Sappho-as-what-ever-you-said, but the section is, after all, titled “ancient reputation”, and Plato is “celebrity casting”, and he’s willing to add some star power to your paragraph and he won’t charge you a penny. I’m not saying that Dioscorides, and Antipater of Sidon are anything to sneeze at, but … you get my point. So okay, I confess! I was the one that stuck the Plato non sequitur in there, thinking you could figure out what to do with it. You coulda just hit the paragraph button and given him a paragraph all to his own. Voila! Problem solved! Actually … don’t. Ignore all of the above, and do what you want. You’re doing a great job with the article, and I enjoy following your edits, I hope you don’t mind. And I’ll keep my two cents to myself from now on. So there. Yours truly, Handthrown (talk) 20:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Handthrown: I don't mind at all, and I certainly don't want you to keep your two cents to yourself! Though I am by far the most active editor on the various articles on Sappho and her works, I don't own them, and I'm certainly not infalliable: I always appreciate seeing what others think should and shouldn't be in the articles I watch, even when I disagree with them.
- I absolutely agree that Plato has name-recognition amongst non-classicists that makes him a valuable person to reference in discussions on the ancient reception of Sappho (and, indeed, pretty much anything else in ancient Greece). However, he doesn't quite seem to fit where you put him, and I haven't quite worked out where he does fit. Looking into it, I see that Dimitrios Yatromanolakis has a little to say about Plato and the Phaedrus in Sappho in the Making; the line is also mentioned by Ellen Greene in "Sappho, Foucault, and Women's Erotics". Perhaps the answer is to try to work up another paragraph on Sappho's influence on ancient conceptions of love, but apart from that Plato quote I don't think that I have any material off-hand that fits in it. Any ideas? Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, Caeciliusinhorto, for the thoughtful response. I may not just now have any ideas about what to do with Plato, just non sequiturs. But if I come up with something I will let you know. It means a lot that Plato mentioned her, though would it've killed him to give us little more than he did? I don't think so. The story in this article is astounding, and it’s so good that it’s getting such great attention from you. There is one edit I’d be tempted to make: The lead section ends with “three epigrams attributed to her are preserved, but these are in fact Hellenistic imitations.”, but I think it should instead end with something like: “three epigrams attributed to her are preserved, but these epigrams are in fact not by Sappho, but are later Hellenistic imitations of her”. I don’t know. I have to think about it. Handthrown (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
It means a lot that Plato mentioned her, though would it've killed him to give us little more than he did?
the eternal curse of the classicist! we never know as much as we would like.three epigrams attributed to her are preserved, but these are in fact Hellenistic imitations
I bet that's my wording; I have a bad habit of writing excessively compressed sentences. I'm sure it could be improved. Something like "though three epigrams attributed to Sappho are preserved, they are later Hellenistic imitations of her style rather than authentic poems by her", perhaps? Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 16:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)- Yes! The edit you suggest is excellent. Handthrown (talk) 02:24, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Sappho
It does discuss Sappho if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and the next page.[1] Garfield7380 (talk) 08:49, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, I see now that it does discuss Sappho. Given that its only mention of Sappho is to say that she was a lesbian, which a) has historically been a major question in studies of Sappho, and consequently there are an abundance of works by actual specialists addressing the question, b) given that it predates Wilamowitz, is essentially irrelevant to modern scholarship on the issue, and c) modern scholarship is increasingly tending towards "this is the Wrong Question", I don't see that the article is missing anything by not citing it.

Athena Promachos
The reference #9 is too vague (couldn't find any related publication). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowprophet (talk • contribs) 07:22, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Cowprophet: the paper is "A Methodological Inquiry: The Great Bronze Athena by Pheidias" which is already cited at n.2. Giving the full citation on first occurence and a shortened citation thereafter is perfectly common as a citation practice in the classics. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 07:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
In that case, and if you would like, please fix the reference to point to #2 instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowprophet (talk • contribs) 21:12, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

- ("Hi there", forsooth! Blasted bot!) I've left a handful of comments for your consideration, but nothing that is an impediment to the promotion of this excellent article. I see from your GA nomination note that you return from foreign parts tomorrow: on the assumption that you may want a few days before returning to the article, I'll look in next week unless you ping me first.

Corinna
I agree with your criticism of my Corinna change -- I intended to keep rewriting it to make it more coherent but stopped at an intermediate stage. I sometimes get all bollixed up with using the editor if I have to make a lot of changes at once so I do it in stages. Apparently there is no way to save drafts of edits until you get it all right.
- @The Uncle of History: I was actually going to put a message on your talkpage, but got distracted, so thanks for reminding me. If you are doing complex edits, especially ones which will take multiple commits to finish, it is best to give descriptive edit summaries so other users can tell what you are trying to do. As it is, it is very difficult for me to see where this edit is going. I don't use the visual editor, so I can't help you with that; I just write everything in wiki-markup in a text editor and then move it over to the wiki when I am happy with it, but I appreciate that this is not so easy to do if you don't read markup languages pretty fluently.
- All of that aside, it's always nice to see another editor who focuses on ancient Greece; there aren't very many of us. Your area of interest looks to be a little more recent than mine, from your contributions; I mostly work on archaic articles at the moment. Hope you stick around, though, and if you ever need any help with the obscurities of wikipedia editing, do feel free to drop me a message here. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 15:24, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I meant to mention that another reason I abandoned that edit in mid stream was that the editor stopped responding in the middle of things -- I couldn't move the cursor around, though I was definitely in edit mode. I also find trying to manage citations in the editing process can be confusing, but hopefully that will eventually become clearer to me. I'll come back to Corinna at some point and try to organize my contribution better. Actually I've been more interested in Greek poetry than history, but I'm currently reviewing Greek history and find that revising some of the articles helps me to retain the material. The Uncle of History (talk) 16:28, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, well if you are around the poetry articles I'll definitely be seeing you around; I watch pretty much all the articles on Greek women poets, and many of the ones on archaic lyric poets. Citations are one of those things which you'll eventually learn, but so long as you are adding something which makes it clear what you are referencing, other editors can always fiddle around with the formatting...

a suggested edit
Hello Caeciliusinhorto, I just wanted to give you a "heads up" that I suggested an edit on the talk page of the Sappho article. My suggestion may be factually accurate, but if you could check it (if you feel like it and have a moment) I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Gaustaag (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Brothers poem
I’ve enjoyed reading the Brother’s Poem article. It is well written sentence-by-sentence, and it contains a wealth of ideas and information. I do have a few comments, for whatever they may be worth. I feel that the organization and arrangement of the content needs be considered, perhaps it might help to have more headings and subheadings, and to keep the content under each heading “on topic”. The article begins with a rich load of detail coming like shotgun blasts from a few directions: the date of publication, the name of the discoverer, a mention of Oxford, and so on. I think the reader might want to say: Wait, hold on, slow down. The “lead” should be more like a headline — a couple of sentences, with few details — only those that serve the lead’s purpose. The details of the first two paragraphs could be absorbed into what follows the lead. The reader should be seen as someone who doesn’t know much about all this at all, doesn’t know Sappho, and thinks that “archaic” is a put-down (and could use a little definition). I’d suggest a lead could be something like: “The Brother’s Poem is a poem written by Sappho, a poet of ancient Greece, known for her vivid and evocative writings on human nature, on love, and sexuality; and whose work preceded and greatly inspired authors of the classical period. That the Brother’s Poem is extant after more than 27 centuries, and was only very recently found, makes it a remarkable and rare instance of survival and discovery, especially in light of the fact that most of Sappho’s poetry has been lost to modern readers. The Brother’s Poem is concerned with the safe return of Sappho’s brother from an ocean voyage.” Then the article begins. Also, I think the reader wants the “goods” — the poem itself — and misses them when they are not there. The poem doesn’t need to be fully quoted from a modern translation, but it’s short enough to be paraphrased. Or it could be made up with short quotes combined with paraphrases, and in a section of it’s own. It could start: This poem begins with Sappho speaking to another, and saying that the other “keeps telling everyone” that Kharaxos’ boat always arrives fully-loaded. (etc) Regarding the “story of the discovery”, which a reader would be eager to pounce on, is scattered in bits and pieces. And it’s not obvious where to find it. I think the reader would love to have it told in a unified way in its own section that might subsume the section that’s there now headed "preservation". It might be good to include the original Greek version in the article, even for non-Greek readers, to get a sense of it. Best, Gaustaag (talk) 16:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Gaustaag: thanks for this! I don't have time to do your commentary justice right this moment, but I think you are definitely right that the organisation of the lead bears consideration. I shall hopefully have time to look in detail at your comments tonight; if not I shall get to them later in the week. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 07:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
DYK for Sappho
On 19 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sappho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the song cycles by Wilhelm Killmayer, written across five decades, set poems by authors from Sappho to Peter Härtling, with a focus on the late poems by Hölderlin? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Sappho), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Peer review newsletter #1
Introduction
Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
- THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
- Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.
Updates
Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}
- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}
- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.
We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
Update #3: advertising
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!

Pageviews analysis of articles on Sappho poems
I was idly curious on how many views the Sappho articles were getting so I punched them in here: [1] No major surprises but I still found the table interesting to look at. Haukur (talk) 10:50, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, I don't think there's anything that surprising there: Ode to Aphrodite and Sappho 31 are, as expected, decidedly the most popular.
- What is interesting is this version of the chart: you can clearly see the spike in pageviews for Frr. 1 and 31 from August-September 2017, coinciding with Sappho being listed as a GA and appearing on the front page. (If you remove those two and Sappho 2, which was only created around the time Sappho hit GA, you can see similar spikes for Brothers Poem, Sappho 16 and Sappho 44 become clear.) If you look at the individual page data for Ode to Aphrodite and Sappho 31, you can also clearly see that those spikes aren't temporary: there is a distinct before/after difference. (The same is true for Sappho herself: since she hit GA, she's averaged something over 6000 more views-per-month.)

- @Haukurth: Thanks very much! My next Sappho project is likely to be bringing Ode to Aphrodite to GA, but I think there's enough material on Tithonus poem that with a bit of work that could be a fairly respectable featured article some day... And of course gallons of scholarly ink have been spilt on Sappho 31, to the point that bringing that to FA is intimidating more from the sheer volume of sources I would have to work through! Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 11:52, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
The Barnstar of Greece | ||
Even though I have mostly left Wikipedia and I am no longer writing articles, I still pop over here now and then to see what is going on. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and admire all the excellent work you have done and continue to do for Wikipedia. Your articles about ancient Greece and Rome are among the best Wikipedia has. I was saddened when I saw you had left and I am so glad you have decided to come back. —Katolophyromai (talk) 00:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC) |
@Katolophyromai: Thank you! I am sorry to hear that you have largely left wikipedia. I continue to appreciate your work here, especially to ancient Greek literature – there's plenty more where that came from if you ever feel like making a return! Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 08:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- I am still writing obsessively, but I am no longer writing on Wikipedia nearly as much as I used to. Nowadays I mostly write answers on Quora and articles on my personal website. Here is a link to my Quora profile and here is a link to my personal website. As I said, I still log on to Wikipedia every so often to see what is going on and occasionally make minor edits and changes. I am more active than you were while you were gone.
- I am actually rather dissatisfied with the article "ancient Greek literature" since that was the first article I ever worked on that I tried to bring up to GA status and, at the time I was writing it, I did not know how writing articles on Wikipedia worked. Most of the citations in that article I just copied from other articles here on Wikipedia, thinking that was acceptable. If figured that, if they were good enough to support similar statements in other articles, then they were good enough for the article "ancient Greek literature." Obviously that is not acceptable and I was foolish for thinking that it was, but I mostly worked on that article while I was in my junior year of high school and I just did not know any better. Now that I am a sophomore in college, I know better than to do stupid and lazy things like that. The articles "Athena," "Inanna," "Hypatia," and "Aphrodite" were the first ones I wrote that I actually did in the proper way by actually finding all my own sources. The articles I worked on closer to the end of my time on Wikipedia, such as "satyr," "Library of Alexandria," "Epicurus," and "Pythagoras" are all much better in my opinion. —Katolophyromai (talk) 11:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Well, all of us (we hope!) get better at writing wikipedia articles with practice. It may not be up to your standards today, but when you look back at what it looked like before you started editing it, you will realise that you did massively improve ancient Greek literature. Skimming through the articles on Hypatia and Library of Alexandria, they do indeed look like excellent work. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 13:33, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
