Thanks for the message. No doubt the article can be improved but there were large deletions, and some additions which seem to be OR. In any case I think it should now be discussed on the article talk page? I think I have a copy of the relevant Wolfram book somewhere, which may be helpful, but for example deleting all reference to Schütte seems impractical unless anyone knows of a specific criticism of that source and/or a better secondary source concerning the difficult subject of how to interpret Ptolemy. It is not that unusual for those types of subjects to have an unfortunate lack of easily accessible good sources. Problem: not sure how much time I will have personally, but if anyone is spending time on it I will try to pitch in. --Andrew Lancaster (talk) 14:34, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
