Hi. With regards to this discussion, you should be aware (if you aren't already) that renaming the category in the middle of a formal discussion is inappropriate and can be disruptive. The reason is because it creates a very confusing situation for those who come to the discussion a few days after it has begun if the originally-nominated category has been emptied out and a new one created in its stead. You've done this at least twice on this category now and also once with the Alexander the Great historians one, so I and I think anyone else who might want to participate in those discussions would appreciate it if you would stop changing things mid-stream. Thanks, Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I was wondering what your definition of "Ottoman Greek Macedonia" is. This seems like a peculiar combination of terms, as though we had a category for, say, "Italian French Savoy" (referring to the French area of Savoie formerly ruled by the Italian House of Savoia) or "English French Normandy" or "Pakistani British India". -- macrakis ( talk) 16:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
and Category:Medieval Macedonia. The same applies to Thrace (region) Catalographer ( talk) 16:23, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
and Roman Gaul, Gallia existed as separate region; unlike Ottoman Macedonia which was part of Rumelia and then divided between Salonika,Monastir and Kosovo sanjaks. Catalographer ( talk) 05:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Like the Byzantine provinces in the region of Macedonia ( Diocese of Macedonia and later Byzantine themes) , the Ottoman provinces had no chronological and geographical stability. Sanjaks of Selanik, Monastir and Kosova ,with Ushkub capital, existed after 1864. Catalographer ( talk) 05:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I wonder why you moved Ancient theatre, Ohrid to Ancient Theatre of Ohrid? This page has been moved about more often than I care to remember, but "ancient theatre" is still just a descriptive common noun phrase, not a proper name. Why the capitalization?

Hi, C. I don't have strong feelings about this at all, but I just noticed the category of Ancient Greek 'triumphal hymns.' Since I wasn't familiar with the term, I did a Google Books search and found the phrase mainly in 19th-century encyclopedias. I didn't see it used in any of the 20th–21st century books on ancient Greek literature (such as literary histories or genre topics) that I know to be on G-books. Don't know whether that's an issue for you, or whether there's a more current term; I was just curious about the phrase. Cynwolfe ( talk) 03:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, let's see triumphal hymn epinikion, ( or triumphal ode epinikion, trumphal song, epinikion ), trumphal hymn paean , (or triumphal song paean) and books of 21st century: The fragments of Timotheus of Miletus By Timotheus, James H. Hordern 2002 the paean was a triumphal song to Apollo, Plague and the Athenian imagination: drama, history and the cult of Asclepius By Robin Mitchell-Boyask celebratory or triumphal paean, Pindar's poetry, patrons, and festivals: from archaic Greece to the Roman Empire By Simon Hornblower, Catherine Morgan Page 145 triumphal hymn Catalographer ( talk) 08:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, and I don't mean to sound as if I'm hounding you (our interests just happen to overlap), but what is your source for saying Telesarchus held the title phrourarch?

I would welcome any other sources on this obscure figure. Cynwolfe ( talk) 14:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Hallo Catalographer,
I saw that you added a picture of the Empress on the Aelia Eudocia article. The inscription on the slab actually reads "Hagia Eudoxia", and Saint Eudocia has actually nothing to do with the Empress, who was never canonized. Are you sure about the identification? Thanks, Alex2006 ( talk) 12:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello Catalographer. I am at a loss to see if we need to get as pedantic as that for categorization purposes by dividing people from the same locality under different time frames, city names and rules and I will appreciate if you could leave a comment here: [3]. Are we prepared to extend the approach to cover, just citing as examples, Category:Qing Dynasty people from Peking, Category:Ming Dynasty people from Peking and Category:People from Republican Peking and a still distinct one for Category:People from Beijing. If the approach is based on considerations of stressing ethnicity, just to cite another example, note that J.G.Ballard is categorized simply under Category:People from Shanghai and not under Category:British people from Shanghai and not even under Shanghailanders although that could stand on much firmer ground. Just to cite another example, some could argue that Burhan Özfatura could fit better into the category Category:Historical people of İzmir rather than just Category:People from İzmir and differences in view wouldn't stop.

Hello. I noticed that the River Lethe in popular culture was completely lacking an introduction. I added a tiny bit from the Lethe page but have no idea if this conforms to the right format since the article is about the popular culture occurences. The treatment of the concept itself is best left to the Lethe page, I agree but I also think it should see some basic level of treatment on the River Lethe in popular culture as well. Which is why I write to you now (someone who is better able to make those edits than I). Thanks catalographer! -- Skychildandsonofthesun ( talk) 14:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I also think that since there are five related pages: Lethe (myth) River Lethe (actual river), River Lethe in popular culture, Altheia, Aletheia (mythology), we probably should have a See Also section at the bottom of these and maybe even a disambiguiation tag at the top.
