[edit] Orthoepeia
Hi, Alex, thanks for your interesting Orthoepeia article! I hope you stick around and continue to make cool contributions like that.
Since the usual dictionaries only acknowledge the sense of "pronunciation" for orthoepeia (see my edit to the article), I think it would be an advantage if you provided a source for the other, admittedly much more interesting, sense. This would avoid the risk of having it sound like "original research", which is a big Wikipedia no-no. See Wikipedia:Cite sources for how to refer to the source. Best wishes, and welcome to Wikipedia! --Bishonen 18:43, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Greek language

Thank you! For your contribution on Greek language. If you are knowledgeable on subjects relating to Greek, you are invited to also review the articles in Category:Hellenic languages and dialects. Etz Haim 21:31, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC) |
[edit] Orthoepeia again
Thanks for the help, my young, beautiful, androgynous, homosexual, Japanese friend. You've caught me being quite lazy; I'm still getting the hang of this, though.
:-) Hi, Alex, I wouldn't mind getting to pick me a couple of those non lucendo bishonen qualities that you mention there, for sure. Thanks for adding to Orthoepeia. The opposites are a terrific idea. With the sources, you did more than I asked, really, and it may be a little too advanced for the putative ordinary Wikipedia reader to get their mind round. I didn't mean to ask for original sources, only that a book reference under a "References" headline at the foot of the page would be helpful and look convincing. You might want to take a look at, hang on... right, why not at Lucus a non lucendo, for a simple example of the layout. (That source happens to have a weblink attached, but most are just book references.) I think you're getting the hang of this place really well, much faster than I did when I first got sucked into the miseries of wikiholism, which was only in July (it seems like ten years) ;-). Oh, and a tip: sign messages with four tildes (~~~~). That will automagically put your in your own signature plus a timestamp. Best,--Bishonen 15:26, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] It's probably on your watchlist...
...but I thought I'd give you a courtesy notice just in case. I have have made a move request for Sokratikoi logoi - see Talk:Sokratikoi logoi.
