I have changed the pages Stela and Stele and the relevant pages linking them so that stele now refers to the biological concept, and stela to the archaeological concept. Both pages also link to each other with explanations to avoid any confusion. --Chino 06:27, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Major Egyptian Stelae
There are certainly some major Stela that could have Wiki pages. I worked on Egyp. Hieroplyphs for 2 years, by way of the Rosetta Stone, (and Ptolemy III's Decree of Canopus (the grandfather of Ptol. V.
I need to know who would write about a Mayan Stelle
Some stela to consider:
- The " Metternich Stela ", at the Family in Germany(Duke Metternich), I think. It is in a Great category of Stelae: called: " Cippus of Horus ", for spells, i.e., Medicine.
- A, different, "Cippus of Hurus" stela.
- The 1906 Famous [ Breasted ] work. (I just looked. I am not sure if he is in the Wiki Encycl. ) The 5-Volume work The History of Egypt.( He redid all the Hieroglyphs of EVEryone up to that time.) The work is the Autobriography on a Stela. I don't know the exact dimensions of it, but the autobiography takes up about 40 pages of translation. It is obviously a Famous Stela. He(Kush Pharaoh Piankhi) was a Kushite Pharaoh and went North to the Delta, and returned, then writing his autobiography. The stela is the Piankhi Stela.....( Piankh, 1074- 1070 BC, List of Pharaohs ). ( Piankhi's name in Wikipedia is Piye....Michael McA.... )Mmcannis 16:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- There is the Famous inscription of Thothmosis III between the legs of the Great Sphinx of Giza, ( Sphinx ), I think it may qualify as a "Stela", and I forget exactly the Import of the Statement, but I believe it is long, and halfway comprehensive. Something about the History of Eqypt, and its Future. I forget. ...M. McAnnis,YumaAZ
[edit] Requested move
I have requested at WP:RM that Stele be moved to Stele (biology) and Stela to Stele, with Stela kept as a redirect. For rationale and discussion, see Talk:Stele (biology) and Wikipedia:Requested moves#7 November 2005. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 23:11, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- Move completed. —Cleared as filed. 17:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- As a botanist familiar with both definitions, I think this is a good choice. The biological definition is far less commmon than the archeological one. Though, personally, I would have preferred to see the plant morphology article appear as Stele (botany) instead of Stele (biology). -- EncycloPetey 14:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
