Talk:Antlia


 * Bulleted list item

Loan word, really?
Reading the article Loanword would be appropriate. Maybe English speakers believe that Antliae is spelled Antliae and pronounced /ˈæntlɪ.iː/ in Greek (?!!), but firstly Antlia is imported via Latin, using Latinized spelling, and secondly in Latin it is spelled /ˈantlɪ.ɛː/, and so Antlia/Antliae is a foreign word, as usual within English a gravely mispronounced one. ... said: Rursus ( m bork³ ) 18:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The text leaps to conclusions
It says:
 * It was originally denominated Antlia pneumatica to commemorate the air pump invented by the French physicist Denis Papin.[1][not in citation given]

But the source (Star Tales) doesn't say so. Star Tales, not Lacaille, concludes that the Antlia pneumatica depicts an invention by Denis Papin. The editor who formulated that statement didn't read carefully, but instead jumped to conclusions not claimed by the source text used for the citation. '''Read more carefully! Please!! (Now, guess who''' is going to do the cleanup? ...) ... said: Rursus ( m bork³ ) 17:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
