Talk:Ariston (strategos)

Verify quote
This article is a straight lift from the DGRBM article listed among the references (published 1870, thus long out of copyright). Narky Blert (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I see, thank you for responding. I'm fairly certain that we still need the article to reflect the Wikipedia voice/tone to prevent reader confusion.


 * Perhaps we could start the article by paraphrasing the basic information about Ariston in Wikipedia voice, and even mention the source. After that we could add the entire quote in a block quote. Does that sound ok? Pythagimedes (talk) 00:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. The contributors to DGRBM weren't afraid to get personal about people they were writing about, especially ones they didn't like. At this later date, we can take a more objective stance, and put opinion in quotes. (I wrote the article to solve a DABfixing problem - having found out who the man was, it seemed as easy to write a better-than-nothing stub as leave a redlink.)
