The diptych of Stilicho is in German Wikipedia as Bild:Stilicho.jpg. If I were competent to transfer it, it would serve well here, at Stilicho and perhaps supplementing the illus. at Diptych. --Wetman 00:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Brooch vs. Broach
What is the distinction between brooch and broach? The disambiguation page of broach leads to this page, but this page is suggesting they are different things. Otherwise, this may just be a misplaced modifier. Karma Heretic (talk) 22:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Second the question about the distinction between the two words in light of the fact that several other references seem to use the two interchangeably. If one wishes to insist on not "confusing" the two, he should explain the difference clearly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trashtalk26 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

In the jewelry industry "brooch" is a pin and "broach" is a cutting tool. The disambiguation page has both, as is proper if even a little EXTRA helpful, and also shows the difference clearly. Jjdon (talk) 19:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I really think it is just a confusion over spelling/pronunciation. "Brooch" is pronounced like "broach" and "poach", not like "mooch". Or is the second one an American pronunciation? If so we can have both here.Philip Howard (talk) 13:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunate
Unfortunate is a judgment word that shouldn't be used by an encyclopedia. The antiquities trade could be described as "illegal" or "damaging to archeology" but should not be described as "unfortunate", "evil", or the like. See NPOV. Eluchil404 (talk) 21:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
