Hi,

This seems like a tough page to edit, being necessary to separate fact from fiction. I think that the article has remained very objective, but perhaps it might be a good idea write a little about possible decipherments (or is there practically no progress at all)? You could also go a little into how the CM syllabary is split into 4 groups (any specific years) and why archaeologists deem it fit to classify them into these groups, how they are able to deduce the number of total signs ("all sorts of other objects") and so on.

Hi Hanrong,

You edited the page well. However, I feel that the "Subdivisions of Cypro-Minoan" section should be expanded more and given more detail and better examples. Also, you could include the origins of the subdivisions. The pictures are a good touch and help the reader as they read the page. The decipherment section doesn't actually really have that much about decipherment, so you should probably add a little more. You have a good start, but you should probably keep expanding. Good work so far though!

Colless link removal
I removed the 'external link' to Colless's blog decipherment. If this was incorrect, it should be reverted, but I do not think it is fair that it sit on its own without the addition of translations that are actually published in academic literature.

Stephen Duren?
Something wrong with this ref: Duren, Stephen. 2013. The History of "Proto-Writing", Indus Script, and the Minoan Writing Systems.

Adding Linear B as a Sister System
Cypro-Minoan syllabary is not noted as a sister system of Linear B, but it is on the Linear B and Linear A articles. Could you add that please? 2601:447:D17C:3340:3123:7ACA:13F3:9A05 (talk) 21:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
