Talk:Gaddi Torso

"Completing" a torso
I'm a little confused by the last line (and the DYK entry) - what does "completing a torso" mean and imply? Do we have an article on the subject we can link to? -- 128.104.112.117 (talk) 14:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, let's change the calendar to one that is appropriate for an object and article of this type
Is this sufficiently bureaucratic?

 * I don't agree that a BC style is more appropriate for the Gaddi Torso or Hellenistic art in general. I am a member of the Institute of Classical Studies Library in London and last year when the library moved all the shelves were relabeled to the BCE form.  My impression is that is the trend.Dejvid (talk) 13:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Nothing particularly Christian about the Gaddi Torso. No one suggests BCE/CE is suited to a Christian subject. A matter of taste.--Wetman (talk) 16:58, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

There is an italicization error in footnote 15
Can we please have a quorum or a minyan of people to agree to correct the error?

 * We don't want to just fly off the handle and fix an error.
 * God forbid.
 * I assume that your point here is that changing eras is absurdly bureaucratic and that if all changes were treated like this things would get ridiculous. Well, yes, changing eras is unwieldy - that's intentional.  BCE and BC edit wars were prevalent in the past and that has produced the current consensus.  In the main it works by making any change in either direction difficult.  You seem to think that changing BCE to BC is just correcting an error.  Please read WP:ERA and that should be clear.  By contrast, the italics of a footnote is unlikely to provoke an edit war even if people disagree with you.  But thanks for making your point on the talk page - much appreciated.Dejvid (talk) 12:14, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
