Intra-article purple prose
The purple prose in the opening is funny and all, but is it appropriate for an encyclopedia? I'm not quite sure of the policy on this. 64.251.57.10 (talk) 14:15, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

A better translation
I found a better -- and much more literal -- translation and put it in. The previous translation was very far from the original Latin. Nevertheless, it's preserved in the notes. But perhaps it's better to place it here in the Talk instead, for the record? Y-barton (talk) 03:00, 6 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Unsure where the previous one comes from. It exists (with modifications, I think) in the oldest version of this page. Have marked it as possible original research. --mathieu ottawa (talk) 16:10, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
