[edit] Promenade concert

Nice work on the new article. Have you any plans to work on The Proms article? I've been pondering doing some more radical work on it, but most of my sources are currently in storage (and will be until late May). It would be good to try and get it up to featured article status, perhaps in time for the first or last Prom this year. David Underdown 10:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. It has been an interesting topic and I've learned while researching it. I hadn't thought about editing The Proms article but would be happy to do so if it is not treading on anyone's toes. It could indeed do with some expanding and tidying. I'll give it some thought. Hikitsurisan 11:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

So long as the article ends up better than it starts, and you keep to all Wikipedia policies, I don't really see how you can step on anyone's toes. That the whole point of this place (as I see it).
Good work on the Henry Wood and Robert Newman articles too by the way. Just one thing, although they are not hugely long, it might be worth putting a few section headings in. The table of contents that's then generated helps give a quick overview of what's in the article. David Underdown 11:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suriname River

Thanks for proofing. Yes, sounds much better now - sounded right when I was thinking in Dutch .Bridesmill 16:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zeugma

Hi, The Macauley quote is nice but I wouldn't have classed it a Zeugma myself (I don't claim to be an expert in the area, so maybe I'm just plain wrong here). It looks to me that dropping is being used in the same way in both parts of the sentence. Dlyons493 Talk 19:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Definitions seem to differ quite widely and I think the article both reflects that and suffers from it a little. What would be useful maybe would be to list the various definitions and, for each quote, note under which defintions(s) it woul/would not be Zeugma. I might take a stab at that sometime.

[edit] Working on an update for zeugma

I have been spending the last few weeks researching the zeugma for the purpose of expanding the article. I was first introduced to the term while reading Tacitus in my 5th semester of Latin. It came up again while reading Cicero, Livy and Ovid. The article as it stands now makes no mention of the specific kinds of zeugma mentioned in Quintillian and Rhetorica ad Herennium such as the prozeugma and hypozeuxis. I am assembling the material and would welcome a critical critique in the name of accuracy. I have also recently expanded chiasmus and have my eye on tricolon and isocolon. Let me know what you think! Regards, --Ben Trent 19:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
