[edit] Ancient Greek
Hi - I changed some of the etymological info in the introduction box - I think that the verb, grapho (transliteration...) better defines the etymology of "photography" than the noun (graphe). Although really, from a higher perspective, it's inconsequential, as both the noun and verb (I draw, a drawing) clearly have the same root, I think the change makes it easier to understand. I also removed graphis, because it's just the genetive form of graphe (ie - it means "of the drawing"). This sort of thing, with both, is found in etymological dictionaries, as it helps to better define the noun (and its declension), but graphe is standard enough for (IMO) the genetive to not need to be provided.

[edit] Narcissi vs. Camarcissi
Recently I have come upon evidence that their is a short memory simplex caused by motor lights and iris fixed camera motion that makes a subvortex mirror in the reflex of the lens. Often the victim of this lens obesity is called a camera bug, or fascist for having a peculiar stigmatism afflicted by this idle obsession with seeing mirrors or a camera lens. If true is there a cure for this person.... signed Blazing saddles —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ripleyhuling (talk • contribs) 20:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] categories
The categories template does not parse properly. I have tried to trace it back to where it worked, I have tried to repair it, I cant and frustrated I must ask others to help. (Do not be fooled by the preview edit... it always parses there for some reason just not on the portal page) Slysplace 01:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "not parse properly"? I can't see any problems in the Categories section, or with the 2 categories the portal belongs to. If it's a visual-layout problem, what is your web-browser? --Quiddity 18:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- It may actually be the the Portal (or Portal template). The categories section looks great on it's own, I see everything but on the portal page I see only the top line as links all others are invisible yet active links. Also this problem is duplicated on 3 computers thus far. Laptop with IE6 and both Home and Work with IE7. Slysplace | talk 15:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
