[edit] Greek name forms

An anon reverted my copyedit regarding the correct Greek name forms here ([1]). Excuse me, you evidently know no Greek. Plural names (ethnonyms) in -os or -o or -ois are not possible in Greek. All these names are of the same, standard pattern:

• Nominative Singular -os
• Nominative Plural -oi (Aspasioi, Astakenoi, etc.)

Other forms may occur in other cases (genitive -ōn, accusative -ous, dative -ois etc.), but not in the quotation forms we'd use in English.

Also, the English convention is when you use a Greek noun that is already a plural in Greek, in -oi, you don't add another English plural -s, so you don't turn "Aspasioi" into "Aspasiois" to make it an English plural.

You can find the correct Greek spellings in this online text of Arrian ([2]), and doubtless in a lot of other places. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Anon, you first demand that everybody else should discuss their changes here on talk ([3]), and then when I do just that, you go and blindly revert to your version again without even responding and with a misleading edit summary ([4])? What the...?! What's your point? What do you want? Can you please come here and state why you insist on those wrong and ahistorical name spellings? Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias in Battle with Ashvakayanas Section

Can anyone have a look at this section, it looks like it was written by a Indian Ultra-Nationalist. I'm going to remove some obvious editor opinions but I can't check it all out. --140.141.34.132 16:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
