A fact from Carlsberg papyrus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 21 November 2007.

Instead of calling this the "Carlsberg papyrus", wouldn't it be more accurate to call it the "Carlsburg papyrus collection"? Or is this the accepted name for this collection of papyrus fragments? -- llywrch (talk) 17:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

According to the main source it is called the "Papyrus Carlsberg Collection", and from that source there is no evidence I can see that the collection and the "Carlsberg Papyrus" mentioned in the other source are one and the same. The "Carlsberg Papyrus" mentioned in the second source could be "among" the papyri in the Carlberg collection, but it isn't the collection itself. Andplus (talk) 18:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
