[edit] Cite template change

I have reverted the insertion of a {{cite book}} template for the first reference to the "Corinthian War" article in the Oxford Classical Dictionary. I did this because

1. Simon Hornblower is the editor, not the author, of the OCD, and
2. the reference with the template inserted doesn't list the specific article in the book that is being cited.

I don't know if there is an appropriate template for citing a work like the OCD; if so, there would be no harm in using that, but cite book led to a rather misleading reference. --Robth^Talk 14:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5th century

The featured article blurb omits the "bc" after 5th century when refering to the Athenian Empire, it looks a little confusing. L0b0t 12:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

I understand that the standard for spelling of Greek place names currently is to use "k" in place of "c," as it is a hard sound. On that note, however, why is it not spelled "Korinth," then? I ask not to be clever, but out of a genuine curiousity. --Raulpascal 18:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

That's changed actually; it was at one time the standard to use a "k"--which makes sense, as the Greek letter being transliterated is "Κ" (kappa). This changed at some point in the twentieth century, however, presumably because "k" is a very awkward letter in English, and spellings like "Corinth" are now universally used. --Robth^Talk 03:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
