[edit] Requested move

I think a non-native English speaker started this page. There is no English, Greek, or Latin word "Ipotane". To have "Silenus" redirect to an article entitled "Ipotane" is misleading. I have retitled the article "Silenus" and removed all references to "Ipotanes". If the original poster would care to find the English word or its Greek original to which they meant to refer, then they should feel welcome to revise my edit. Charlie

What you did was create a duplicate of the article. I'm with you on changing it to Silenus, but since there is already a "Silenus" page, I believe we'd need an administrator to move Ipotane over and preserve it's edit history. -Ravenous 14:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Could a source be found? "Ipotane", perhaps just from John Mandeville's zany book of travel-marvels, isn't recognizable to me, doesn't appear at the ordinarily quite thorough http://www.theoi.com, or in my OED, and the only available article page history is User:Stemonitis' move of the page to Silenus. Who started all this? one wonders. --Wetman 03:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
