[edit] Hesperos and Phosphorus

If we were to change the terminology, we should do so consistently. Both of these pages most naturally should link to Venus, which is better than the current content-poor disambiguation pages such as Morning Star, which would be confusing since the pages make no prominent mention of these terms. I'm guessing we should change the preamble to accomodate the links, saying that the ancients saw two celestial bodies that were alter discovered to be one.

Thank you for the welcome! I quite agree that the changes should be made consistently. There also seems to be some confusion where some articles link to sense rather than sense and reference. I'm sure there's some semi-automated way of fixing these, but as a new encyclopaedist, it's somewhat beyond my ken. I've stolen your 'edit box' (which I suppose is 'encouraged' under the GFDL.)

Best,
