[edit] image

The image you added to Euphronios and Sarpedon was a good one. Any particular reason why you then removed it? Curious, Chick Bowen 21:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

It's probably copywrite protected. Only 2d images are allowed as public domain, I wasn't thinking when I added it. I can contact the place I pulled it from and see if they'll give wikipedia permission, and if so I'll add it back. - Ravenous 21:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, smart thinking--I wondered if copyright was the issue. The image is pretty low resolution, so a fair use claim should be possible--particularly since there's really no way to get a free image of a Euphronios work (now that the Louvre bans photography, as do most American museums). {{fairusein}} might be the best tag. Chick Bowen 21:27, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... not a bad idea. - Ravenous 21:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Excellent--I just fiddled with the tags a little bit. By the way, since we claim it's low-res it probably should be lower than it is--I can't edit it now because I'm at a public computer, but I'll do so at home tonight. Looks good. Chick Bowen 22:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for putting the name back in the link. Sorry I missed that. RupertMillard 00:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poetics

Hi, you deleted books like "Aristotle in Hollywood" from Poetics [1] without giving a reason. Could you explain to me why you deleted them? I'm interested, thanks :-) Peter S. 22:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Most of the "External links" sections in these articles on classical works contain only links to translations - and I've been working on improving those lists. When I edited the one for Poetics, I must have missed that there was a non-translation item in the list (I should be more observant). Anyway, we can set up a new External links section and add it back if you want. If this is a book you've read, would you be interested in adding some info from it to the section "Influence of Work"? That section definately needs more. Then we can put it in a "References" section... Ravenous 23:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I read the book (good one btw). I'm not sure it should be mentioned in "Influence of the work", though, since "Aristotle in Hollywood" is not really a bestseller. I think it's one of the best introductions into the rather difficult Poetics, though. I might add some info about it at a later time, don't have much time right now. I just added a new section "References" and put the book inside - is that ok with you? Peter S. 00:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure - that's fine with me. From the summary I read of the book, it may shed some insight into Aristotle's influence on modern day film. If that's the case, I think some info from it would be appropriate. Whether directly or indirectly, Poetics has influenced script-writing immensely. I believe I might have some other references on the shelf here that go into the subject, so I'll add to that section when I get a chance. Ravenous 02:04, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, parts of the Poetics are lost, and this book tries to fill in the blanks, and creates a new Poetic theory. It then applies this to Film, TV and novels. I'd be glad to read your additions :-) Peter S. 15:29, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek Theatre

Hi, I just read your note on the WikiProject Theatre discussion page. I have been looking over your contributions to Greek Theatre and just wanted to thank you for your work! It is marvelous. I had not even noted your additions to the template page. They are lovely! As I said in my response, I'm working on creating some smaller WikiProjects for specific areas of theatre. My current project is Elizabethan Theatre, but once I finish I think there should be one for Ancient Greek Theatre. I would be interested to have your input and again, thanks for your hard work! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 22:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, glad I could be of some help. I'm looking forward to seeing an Ancient Greek Theatre project. I'll be compiling a list of things I think the play pages need help with. Let me know if you need any other assistance setting up the project. - Ravenous 00:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protagoras

Thanks for catching my typo that made Protagoras minus two when he died... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help Please

Ancient Greek comedy needs work and I thought it might be right up your alley, I don't have the experience needed to do it myself so if your active, it would be great if you could take a look.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Niobid krater.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Niobid krater.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
