[edit] Notes/Comments/Questions

I've seen people say that they would support a Classical Greek Wikipedia, yet not an Attic Greek one, so I've now proposed a Classical Greek Wikipedia.

at si Atticam tollimus, quanta est Graeca classica?

  • Technical Question Are we going to use accents in this wiki? Yes, I know they are considered part of the spelling, but many Greek syllabi (such as that of Oxford University) do not require knowledge of accents, except when they are essential to the meaning of the word. If accents are not required (or if we can have someone dedicated to putting them in), Support LeighvsOptimvsMaximvs
  • I don’t mind whether accents are used or not. -- Erik 23:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Support

  • Support --HawkeyE 22:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC) (Wikipedia)
  • Support--Sectori
  • Support Maybe on the long term robots can help with the accents in the case of words that can only be accented in one way. I don't think it's a big issue, but I would prefer to see the accents in the text. Marcos 23:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support LeighvsOptimvsMaximvs
  • Support Patroklis If latin’s got its own wikipedia, I think it’s not normal at all that classical Greek hasn’t. Let’s change this! 19:10, 23 October 2006
