Talk:Chrestomathy

"examples" section edit

Since someone decided that Program Chrestomathy wasn't notable, and redirected it here, illustration of program chrestomathies was lost. I'd suggest adding Rosetta Code to that list, as well as a link to the list of chrestomathies hosted there. Unfortunately, Rosetta Code is my site, so that doesn't exactly make me look like a neutral party. What's the process for this? --Michael Mol (talk) 18:21, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

This is not just a question of neutrality. Indeed, "Program Chrestomathy" is your invention. And, linking here from Rosetta Code and then using Rosetta Code as a citation in chrestomathy makes for a circular definition. If you want to use chrestomathy as a term on your website, why not? But, legitimizing that by changing Wikipedia is dirty pool. Advertise your web site elsewhere.Kckid (talk) 04:32, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Trojan Cycle edit

Articles about the Epic Cycle/Trojan Cycle refer to a "Chretomathy" of "Proclus" and link here. But this article has no information about this particular "Chrestomathy". Either this article needs to be fixed or those ones do. If this is really a famous Chrestomathy, then perhaps it could be listed in the examples, and those other articles could also be fixed individually.
