Talk:Classical Attic

Latest comment: 19 years ago by Usrnme h8er

Someone put in a Stub indicator for this short article immediately after I wrote it.

But really, there's nothing more that should be said here.

Someone looking for this term should get an explanation of the term, and a referral to one or more articles in which the subject is dealt with in a larger context.

It also shouldn't be an automatic referral because Classical Attic is distinct (as a subset) from Attic dialect. A referral defines them as equivalents.

It's kind of like a Disambiguation page -- but disambiguation within one subject.

It should be just what it is: a short article that defines a superset or subset of something discussed in another article or articles, and then gives you a link or links for further information.

This Classical Attic article is a sub-set example, for a super-set example, see Attic-Ionic.

Would it be unsuitable to replace this with a redirect either to Attic-Ionic or Attic Greek? I see what you mean with the stub classification being kindof redundant, and thats why I am having a hard time with this article... A larger article on different forms of the greek language or Dialects of Ancient Greek with alot of redirects to it might be a better idea? Thoughts? I'm a bit of a mergist, and I don't really think that if a topic will never grow beyond a couple of sentences it needs its own article. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages with four '~' symbols in a row..., it adds the standard sig, just like this one: Usrnme h8er 13:35, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
