Lloyd, p 47

Just "Lloyd, p 47" is not much of a reference. There's nothing to say who Lloyd is, never mind what his book is called, or which edition has that quote on page 47. 9 October 2008 P Ingerson

Well, better late than never, I guess. Added refs, including Lloyd 1975, for the record. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:43, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is historica not capitalized throughout? Please fix!

I saw in Brazen bull that historica was not capitalized, and I thought this was an error, came here, and discovered that page was following this one's usage! The HORROR!!!

If there is a good reason, then please post it here. Maybe this article was based on that of another language? That would not be a good reason to keep it this way, though.

You see, linked to in this article, Natural History (Latin: Naturalis Historia) is capitalized the way I would expect. Based on this fact, I would simply change the article instead of posting here, but I don't have the wherewithal to do so at this time. Would someone please fix this throughout and on the title for me and the greater good? Thank you very much!

I think the rationale is that Bibliotheca historica is Latin, which is generally less capitalisation-happy than English... Quite why we give this Greek work's title in Latin, I don't know. Furius (talk) 20:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
