Dialogi

[edit]

According to the Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, De Beneficiis is not part of the Dialogi. Any thoughts on this being changed?

Clean-up

[edit]

I removed the long "Synopsis" and lists of "Persons mentioned in the text" from this article ([1]). The synopsis was just a copy-and-paste from the contents page of the Aubrey Stewart translation [2] - as it stands it is too cryptic for an encyclopedia article, it's better just to link to the page on wikisource if there is any need for people to see it. The index of names copied-and-pasted into this article was pretty meaningless content. Pasicles (talk) 01:53, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes

[edit]

I was just involved in an article review where I was reminded of the Manual of Style guidelines that blockquotes should not be used for quotes of less than 40 words, and the use of pull quotes should be avoided unless there is a reason why that quotes highlights a main theme in the topic. I'll make those changes. -- Zac Δ talk! 04:36, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
