Antikythera mechanism
[edit]"but it didn’t really work very well!" What an anticlimatic way to end the Antikythera mechanism article! I think you can say the same thing about any device, including your computer, but it has the advantage of being able to easily patch its operating system. Anyway, thanks for your contributions! Fantastic! Americanplus (talk) 00:37, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
— Yourself, My talk, Not long ago
I agree, but I couldn't help but add that quote, it actually made me giggle a little. I think it helps to remind us that although there is no doubt about how amazing this mechanism was we have advanced so much and can now respect and critique our ancestors on equal levels. Indeed, I'm a Linux user, so I'm used to things being beautiful but not working very well ;) Been a pleasure editing, I think I'm about done, other than some small edits here and there I think I have added all I need to. Thanks for your comments.--Lead holder (talk) 04:23, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Xerxes I. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:37, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
