December 2009

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Population bottleneck. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 19:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Publius Petronius

Hi there, thanks for adding this article. I thought you should be made aware that the article Publius Petronius Turpilianus links to Publius Petronius and claims that Publius Petronius Turpilianus was the adopted son of Publius Petronius who was "conqueror and first governor of Britain". Unless there was more than one Publius Petronius, then the mention may need to be resolved, which may involve disambiguating the Publius Petronius article title. Also, Petronius (disambiguation) links to Publius Petronius with a note that he was the governor of Aegyptus which also may be imprecise. You might be interested in clarifying these. Cheers!

Thanks very much for this, Thorncrag. These Petroniuses are confusing. Gaius the governor of Egypt was about 60 years earlier, so not the same chap obviously. Nor was this Publius Petronius of Syria the same chap as Petronius Arbiter who wrote the Satyricon. The relationship with Petronius Turpilianus is more difficult. I cannot see that he was ever called Publius, so the Wikipedia article may be wrong there. He was made governor of Britain in place of Suentonius Paulinus because the latter, after defeating Boudicca was bent on continuing revenge. But Turpilianus was not the conqueror or first governor of Britain - that was Aulus Plautius. Actually, you have read that wrongly. That Wikipedia article is suggesting that Turpilianus was the son of Publius by the sister of Plautius.I have seen no verification or contradiction of that.

I'll try to put in some disambiguation on these articles.Logical Analyst (talk) 16:38, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I've improved this article a little and also the disambiguation article. For better disambiguation the Publius Petronius Turpilianus article should have "Publius" removed from the title, but I can't see a way to do that.Logical Analyst (talk) 18:13, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To do that you can use the "Move page" function and move it to the new desired title. However, before we do that, take a look at the pages that link to it -- there's a number of them. We may want to look at each of those and adjust their links and/or references to Publius Petronius Turpilianus before moving. Thorncrag 20:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...also, a search for the name reveals quite a lot of mentioning. So, I'm not sure what to do at this point... Thorncrag 20:18, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, I can see from these links that renaming and moving will not be best after all. I'll make a small change to Publius Petronius and hope that and the disambiguous page will clarify for everyone. Logical Analyst (talk) 20:52, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
