Link to UR-language version

User:Wahabijaz recently added a link to the UR (Urdu?) version of this article, but without the necessary double brackets. However, when I add the brackets, the link displays with different characters than were input, and one fewer characters than were input, despite the originals still being held "in back." Admittedly, I don't know what conventions might be coming into play, and the station I'm at right now has spotty Unicode support. But I'd appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable or better equipped would check my work. (I'll check myself when I'm better equipped, too.) --Americist 23:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "Menoetius" is consistent with the conventions listed in that page, since it contains the inflectional ending -os, for which the Latin -us is substituted.70.107.165.191 05:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hercules

Hercules is also part of the altas story too. 147.148.97.255 (talk) 08:27, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hercules is mentioned prominently even in the lead of the article. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 04:24, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned user draft

MajoranaF merged an article and made other edits here on 6 Nov 2018, made further edits in a sandbox copy User:MajoranaF/sandbox/Draft of article 2, and then abruptly stopped editing Wikipedia.

Please would an interested editor review these sandbox edits and merge what is useful, then blank the user page under WP:COPIES, and leave a note here when done? – Fayenatic London 17:32, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Atlas the Libyan mountain god

@NebY the body of the article describes atlas as a libyan mountain god, the greek sources point to this and a mountain region in north africa is named after him. if you would like to remove the sourced content let us discuss the changes here Potymkin (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(The above editor has been indefinitely blocked; I respond in case anyone thinks this is an open question.) The edit[1] that would begin the article "In Greek mythology, Atlas is a Libyan god" and make other changes misrepresented Hesiod et al and represented occasional extraordinary (and late) primary sources as reliable and typical, breaching MOS:LEAD, WP:DUE, WP:PRIMARY and WP:OR. Conventionally in Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan, a Greek deity, who lives far to the West, beyond even encircling Ocean. Later he or a namesake was associated with northwest Africa (though at least one writer placed him in the far north instead). NebY (talk) 17:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
