Talk:Aegialeus

Intention to split

I'm going to split this article and make it a disambig, just so we can sort out the interwikis that are also disambigs (having them as interwikis to a non-disambig also messes up the robots) Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 21:48, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Please make sure when you do this in the future that you attribute the original article when creating the page. The easiest way to do this is in the edit summary (e.g. "split from Aegialeus"). This attribution is required by the GFDL (to credit the original authors and not make it appear that you're the only author). Thanks! — madman 15:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposal for page contents.

I propose that the page, if it is to continue to be a disambiguation page, should read as follows:

---

Aegialeus (also Aegealeus, Egialeus) is the name of several individuals in Greek mythology or literature:

• Aegialeus (king of Sicyon), one of the sons of the river god Inachus
• Aegialeus (king of Argos), elder son of Adrastus, a king of Argos
• Aegialeus, an elderly fisherman in the Ephesian Tale, an Ancient Greek novel
• Aegialeus, an alternative name used by some scholars for Absyrtus, the son of Aeëtes who was murdered by Medea

---

Please note that the footnotes for the last sense are in Absyrtus. Although a foolish consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, consistency between disambiguation pages is not necessarily foolish; it is grounded in the logical purpose of such pages to serve as quick navigational guideposts.

Yep, that would have been proper all along. But some topics just seem to have this inescapable je ne sais quoi about them that can blind us all to the obvious stuff like that. Regards, Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 13:43, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

This looks OK, except the link to Greek mythology is unneeded. older ≠ wiser 14:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, of course. bd2412 T 21:02, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
