Godawful "article"

As usual on wikiality, every opportunity to promote music and commercial products is used in the thinly disguised "triva-style" section. This list is just a list of commercial products and the only reason for their inclusion here is to promote their sale. Or SPAM as it's otherwise known. Wikiality is full of it, and no doubt Jimbo Wales and his cronies are skimming their cut of the viral marketing.

And... is this article the best someone can do on a character that has existed in mythology for over a thousand years? If she were a star wars character, there'd be 10,000 words on her outfit alone.

Just shows you the caliber and depth of knowledge of people who write for wikiality. Godawful, lame article -- and yet, because of the skewed, gamed page-ranking that wikiality enjoys, this pile of crap comes up first over high quality, scholarly articles on Calliope. That's just plain wrong, unfair and unjust. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.136.214 (talk) 15:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you learned to be a bit less of a cunt over the last 12 years. --2601:246:CB00:A820:ACD1:2860:2995:8BDC (talk) 23:39, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

beautiful voice?

Last time I had ancient Greek was at school decades ago, but doesn't it mean "the one with the beautiful face/looks"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.155.69.242 (talk) 08:49, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional children and proper positioning in "children" section

I am planning to add additional children of Calliope I've found sources for including Hymen, Ialemus, and Phrontis. I also noticed Rhesus, Calliope's son, is mentioned within the article, but not added to the "Children" section of the article. Let me know if these sources don't seem fit for the article.

Hi GenteelEuphrosyne. The first source you've cited there looks as it might be acceptable, but I would err on the side of avoiding it. It doesn't contain citations, and the cover and presentation of the book indicates that it is aimed towards a non-scholarly audience; on Wikipedia we generally prefer more academic works. The second and third works you've listed are fine. They are both translations of the same work, so I would use the latter, which is the more recent translation.

As to the "Children" section of the article, I assume you mean in the infobox. WP:IBP contains helpful guidance on the use of infoboxes; note in particular that they are for the key facts that appear in an article (emphasis mine). There doesn't seem to be much logic behind the inclusion and exclusion of different genealogical relations in the current infobox, but a good general approach is to consider whether a piece of information is "key" to the article's subject before adding it there. – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:51, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
