Greek transliteration

[edit]

It's been a good many years since I studied classical Greek, but I question the transliteration of ζῳδιακός, ζῴδιον and ζῷον as, respectively, "zōidiakòs", "zōidion" and "zōion". It seems to me that these should be "zōdiakòs", "zōdion" and "zōon". Why is there an "i" after the transliterated omega in each of these words? CodeTalker (talk) 03:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As there have been no responses, I have changed the transliterations to what I believe is correct. CodeTalker (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Discussion

[edit]

I'm considering a merge. Specifically of Zodiac and Western astrology. As well as Astrology and History of astrology. It's being discussed on the Astrology Talk page here.

The greek word for "animals" cited here, means a living being, and thus includes humans and animals. The explanation given in the article should be removed because it is false. 176.201.192.137 (talk) 17:41, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need the 2024 Zodiac Calendar?

[edit]
Resolved

I'm not sure what purpose is served by the recent addition of this "Zodiac Calendar". As noted by @Praemonitus:, it is only valid for one year, 2024. Is it going to be useful in future years? Is someone going to update it every year? There's no explanation of how to read it or what the dates around the circumference mean, and the phrase "Zodiac calendar" doesn't even appear elsewhere in the article. I'm not seeing that it adds much useful information to the article. CodeTalker (talk) 20:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True but if they add 2024 they should add 2025-2033 as well as 2024, as noted by @CodeTalker and @Praemonitus. 206.57.152.111 (talk) 15:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a general topic page. I think calendar-specific information should be kept on their own pages, along with suitable references. Cf. List of conjunctions (astronomy). Praemonitus (talk) 15:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see the calendar in question. There have been a ridiculous number of changes in the last few days. Unless someone posts either a link to the section in question, or a searchable quote, I will think of this thread as complete and closed. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the calendar in Special:Diff/1243936009 on Sep 4. I think this thread can be closed. CodeTalker (talk) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
