OCD has most of a column on this guy, and says nothing about him being "careless". What's the source for that claim? Stan 05:33, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi Stan, it comes from the Penguin Dictionary of Ancient History, details here. It doesn't go into further detail however, and given that it also describes Apollonius' pedantic nature, I too was a bit confused. By all means nix it if you like, I only did a quick article after wanting to do something on the two Herodians. adamsan 08:03, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Wikiquote[edit]

The article says "Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to: Apollonius Dyscolus" but when you click it, there is nothing at Wikiquote. Anybody know why that link is there? -- MithrasPriest (talk) 14:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the one edit by some anon (see [1]), so no way to know for sure what they were thinking. Sometimes people pre-emptively cross-link projects with the idea that if the other project ever got content, then the link would magically start being useful. (The idea would make more sense if the cross-link changed color, no way to tell beforehand whether it's worth clicking on.) Stan (talk) 15:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone remove whatever[edit]

is causing the source section to assert that 'This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "Apollonius" . Encyclopædia Britannica. 2 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press.'?Nishidani (talk) 15:09, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
