[edit] Disambiguation link

Contractor under the Mentor sector directs to a disambiguation page. The disambiguation page (unhelpfully) carries the definition, and this refers to a general understanding of "contractor". From a certain point of view redirecting to the disambiguation page helps, but is really "bad form". Would we be better linking to a specific contractor, or removing the link? I'll raise the point on the disambiguation page that we need a separate definition somehwere, properly linked to the dictionary. Not too sure what to do here... LeeG 13:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mentor vs. Mentes

As near as I can tell, Mentor and Mentes are separate people. In Odyssey I:225–228, Athena states "Behold in me / Mentes, the offspring of a chief renown'd / In war; Anchialus; and I rule, myself, / An island race, the Taphians oar-expert" (tr. Cowper). Which facts are all inconsistent with the description of Mentor presented here. In the abscence of other evidence, I'm removing "(sometimes Mentês)" from the lead.

[edit] Minimize Merger Mania

It has been suggested that Maître à penser be merged with Mentor, but no argument is developed making a case that it is logical to do so. Reading the 2 articles would leave one to question the value of such a merger. Recommend we not merge. Skaal - Williamborg (Bill) 02:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Odyssey Line Numbers
