[edit] Weird redirect

The Phanto link redirects to a list of video-game characters (specifically, List of Mario series enemies). I am sure that Greek philosophers did not teach video game characters. What is the reason for the link? Someone the Person 23:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The reason for the link is that "Phanto" is an enemy in the Mario series of games. Anyway, I've fixed it - I created a page on Phanto of Phlius, although, rather like the computer game character, I suspect that there isn't much to say about the chap.

[edit] Philolaus has two entries on Wikipedia

Someone seems to have created a second page on Philolaus: Philolaus of Croton. Can someone who knows something about 5th century Pythagoreanism see if there is anything worth merging from that page into this one? Singinglemon 23:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

That's what I love about Wikipedia, if you point out an error, you get an immediate rush of enthusiastic volunteers all eager to fix the problem. At least, I guess that's what would have happened if this had been the episode guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer or something. :-) Anyway, I've now moved stuff over from Philolaus of Croton and redirected the page to this one.
