Talk:Fornax

Mythology ROTFLs

Text says:

Fornax, in Roman mythology, was the goddess of bread and baking, although this has nothing to do with the constellation (fornax is just the Roman word for furnace), as the constellation was created in 1763.

Yes, but why then is that written here? ;-) Very interesting facts written with best intent – but that should require an article Fornax (goddess) or some such. In Fornax (constellation) we would need some text about chemical furnaces as they were used in the end of 18th century in order to get a historically proper mnemonic for learning the constellation.

Besides – that text made me hungry, for some reason... Rursus declamavi; 15:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fornax is the 'Roman' word for furnace, ummm... I think you mean latin...--Part Time Security 13:50, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The italian word for "Fornax" is "fornace"... I agree with Part Time Security doubt: 'Roman' word has little if no meaning nowadays except if you consider it referred to Romance languages in general that developed from latin from the sixth to ninth centuries. So maybe "romance word" would make more sense. Comments are welcome. M aurice Carbonaro 10:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

POV or NPOV?

At 14:57(UTC), on the 31st January 2013 a contribution I have made adding (...) of the celestial sphere (...) to the article has been undone by Arthur Rubin (talk) with the following motivation:

Reverted 1 edit by Maurice Carbonaro (talk): No sense this makes. ...

It looks Point of view to me and a violation to Neutral point of view that editors would normally expect from an Administrator.

I stand by that. The celestial sphere has little to do with constellations. If you got the idea from another constellation article, please let me know, so I can remove it there. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
