Siracusa
Not English (Italian). Among 4 quotes, one is translated from Greek [Pindaros], two are from Latin [Cicero]. Posted in October 2006 and no attempt of translation.--Aphaia 04:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete : Do we prefer to have translations from Greek or Latin directly, not via Italian? --Aphaia 04:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 12:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless translated. Entry posted in Oct 2006 and need for translation noted soon after. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 14:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Now translated. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 11:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. My girlfriend and I fixed this, not by translating from the Italian, but by finding independent English translations of the original Latin and Greek. If anyone thinks it worthwhile I can provide the Latin text for the Cicero and Virgil (but not the Greek for the Pindar, I couldn't find it). Personally I don't think it would add much. --Ubiquity 23:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article was already called Siracusa, and I made a Syracuse page which redirects to it, but upon further thought it should be the other way around in en.wikiquote. Perhaps an admin can fix that if the decision is to keep? --Ubiquity 00:04, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure but Plato referred to Syracusai in his 7th epistle? --Aphaia 00:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep now. Ubiquity, thank you for your works (of you and your girlfriend). Could you please provide also the translators' name, if possible? --Aphaia 00:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename Seems OK now but most English speakers would call it Syracuse. After all, we say Germany not "Deutschland".--Cato 20:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. If the title is changed to "Syracuse," perhaps it should be "Syracuse, Sicily" to match the wikipedia article. - InvisibleSun 18:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
