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.

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.

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)
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.

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)
