This caption seems to be a quotation from the artist. However she is wrong in thinking Cressida is Troilus' wife. She was his beloved. Is it better to retain the misleading wording because it is verbatim from the artist? Or should we remove the quotes and make it accurate?--Peter cohen (talk) 16:18, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. How about retaining Kaufmann's wording, but adding some explanatory text to the reference note? An alternative would be to move the start of the quoted portion a little (e.g. Troilus sees Cressida "in loving discourse with Diomedes and he wants to rush into the tent to catch them by surprise, but Ulysses and the other keep him back by force"). Rupert Clayton (talk) 16:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's already quite a large caption for a minor detail. I think I would therefore prefer the second option as addign less verbiage to the article.--Peter cohen (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking at it again "the other" is rather confusing. Ulysses is the only person holding Troilus in the picture. There is someone else further back holding the torch whom I take to be the notoriously ugly Thersites who makes his own sarcastic comments in the scene. (Act V, scene 2.)--Peter cohen (talk) 21:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We could also just put a "[sic]" after the word "wife". Awadewit (talk) 22:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's an idea. Could handle the other too.--Peter cohen (talk) 23:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A big thank you to the vandal fighters, especially since it is a holiday! Awadewit (talk) 23:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And a big thank you to you too Awadewit, for all that you did for the project (this article being just one tiny part of that). I miss you terribly. --Xover (talk) 18:33, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
