Talk:Ionic

The other Ionians are in this disambiguation page, despite them being Ionian rather than Ionic, because Ionic is the adjective for those Ionias and Ionians, and in one of the two cases is equivalent to Ionian. So, Ionic means "of or pertaining to" the Ionian people of the first item, and "of or pertaining to" the region Ionia of the second item. The latter Ionic items are also related to the people and region of the first two items, as, for instance, the Ionic order is from those people, and the definition of Ionian in the first item is somewhat important for grouping the latter items. So, unless Ionic is a normal (as, for one, the other Ionian and Ionia items are related to Ionic in the dictionary) adjective for Ionian Islands or Ionian Sea, then they do not belong in this disambiguation page. - Centrx 06:29, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Dicdef

Here's dicdef I removed (WP in not a dictionary). Incorpatre it to Wiktionary or an appropriate article if you like:

• In Greek and Latin prosody, an Ionic foot is a foot that consists of two long syllables followed by two short (major or greater ionic) or two short followed by two long (minor or smaller ionic). An Ionic metre is a metre that consists of Ionic feet.
• In typography, Ionic type is a typeface distinguished by prominent serifs and a high degree of legibility.--Commander Keane 02:08, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

What if another article links to "ionic", intending one of these meanings? Also, especially in the case of the typeface, "Ionic type" may be an appropriate title for a not-yet-created article and would therefore be appropriate to link to. - Centrx 23:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Inconsistancy with article referanced

the Ionians article says it is one of three groups of ancient greek people. the small description of that article here says there are 4 groups. Can someone get to the bottom of this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.25.4.74 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
