Naerhu's Commment[edit]

"generations of Seleucid kings, by far the mightiest rulers of the Hellenistic world." This makes it sound like all 11 generations were the mightiest rulers, which may be disputed. /User Naerhu 10Feb06

Uhh.. everything I've seen says Philip II died pretty early in his reign. What are the sources for this conquest of the rest of the region?

I frankly don't buy that and want to see some corroboration.

Slashdot user's complaint[edit]

User Zibblsnrt (125875) on Slashdot has denounced the accuracy of the current version of this article here. Unfortunately I know nothing about this material myself or I'd attempt to correct it. --Saucepan 21:59, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I've reverted to the last edit before the apparent alternative history invention added by anonymous User:194.47.63.12 on 15 July 2003. The rest of this Anon. user's "contributions" had better be checked now by someone more competent than I. I have looked at other edis and this Anon. seems competent. Wetman 22:23, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

My apologies. This was a misbegotten joke by myself after having discovered Wikipedia and written several edits on the very obscure last Seleucids, without believing anybody would ever read it. I have since mended my ways and can assure you that everything else is - thanks for the compliment - competent to the best of my capability. /User Sponsianus May 2005
