Sosigenes of Alexandria to
Sosigenes (astronomer)(No ancient source ever describes Sosigenes as an Alexandrian and the claim that he was from Alexandria is purely modern speculation. The classicist Peter Gainsford points this out in a post on his blog Kiwi Hellenist: http://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2022/05/julian-calendar.html)

Talk:Unto the ages of ages(I am not sure why the article is currently titled after the Latin phrase, since the phrase originates from Ancient Greek, not Latin, and this is the English Wikipedia, not the Latin Wikipedia. If we are going to have it any non-English language, it should be in Greek and if we are going to translate it from Greek into any other language, it should be English.)

Sirtir to
Sirtur(I am not sure if "Sirtir" is a correct spelling of the name, but "Sirtur" is definitely the more common spelling and the one that is used in at least half the sources cited in this article.)

Shakespeare's life to
Life of William Shakespeare(We should give his full name in the title of the article as a matter of form to distinguish him from other people with the last name "Shakespeare," even though the vast majority of people will surely know which "Shakespeare" we are talking about. Also, [subject] of [person] generally appears to be the more standard format for Wikipedia article on particular aspects of historical figures (e.g.
Military campaigns of Julius Caesar,
Reign of Cleopatra, etc.). It also sounds less colloquial.)

Talk:Destruction of the Library of Alexandria to
Talk:Decline of the Library of Alexandria(There is no single event that can be described as *the* "destruction" of the Library of Alexandria, because the Library declined gradually over the course of many centuries and suffered many disasters and setbacks over the course of that time. We do not even have conclusive documentation of the event that finally ended the original Library, which was most likely the attack of Aurelian in 270s, although no one really knows how much of the collection was actually left by then.)
