Wiktionary uses only the scientific romanization whereas we don't even list it and instead list three others. I think it's a very bad idea to use a different romanization than Wiktionary does. Most editors will copy-paste romanizations from there.
In addition, /info/en/?search=Template:Lang-grc refers to this page but doesn't explain which of the three romanizations listed should be used.
The easiest and best solution would be to automate the process using the code at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:inherited or is it https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module:grc-translit ? -- Espoo ( talk) 18:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
In the first paragraph of the article we read that Ancient Greek:
is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek , Dark Ages, the Archaic period, and the Classical period.
In the second paragraph of the article we read:
This article primarily contains information about the Epic and Classical periods of the language.
The Epic period? This is very confusing. No Epic period was previously mentioned. So, to which of those periods of the first paragraph does the Epic period of the second paragraph correspond? Toddcs ( talk) 13:05, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
