This article says that Cythera is the (mythical) birthplace of Venus. The article about Venus does not include this statement. The article about Aphrodite says that Cythera is the birthplace of Aphrodite. so does the article about Cythera. Should we change this article? --Etxrge 08:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are correct. The Cambridge Paperback Guide to Theatre, page 77: "In 1680 the

Comedie-Italienne was founded, occupying the Hotel de Bourgogne as a permanent theatre. Expelled in 1697 after a scandal, the company reformed in 1716 - with 11 actors under Luigi Riccoboni." IIRC my source for Italy was the current Britannica article about Watteau. Will check it when I get home. If they indeed state that the players were expelled from Italy, there's a new entry for Wikipedia:Errors in the Encyclopædia Britannica that have been corrected in Wikipedia.

Actually, the Britannica also says the actors were expelled from France. Only my hasty reading is to blame. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 22:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pity. I was hoping for a new entry on that page! ;) Cheers. RodC 00:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
