Latin inscription[edit]

Looking at the photo of the grave (here) the inscription clearly writes "superstes" not "superestes". The latter is also not a Latin word. The source, Monuments and Monumental Inscriptions in Scotland by Charles Rogers typoed it, so what to do? So far, we have one source (provided by User:DuncanHill in this discussion) rendering it correctly, but I don't know whether "The Edinburgh Drift" is enough of a RS to use for fixing this sourced typo. If someone else can find a more reliable source quoting the inscription correctly, please share! (Pinging Martinevans123 as well). ---Sluzzelin talk 16:47, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. Many thanks for telling me. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:49, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

you're quite welcome, though you didn't even give me the chance to fix my dangling participle before someone responded to my post. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Surely a photograph of the inscription is a reliable source? DuncanHill (talk) 20:56, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's likely that fixing the typo will be challenged, based on the photo. Yet a source is given in the article, and that source writes "superestes". Not sure it's quite WP:BLUESKY either. I guess we could risk using common sense ... ---Sluzzelin talk 21:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly speaking don't we also need a WP:RS for any Latin translation? It's hardly common parlance. "Et bibere, ergo sum", as they say at the University of Woolamaloo. Rena Sharples 123 (talk) 21:39, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly ballroom, and the first champion of that common parlance appears to have been Scottish too! "Fixed" (in the laziest possible way). ---Sluzzelin talk 20:38, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
