Copying part of 'Memphis decree and its context' section for Rosetta Stone decree page?

[edit]

I've been very slowly working on Rosetta Stone decree and it needs a 'context' section. This article has a fantastic 'context' section, and far more thorough than anything I could hope to write given its featured article status. If it is okay with everyone here, I will copy the two or three paragraphs and bits and pieces needed from here to Rosetta Stone decree. Let me know if this is not the right course of action!

That should be fine. However, you'll need to state in you edit summary that it was copied from this article. Be sure you copy over all the sources for the text you copy. BilCat (talk) 01:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, will do :) Merytat3n (talk) 07:13, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is impossible to interact with the 3D model

[edit]

The "Description" section contains a 3D image of the Rosetta stone, with which in principle one should be able to interact (by using the mouse cursor). In reality, neither Firefox 116.0.2, nor Microsoft Edge 115.0.1901.203 are able to display the 3D image, let alone also interact with it. If this cannot be fixed, maybe remove the 3D image altogether? 109.98.44.53 (talk) 11:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, works perfectly fine for me in Microsoft Edge 115.0.1901.188. Took a good few seconds to load properly, but it works fine. Not tried in Firefox. Canterbury Tail talk 13:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tested in Firefox and Opera. It works in both: it disappears occasionally (unlike the real one) but it always comes back. Andrew Dalby 13:55, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What does Rosetta Stone actually say?

[edit]

Folks, it's been pretty long time since I am trying to find any information on the content of the Rosetta stone in translation into English or Russian. I've found nothing. They say it was decephered, but if it was why no information what Rosetta Stone is about? Those who know please, scratch a message to archistoriac@Gmail.com97 2.134.233.31 (talk) 17:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Rosetta Stone decree. A. Parrot (talk) 22:53, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its like in the first sentence feels like a easter egg; one may just expect a link to Decree. Surely this can be presented better? Aza24 (talk) 02:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I rearranged the sentence trying to make the link more visible. See what you think. A. Parrot (talk) 05:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Much better I think! Thanks for adjusting it. Aza24 (talk) 17:34, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
