| Nisi fallor, ''symbola'', non ''symbolum'', Mediaeuale Latinum uarium ''symbolus'' ("token, symbol"), a uerbo Graece ''symbolon'', signum a quo rem scit uel infert, te in animo habuisse puto.

|bgcolor="lightgrey"| Unless I'm mistaken, I think you meant ''symbola'', not ''symbolum'', a Medieval Latin variant of ''symbolus'' ("token, symbol") from Geek ''symbolon'', a sign by which one knows or infers a thing. But doesn't ''symbola'' refer to a "contribution" in general? So it doesn't seem like any of those words fit the meaning of "article", nor does ''articulus'' (even in the sense of "part of a discourse" or "part of a thing", it doesn't have much to do with "article"). How lengthy a word is is less important than how accurate it is; if ''commentatio'' or ''commentationes'' is the best word to mean "article", we should recommend, and practice, the use of that. And if there are ''other'' good words that can also be used to mean this, we can always, as I said above, provide more than one option to users. For example, if there's a noteworthy source that says that ''symbolum'' is commonly used to mean "article" in the modern sense, we could list that as an option. Unfortunately, none of the options provided thus far seem very classical, but I suppose it's better than complete misuses like ''articulus''... -[[Usor:Adamas|Adamas]] 00:02, 13 Aprilis 2006 (UTC)
