Macrons for title of work on atomic theory

Under the heading Physics, the title of the work by Rudjer Boscovich is shown as "Theoria philosophiae naturalis redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium", which disregards macrons. For assistance in adding macrons to the title, I referred to a Collins Gem bidirectional dictionary by D. A. Kidd, MA, Professor of Classics, University of Canterbury, New Zealand. On page v, it is stated: "Throughout this Dictionary all vowels known or believed by the best authorities to be long are marked with a line above them; those unmarked are either known to be short or of uncertain quantity." If macrons are to be shown in this title, then my best solution is "Theōria philosophiae nātūrālis redacta ad ūnicam lēgem vīrium in nātūrā existentium", which someone else may wish to copy and paste in place of what is there now. I do not know Wikipedia policy on the use of macrons or whether Rudjer Boscovich used them in this title. The Latin version of Wikipedia, Vicipaedia, seems to be generally without macrons, although they are shown in the article section about the pronunciation of Latin vowels.

The message above should have been followed by "Wavelength 00:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)". Evidently, I forgot to add the four tildes at that time. Wavelength 17:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
