Removals

I omitted some content in these diffs:

We know he was consul in 294.
I have MRR and Broughton does not say that he was the second consular Atilius.
That the previous consul was P Decius Mus is irrelevant to this Regulus. Whoever the original author was also linked the wrong P Decius Mus. Linked was the consul of 340 rather than the consul of 295.
I integrated the portions relating to what he did during his consulship.
Zmeskal, Adfinitas (2009), does not note this Regulus as father of the later M Regulus who was consul in 267. He, in fact, notes no genealogical information at all for this Regulus.
Origins of the Atilii shouldn't be here. There were some notes to that effect (This entire section is drawn from the Wikipedia article on Aulus Atilius Catalinus. Munzer is apparently a source, but proper citations and verification is desperately needed ... This [a later passage] makes no sense ...) in the article that seem to be meant for the talk page.
- If this unsourced portion could be verified it would be better placed in gens Atilia.
- I removed the section.
