Prose Suggestions

[edit]

Please note that almost all of these are suggestions, and can be implemented or ignored at your discretion. Any changes I deem necessary for the article to pass GA standards I will bold.

  • The good reputation the wealthy would gather through these efforts allowed for them to gain favors from other wealthy Romans. In the Pro Plancio, a legal defense of Gnaeus Placius in 54 BCE, Cicero asks "Who ever can have, or who ever had such resources in himself as to be able to stand without many acts of kindness on the part of many friends?" it looks like the primary source is being used to cover the The good reputation the wealthy would gather through these efforts allowed for them to gain favors from other wealthy Romans. bit as well as the In the Pro Plancio, a legal defense of Gnaeus Placius in 54 BCE, Cicero asks "Who ever can have, or who ever had such resources in himself as to be able to stand without many acts of kindness on the part of many friends?" section; while the primary source is fine for the second portion, we would want an independent source for the first one.
  • Clement I, the Catholic pope from 88 to 99 CE seems easier to phrase this as Catholic Pope Clement I (r. 88–099).
  • All throughout, there is inconsistent titling of emperors, with some being called emperor on their first mention and others not. I would suggest standardizing to "Emperor [X]", and including reign templates, such as: "Emperor [X] (r. y–z)" on their first mention, and merely [X] afterwards.
  • I've fixed the more tedious bits (typos, grammar, duplicate links, duplicate refs, ref issues).
    @Graearms: That is all my suggestions; once the ref piece above is resolved, I will pass the review. A very neat little article; I shall hope to see it at FAC. Apologies again for the delay! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 20:25, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Iazyges: I should have fixed these issues in a few recent edits Graearms (talk) 22:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Great! Passing now. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 22:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
