comment on Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation

You left a comment that the first paragraph of the lead needed clarifying. Any suggestions? It, of course, seems clear to me because I have been immersed in it for so long, so I am at a loss for new ideas right now. If you can point to, well, anything, it would be a great help. I have really struggled with this article. Help? Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:42, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm a bit unclear about what the article is about. Is it about a theory that Christianization of the Roman Empire was associated with the diffusion of innovation? Or is it about using diffusion of innovation to model the Christianization of the Roman Empire? Or something else? VR _talk 05:43, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Groan... this is bad. What am I gonna do for people who are unfamiliar with sociology? Diffusion of innovation is a theoretical approach to explaining how society's of all kinds change. It's been applied to the Roman empire in order to explain how the empire was changed. Yes, it's a model. It's a new explanation that's kind of, well, actually, it's revolutionary. It overturns earlier scholarship. I thought the lead explained that. I am apparently completely blind. I cannot see why it doesn't. I am hanging my head in shame, weeping copiously, with no hope. I have no idea what to do with this now. It's a truly important concept - undoing the previous 200 years - that WP should have an article on! And I have failed at communicating this. I am truly at a loss. How would you explain it? Is there another statement in the lead that helps at all? How would you restate? Diffusion is a new alternative explanation for how the Roman empire was Christianized. That's it. That's all there is. Please read the article! Does it get any clearer? Argghh! Sob!

Okay! I tried something! I can't tell if it's an improvement! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Can you look at it and tell me what you think? Is it any clearer? I'm sorry for the melodrama, but you have no idea what I have been through with this article in. the last year. It has been a fight from the get-go, and I am determined not to give up on it. Please help me insure its success.Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:00, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Jenhawk777: Sorry for the delay. The first sentence is now much clearer, thanks. I haven't looked at the rest of the article yet. Thanks for taking the time to engage with me.VR _talk 19:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Ditto! Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:46, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

You know, if you are actually going to go to the trouble of reading it, and commenting, it would be a good use of your time if you went ahead and picked up the GAN as the reviewer... how's that for impeccable logic? Hah! Of course, any input is appreciated - but you might consider it. No hard feelings if you don't - just sayin', you know? Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

That is a good point and I might just do that if that article remains unreviewed for a few months. But I'm more interested in providing input at Talk:Bible/GA1 - a more interesting topic, I'm sure you'd agree.VR _talk 23:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I find this article much more fascinating than the one on Bible. To each his own. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
