Iazyges top responder on the FAR

Stats excerpted as of 20 March, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please set up separate sections for each nomination. This FAR presents a FASA nomination challenge; although it was somewhat long and a bit difficult, with multiped editors helping out and responding, none of them rise to high levels of authorship. Nonetheless, the bronze star could not have been saved without their efforts. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • While I'm not opposed to receiving FAS awards, I feel I did very little in this particular review, so I respectfully decline to receive an award for this one. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks anyway for the helpful effort, Iazyges; it was hard to sort out who should get credit for this one, and your feedback was appreciated. Withdrawing the nom as we do work to respect declines at FASA. SandyGeorgia (Talk)

HF comments

[edit]

Ready for the Tetrarchy section, will resume tomorrow after church. Hog Farm Talk 03:54, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Back at it:

  • "The historian Fergus Millar notes, probably somewhere on the Balikh River)" - both a sentence fragment and an unmatched closing parantheses
  • "Other histories of the period do not note these events." - this may be just my opinion, but I've always felt that arguments from silence require a source
    • I can't see the point of including that comment other than to cast doubt upon Faustus' account, but the Cambridge Ancient History (cited for the battle) seems to take Faustus at face value. Removed. Though to be honest I don't get the point of that entire footnote! Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 09:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • CN tag in the retirement section needs addressed
  • "an inscription at Sexaginta Prista on the Lower Danube extolled restored tranquility to the region" - given the tetrarchy's tendency to manipulate records of history, is this really worth quoting?

I think that's all from me. Hog Farm Talk 00:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
