Speedy deletion nomination of Gaius Sentius Saturninus (propreator Macedonia 88 BC)

Hello LuciusHistoricus,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gaius Sentius Saturninus (propreator Macedonia 88 BC) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Battle of the Lycus

Hi LuciusHistoricus! I just wanted to say what a great job you are doing with Battle of the Lycus. I see that you have cited the lead (the introductory section), but not the sections below it. It is really important that you provide citations or footnotes for each section, showing where the information came from for the information in that section. This forms a part of Wikipedia policy known as verifiability. Each paragraph should have at least one citation or footnote. When you are happy with the article, why not list the article at WP:MHAR for someone to take a look, make an assessment of it against the Milhist quality assessment scale, and get some feedback? We have several members who are active working on Roman era articles, for example, Iazyges, who is one of our coordinators. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Peacemaker! Thanks for the compliment. I will improve the article some more and list it at WP:MHAR (as soon as I figure out how). I'll contact Iazyges as soon as I'm confindent the article meets up to Milhist standards. Regards, LuciusHistoricus

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Catiline into Second Catilinarian conspiracy. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:02, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa, thanks for the tip(s). I will use attribution when copying in the future. Regards, LuciusHistoricus 04 January 2019

Disambiguation link notification for April 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Eumenes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Antigenes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:04, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I will rectify the problem.

Siege of Megalopolis moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Siege of Megalopolis, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can develope the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 10:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Konrad's Commentary on Sertorius

Hi, you should use Christoph F. Konrad, Plutarch's Sertorius, for articles related to Sertorius. It's the reference work on the subject. Konrad also wrote several articles on Sertorius, including "Some Friends of Sertorius", and "Metellus and the Head of Sertorius". The problem with Matyszak is that he follows the sources without much criticism. T8612 (talk) 23:12, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

'Senior' & 'Junior' Consuls

You listed a senior and a junior consul for the year 107 B.C. for the Roman Republic. Does this imply that one had more votes than the other? I have never heard of this distinction made anywhere before, can you please let me know where it is referred to? Comment by Orange.County.Steve

Indeed. The consul with the most votes would become the senior consul. He would get first pick of consular (and afterwards proconsular) assignments. Source: Lynda Telford, Sulla: A Dictator Reconsidered, 2014. LuciusHistoricus

The proper terms are consuls prior and posterior. You can find the list of consuls with this distinction here. The consul prior was elected first by the Centuriate Assembly. A good reference on the subject: * Lily Ross Taylor and T. Robert S. Broughton, "The Order of the Two Consuls' Names in the Yearly Lists", Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, 19 (1949), pp. 3–14.

I don't think the prior consul had a pick in consular assignments; these were usually decided through sortition. It is still worth mentioning this distinction prior/posterior as it gives us a hint of the electoral results. T8612 (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

• I just took a look at Telford's book, and it's not a reliable source (Pen & Sword Publishing books in general seem to be self-published material). If you want a reliable source on Sulla, here is Keaveney's book. T8612 (talk) 14:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. From now on I will use prior and posterior. And I will never use Telford anymore.

Huh... I wasn't aware of that. Orange.County.Steve (talk) 00:32, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

Please remember to identify the source of the material in your edit when copying within Wikipedia.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. For future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding a link to the source and the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved. It is not too late to add the attribution. See Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia#Repairing_insufficient_attribution which explains how to do so.S Philbrick(Talk) 15:09, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Sicilian Expedition

Please use Kagan's The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition if you want to edit Sicilian Expedition, instead of Matyszak. Tell me if you need the pdf. T8612 (talk) 22:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

I would like the pdf, but could you explain why we limit ourselves to just one modern source? What's wrong with Matyszak? I though wikipedia prefered their articles being supported by more rather than less sources. LuciusHistoricus (talk) 05:56, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Kagan here. Matyszak is not an academic and his work is more vulgarisation than original academic research. I prefer one good source over several bad ones. T8612 (talk) 08:02, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I see. Matyszak isn't an academic indeed. His work is, however, well researched. I wouldn't call his work vulgar or even bad either. I will refrain from using him here in the furture, but I not going to delete my edits. I think they are 'good edits' and add to the article. Any vulgarisms have been filtered out.

Correction to previous election announcement

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

"link already in article"

Hello LuciusHistoricus,

Re this edit: FYI, MOS:DUPLINK was revised just a few months ago. Basically, on the mobile view, sections auto-collapse, and readers don't always read an article top-to-bottom like a novel. Now, duplicate links are explicitly allowed, and it's only repeat links within a section that are discouraged. Especially in articles on obscure old historical subjects, it really doesn't hurt to re-link various names and places, and this is explicitly allowed now. SnowFire (talk) 04:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

@SnowFire Ok. Missed the revision. Will leave them alone in the future. LuciusHistoricus (talk) 17:20, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

It's no problem - I only found out about it after someone told me myself, just recently. (Although I think it is a good change.) Thanks! SnowFire (talk) 06:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

@SnowFire Come to think of it, I can see the merit of doing it this way. Again, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Keep up the good work. LuciusHistoricus (talk) 07:41, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
