Deified emperors edit

This is the source: [1] As you can see, not all of the pre-Christian emperors were deified. As for the anomlay of Christian emperors still being deified under a pagan religion, see the article on the subject here: Apotheosis#Roman (see especially paragraphs 4 and 5 of that section).

Illus edit

The reason behing my rating is that the article missed a few references/citations. For the quality of the text, it met and surpassed the criteria asked for B-class and would be close to GA status. If you are willing to include a bit of references, this article can be sent to the GA process soon.

After reading carefully the article, some sentences ought to be inline cited to remove any trace of POVness or original research that could have slipped in. Examples :

Marcian's forces were corrupted by Illus
Basiliscus had fallen into odium and contempt, and themselves discontented with the usurper, were prevailed on by the promises and gifts of Zeno to embrace his side.

After some thought, I have re-rated the article to B-class for it is well-written, broad in coverage, almost all verifiable, contains images with good tags and may lack in citations but I should be too discriminatory in my rating. Good luck with working on the article and if you need more help/assessments please let me know. Lincher 12:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor edit

Hi Blaise,

The text you removed in the map of the Roman Empire in 50 BC is part of an experiment. I am both the creator of the map and of the text. The text in the map is clickable and reverts to Wikipedia articles. Someone made the map smaller, so the text didn't fit anymore. Also, my computer screen is smaller then that of others, which is a major problem. I hope there is software somewhere that can solve this. I hope you want to discuss a change in the future before deleting information. One of the intentions i had in creating this map is to make people enthusiastic about creating an online historical atlas. I want the information back on the map, now it is empty without any texts. Can we come to a solution together?--Daanschr 09:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
