Catiline edit
I'm looking to eventually make this a Featured Article candidate, so I'm open to any suggestions about how to improve the article. The article is fairly comprehensive and includes most everything factual that history records about Catiline. Though, should I add a section about how his contemporaries viewed him? Perhaps, should I go into more detail about the specific events of the conspiracy? Cmcentee 23:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- The article would benefit if it had background and legacy sections: what were the political conditions of Rome leading up to his career and what effect, if any, did his rebellion have on the Roman republic? I see a fairly comprehensive summary of one life and would like to understand its greater meaning in historical context. The article itself is well written, although I noticed a bit more passive voice than seemed necessary. I suggest eliminating redlinks by creating a couple of stub articles as appropriate. Also, I was surprised to see no reference in support of the assertion that Catiline was not involved in the first Catiline conspiracy. This seems like good work so far (although my limited background on the subject restricts my ability to comment). Keep going: I think you'll have an FA in a few months.
