Ways to improve Political commentary of the Aeneid
editHi, I'm Will2022. Ismxt9, thanks for creating Political commentary of the Aeneid!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add references.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Will2022 (talk 15:26, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Comments on article
edit- The whole article should have a big CITATION NEEDED stamp on it. :)
- The term "propaganda" is tricky. Maybe change to something like "positive images of Augustus' rule", to contrast with "warning against..."?
- add wiki links throughout.
- Please take account of the "multiple issues" with which your article has been tagged.

More Comments
edit- You are stating things that scholars such as Dominik say as though they're fact, rather than scholarly interpretation/opinion. Even in an essay, this wouldn't necessarily be appropriate, but on Wikipedia, it's certainly not: you could say, e.g., "According to one scholar, Vergil wished to express his concerns for the geopolitics of Rome" and then cite Dominik's article.
- Likewise, you can't just cite the scholar at the end of the entire paragraph -- any individual statement needs to have the citation (and potentially to a specific page, rather than just the whole article, depending on the particular statement).
- When you link to an article on Jstor, Project Muse, etc., you need to remove the Mizzou proxy from the URL, or it won't link right. So get rid of the ".proxy.mul.missouri.edu".
