== [[Gaius Marius]] ready for GA? ==

Hello! I just read [[Gaius Marius]], which I see you've done a lot of work on and nominated for GA in 2019, and I really enjoyed it.  It seems to be of GA quality to me, have you ever thought about renominating it? --[[User:Cerebellum|Cerebellum]] ([[User talk:Cerebellum|talk]]) 19:20, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

:I guess I have, but I'm unfamiliar with the process for making or pushing for GA status. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 20:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

:::Sure, if you're interested in pushing it forward! [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 14:24, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

== Rewrite of Roman dictator ==

Hi.  I avoided this before because I didn't want to get into a major dispute, but someone's complaining about the language and content of this article being biased.  I don't necessarily agree, but the previous version of the article was mostly written by me, a major overhaul from the previous version, and I thought my prose was pretty good and provided a solid discussion of the topic.  I wasn't thrilled to see it all being thrown out and replaced without discussion, but as I said I wasn't in the mood to spend days arguing over it.  I'm sure your sources are more up-to-date, although I don't think they're going to have provided a new and novel view of the topic.  From what the critical writer is complaining about, I'm guessing that your source views Sulla in a positive light and Caesar in a negative one, which is probably the opposite of the view that the scholarship I based the previous article on.  But that can certainly be addressed without simply substituting one view for the other.  Would you be interested in going back to the previous version, then merging your sources' newer/differing views in with it?  Something less than a wholesale rewrite, but providing as much of the scholarship you based your rewrite on as seems tenable?  I hate to ask it of you, but as I said, I did think my version was some of my best work on Wikipedia, and I hate to see it just obliterated.

:Sure! I never intended to step on your toes in such a way, if that's how you saw it. If there are any portions you'd like me to focus on incorporating, please tell. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 19:18, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

: {{hr}}

: As to the question of Sulla. I don't have access to the same version of the OCD you used. <small>I think this is best implied by the indexing: where mine puts Sulla under "Cornelius, Sulla..." yours seems to use "Sulla" alone. There is a similar thing with "Caesar"; my edition puts Caesar under "Iulius, Caesar, C".</small> I'm using the 2012 4th edition. The corresponding article is by Ernst Badian, which notes explicitly that Sulla was not attempting to establish a permanent tyranny. He makes no direct connection between the dictatorship and weakening of the republic, focusing more on the impact that ''marching on Rome'' (twice!) had. (On this topic, I think I agree with this at an intuitive level; attributing importance to an archaic political institution is probably overstating its impact relative to Pompey's memorable – dubiously factual – quote of quoting laws to men with swords.)

: I also re-read the original portions on the late republican dictatorship. There seems to be an equivalency drawn between Caesar and Sulla's dictatorships; there is, I feel, a meaningful difference between Caesar's permanent dictatorship and Sulla's law-giver dictatorship. Scholars believe that the latter was done to re-establish the republic. Cf Flower and my rewrite for Sulla's constitutional reforms. Caesar's, however, was unrepublican in terms that it practically replaced "the republic". I think focusing on that distinction is didactic in contextualising Sulla's republican ambitions to Caesar's military and administrative ones. <small>(Whether Caesar would have turned out to be a good republican who restored ordinary government is speculative at best; Flower just writes "at no point did Caesar even try to restore republican politics, although he apparently paid lip service to it in... the early 40s" and that "he apparently questioned the whole meaning of ''res publica''". Flower, ''Roman Republics'' (2010) p 163. The entry for the big Caesar in the 2012 OCD also says "he had no plans for basic social and constitutional reform".)</small> [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 21:26, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, in deletion discussions you have to write in bold either Delete or Keep, not Support or Oppose, as the latter options don't make it obviously clear what you're supporting or opposing. [[User:Avilich|Avilich]] ([[User talk:Avilich|talk]]) 16:31, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

:Sure. Emended. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 14:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
::I think merging is rarely justified unless the article has existed in its current version for a long time and has good sources. If you're going to write a separate article from scratch then you won't be 'merging' anything, and if the sourcing is poor as you admit and I agree, then this is a further reason for deleting. A 'merge' simply means that the attribution to the original editor gets preserved, but this is unnecessary here since Aculeius, who added the content a mere two days ago, can just copy and paste his own content elsewhere. The article was effectively unsourced before that, so if you want to strictly 'merge', ie. recycle other users' content, you would make your article worse.

Hi, if by any chance you have time on your hands and feel brave enough, there is a need to rewrite this article: [[Battle of the Allia]]. Right now, it's just a paraphrase of Livy. It should also be renamed '''Sack of Rome (387 BC)''', or split (Battle/Sack). Nothing urgent though.

:I can't think of much to add. What is already there covers most what I would have thought of to put in and more. I would reorder the proscriptions to be before the ''lex Valeria'' though. Reading the OCD entry again, it mentions Sulla's campaign in Cilicia but I don't think it is at all well documented so omission is of rather little importance.
:As to "Sulla's march on Rome" (the capitalisation I would take; though I am not sure about the title), we used to have an article at [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Sulla%27s_first_civil_war&oldid=1036824652 Sulla's first civil war] (of minimal value now) but would provide a meaningful page history. That page should be moved to "Sulla's march on Rome" and un-redirected to remake an article.

== Gracchi brothers ==

Coming back to [[Gracchi brothers]] to tweak the phrasing of a date, I found that [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Gracchi_brothers&diff=1107518342&oldid=1103918686 the good edit] which I'd noticed a few days ago, and was going to build on, had been reverted by [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Gracchi_brothers&diff=1107540408&oldid=1107518342 yours], presumably inadvertently. Your edit summary was "incorporate rewrites from https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Gracchi_brothers&oldid=1072288182", which sounds complicated and I'd rather not even think about assessing, but I thought I should flag this up just in case anything didn't actually go as planned. I've done [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Gracchi_brothers&diff=1108505641&oldid=1108486853 the date tweak] anyway. [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 19:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

:Go for it. I want to note however that I am in the process of rewriting the article, so I'll just incorporate that into my [[User:Ifly6/Gracchi brothers|current draft]]. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 20:54, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
::Ah good, I'd made my little edit, I was just worried in case anything else intervening had been inadvertently lost. Will await with interest! [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 21:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

== Re: [[Marcus Atilius Regulus (consul 227 BC)]] ==
In response to your comment on my Talk page, I had a look at this article, & there is one sentence that puzzles me. The last sentence reads: "In notes, Broughton further explains that the textual tradition is unclear: this Atilius may in fact be an Aemilius and others have suggested Serranus as cognomen rather than Rutilius." Was "Rutilius" a typo for Regulus, or is there one or more authorities who believe his cognomen might be Rutilius? -- [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]] ([[User talk:Llywrch|talk]]) 19:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

:Let me check. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 19:48, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
:It's a typo for Regulus. I confirmed at MRR 1.263 that Broughton says {{tq|M. Atilius (Regulus)<sup>3</sup>}} and that he notes alternative cognomen {{tq|Serranus}} as suggested by Willems for note 3 on page 267. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 19:51, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
:I found the issue. Around the time I was writing that, I was also writing a world-building portion for a D&D campaign my friend is DM'ing where one of the NPCs is one Publius Rutilius who is so honest that he's getting framed for corruption.

== Varronian chronology ==

{{ping|Llywrch|T8612}} Hello there. I remembered looking through some of my notes today that you all had been in a discussion sometime previously about creating an article on the Varronian chronology. Did that ever end up going anywhere? [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 10:09, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|Llywrch}} I took a look through the WP:CGR talk archives and saw that you had a draft of such an article in your sandbox. Are you still working on it? [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6#top|talk]]) 11:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

:: Sorry, Ifly6, I meant to respond to your original query over the weekend, but time got away from me. Which turns out to have been a fortunate mistake, because I had forgotten I had written that draft & would have otherwise just pointed you to some general sources based on my memory. (Not surprising, since I wrote this roughly 7 years ago.) But to answer your question directly: no, I am not still working on this draft. I'm actually surprised I got as far as I had, because I as I remember I stopped working on the article because I could not find enough sources to write something I felt was satisfactory. Probably because Roman chronology of this time is a complex subject & the required further research discouraged me from continuing. You're welcome to take what I wrote & use it to create this article.<p>One clarification I'd make to this draft is that the "Forsythe" book I refer to is Gary Forsthe, ''A Critical History of Early Rome: From Prehistory to the First Punic War'' (Berkeley: University of California, 2006). Feel free to ping me to clarify other citations. -- [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]] ([[User talk:Llywrch|talk]]) 15:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
