Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of [[Maximian|this article]] know that it will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|the main page featured article]] on July 25, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 25, 2011]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors {{user|Raul654}} or his delegate {{user|Dabomb87}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions|the suggested formatting]]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the [[Main Page]] so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

'''[[Maximian]]''' (c. 250 – c. 310) was [[Roman Emperor]] from 285 to 305. He was ''[[Caesar (title)|Caesar]]'' from 285 to 286, then ''[[Augustus (title)|Augustus]]'' from 286 to 305. He shared the latter title with his co-emperor and superior, [[Diocletian]], whose political brain complemented Maximian's military brawn. Maximian established his residence at [[Trier]] but spent most of his time on campaign. From 285 to 288, he fought against [[Germanic tribes]] along the [[Rhine]] frontier. After [[Carausius]]'s rebellion in Northern Gaul was put down in 296, Maximian moved south to combat piracy near [[Hispania]] and [[Berber people|Berber]] incursions in [[Mauretania]]. When these campaigns concluded, he returned to Rome in 299 to receive a [[Roman triumph|triumph]]. After several years of leisure, he retired as Augustus at Diocletian's request in 305. However, he took up the title once again the following year, joining his son [[Maxentius]] in rebellion. After a failed leadership challenge in 307, Maximian fled to the court of [[Constantine I|Constantine]] in Trier. At the Council of [[Carnuntum]] in November 308, Diocletian forced Maximian to once again renounce his imperial claim. In early 310, Maximian attempted to seize Constantine's title while the emperor was on campaign on the Rhine. Few supported him, and he was captured by Constantine. He committed suicide later that year on Constantine's orders. ('''[[Maximian|more...]]''') |

== The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles - Issues == |

Hi there. You're the largest contributor to the article [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles]] that is still active on Wikipedia. Recently, and IP mentioned that there was an upcoming FAC for the article when he put it up for copyediting. I took a look at the article, and... well what I saw was an article with a gaping hole. Please view my comment at the bottom of the talk page. I'm going to give that a chance to be fixed, but I'm quite tempted to take it to GAR for failing criteria 3a (major aspects covered). |
|||
I'm also notifying Nergaal (inactive) and MuZemike (the GA reviewer). |

Thank you for your time. [[User:Sven Manguard|<font color="207004"><big>'''S</big>ven <big>M</big>anguard'''</font>]] [[User talk:Sven Manguard|<small><font color="F0A804">'''Wha?'''</font></small>]] 08:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC) |
