Requests from other members

The following pages require attention from a project member:

Old Latium needs significant help with MOS (language) and secondary sourcing. Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 07:43, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Anthology of Planudes needs expansion
Oikos needs references: my work on this has stalled somewhat. Could still do with more referencing on the subsections on women and children. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 10:58, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Classical Philology needs expansion
Plutarch needs expansion: incorporate his Parallel Lives article and Moralia article in a more sensible way. Wrap the wiki mind around Plutarch.
Category:Ancient Roman architecture is overlarge and needs emptied into existing and new subcategories
Centrale Montemartini needs rewritten with up to date news, now that the rebuild of the Capitoline Museums main building is complete. Particularly for Wikipedians in Italy.
Amores needs a lot of attention - (I have adopted Ovid's Amores Ninquelosse (talk) 11:12, 18 October 2014 (UTC))[reply]
Education in Ancient Rome may need additional references
The Roman Kingdom and its seven king articles are unreferenced and require clean-up
Zeus, Poseidon, Minerva, Mercury need to be expanded and improved
Fasti, Section Etymology, is unreferenced and so needs editing (starting from a decent source); see this Talk entry for Lewis & Short citn., which includes detail relevant to etymology and rest of article: [1]
Ancient Greek comedy needs full referencing and some tidying-up
Ancient Greek law needs lots of attention. Particularly, any information about the law outside of Athens would be greatly appreciated.
Eclogues of Calpurnius; Eclogues of Nemesianus, Einsiedeln Eclogues. I just wrote them from scratch - any improvements would be very welcome.CHRM2 (talk) 21:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Flamen needs a good deal of attention - grammar, better sourcing, removal of informal language and a couple of other things. HalfdanRagnarsson (talk) 16:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The articles on Ancient Athens need attention. Classical Athens is not detailed enough, and a lot of its content is duplicated in Fifth-century Athens, and also History of Athens. There are big gaps on Athens during the Mycenaean, Archaic, Hellenistic, and Roman eras. Please discuss how to organise these articles on the Wikiproject's talk page if you want to (re)write them. T8612 (talk) 21:35, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclops (play) needs some significant attention. Please have a look at Talk:Cyclops (play) for an explanation. I'm focused on another article right now, so any help or expertise you have would be appreciated. Imaginestigers (talk) 15:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ancient pagan writers on Christianity: I have recently looked over the articles Tacitus on Jesus and Pliny the Younger on Christians, and I would like to have an outside view on them. The same holds for Josephus on Jesus and Suetonius on Christians, it's just that I haven't looked at them in detail yet. I am concerned that some of the things they say might be (more or less subtle) POV pushing, either pro-Christian or anti-Christian or more likely a wild mixture of these. I presume you who are reading this are more interested in Classical Greece and Rome than in Christian history, and I think this is exactly what these articles need now. Possible tasks include:
- Identify potential POV and fringe opinions, if present;
- Provide your judgment on what the scholarly consensus is (for example regarding authenticity of these passages);
- Add information on other aspects, such as the role of these passages in the work of the respective writers, their religious background (what do they mean by superstitio?),... --Corneille pensive (talk) 15:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
New requested article on A. B. Bosworth, an Australian classicist (d. 2014), who is still one of the most important authors on Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic World. —Brigade Piron (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
