Wikiproject Classical Greece and Rome

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Classical Greece and Rome. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

I'm back and finally able to type. Thank you all for your patience. (^'-')^ Covington 01:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Goals

We at WikiProject on Classical Greece and Rome will work together to reach the following goals.

Goals

• increase the exposure of Classics articles on Wikipedia
• turn every article in the Ancient Greece stubs, Ancient Rome stubs, Ancient Roman mythology stubs and Ancient Greek mythology stubs categories into fully-fledged articles
• ensure that every Classics article on Wikipedia is well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral, and stable
• support other groups who are seeking to improve the same goals

Tasks

• Oikos - expansion
• Classical Philology - expansion
• Add Template:Infobox Monarch to every single Byzantine emperor and all empresses in Category:Ancient Roman women (all Roman emperors have been done).

• Plutarch - expansion, incorporate his Parallel Lives article + Moralia article in a more sensible way. There are two articles on Plutarch's Lives at the moment. wrap the wiki mind around Plutarch.
• Assess all articles tagged for this project that have not been assessed for quality or importance.
• Empty the overlarge Category:Ancient Roman architecture into existing and new subcategories.
• Centrale Montemartini - rewrite with up to date news, now that the rebuild of the Capitoline Museums main building is complete. Particularly for Wikipedians in Italy.
• Arverni Guard - source this please someone (I've trawled and trawled De Bello Gallico but can find no reference)
• Cicero - Find sources. (This article, I remind you, is of high importance to this project.)
• Augustus - Expansion, more information on military campaigns (for example galatia conquest), more references on his character and life.
