Minor factual stuff

[edit ]

Some minor factual issues, mostly on emphasis rather than accuracy (I broadly believe the article to be accurate), below. I think in general the article is a good addition; we needed a modern one on this topic and I'm very happy to see it! Ifly6 (talk) 15:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Pompeius deposed

[edit ]

I think the disagreement as to whether Pompeius Rufus was deposed should be made more equivocal and moved from notes into the body. Ifly6 (talk) 14:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

The sources were mostly of the view that he was deposed. T8612 (talk) 08:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Prosecuting Sulla

[edit ]

Re His goal was perhaps to convict Sulla and therefore strip him of his command, but the move was illegal as a magistrate holding imperium had immunity. Would not any prosecution have disposed of the issue by invoking the precedent from Caepio to abrogate Sulla's imperium? Ifly6 (talk) 15:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Sources didn't say. Someone wrote that Cinna just wanted to boost his popularity, but I couldn't find who. T8612 (talk) 08:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Copyediting

[edit ]

I also hope that the copyediting I've been doing isn't bothersome. In general they're mostly MOS stuff (like placement of quotes and full stops). I know English and French styles differ on a lot of these. (Though I would definitely prefer some French styles such as spaces before semicolons and currency marks after the numbers.)

  • Article nominated five days after creation. More than long enough, meets proper sourcing requirements. Earwig didn't find anything noteworthy, WP:AGF on the bibliography sources. I was able to access the source used in the hook and the passage being referenced (p. 159) seems to be good. Definitely interesting! No QPQ needed, great work on the article! Looks good to go.
