Requests from other members

The following pages require attention from a project member:

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]
Villa della Farnesina (Roman Empire), a major Principate-era villa in Rome excavated in 1879 1. Its extensive plaster wall decorations are preserved on display in the permanent collection of the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne. Not to be confused with the Renaissance Villa Farnesina. —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
