Articles needs references and a framework--Work permit (talk) 01:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Background
I've given some quotes from references. The section imho could be better if the quotes are paraphrased by an expert in the field--Work permit (talk) 03:56, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
I threw in a few photos. feel free to remove or substitute.--Work permit (talk) 04:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Rome-Greece
Perhaps it is relevant to mention Rome. Rome conquered Greece but Greece conquered Rome as Horace said. The Romans adopted customs, political and religious beliefs of the Greeks. Also during the reign of the Romans Mediterranean civilisations were strongly influenced by the greco-roman civilisation. As a result men from different cultural backgrounds had Roman or Greek names, like Lucian the writer and Philo of Alexandria . Do you think that this informationis relevant to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.50.72 (talk) 09:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable, yes. Feel free to add the content if you have a source that backs it up. The source will need to be reliable and it will also need to show that that Rome was related to cultural imperialism. Have a look at Wikipedia's policy of verifiability for more details of how things are sourced at Wikipedia. Thanks — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:38, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Edits to the Page
I was wondering what thoughts there may be about a few proposed edits I have to the page. With these edits, I hope to both address the concerns listed by Wikipedia of bringing the page up to quality standards and appropriate citation, and my own concerns consisting of the wording in the introduction and the adequacy of the theory section. I think it may be useful to break up "theory and debate" into sections of "Theoretical Background" expounding on the work of Edward Said and his theoretical framework employing Foucauldian interpretations of power structure and "Contemporary Debate" explaining how the term has been used in recent material. Also, I was wondering if we could bring this into the realm of WikiProject Anthropology as well as Sociology? Let me know what you think. Jkcory (Jkcory) 6:46, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- Those sound like great suggestions. I advise you to be bold and get stuck in! — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 14:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
