Talk:Julia Domna/GA2

GA Reassessment[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article hardly covers the facets of Julia's life. It says she was influential during the reign of her son Caracalla. However, we hear nothing about her influence during his reign. 97.86.60.171 (talk) 05:06, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@97.86.60.171: I agree that this article fails criteria 3a. I found some unaddressed information here:

Baharal, D. (1992). The Portraits of Julia Domna from the Years 193-211 A.D. and the Dynastic Propaganda of L. Septimius Severus. Latomus, 51(1), 110-118. Retrieved from http://www.jstor.org/stable/41536198

Benario, H. (1958). Julia Domna: Mater Senatus et Patriae. Phoenix, 12(2), 67-70. doi:10.2307/1086523

I support demoting the article. I suggest that we leave the reassessment open until June 7, 2019. --MrClog (talk) 14:00, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MrClog, I will see if I can use those links to add some more information to the article. But I think criteria 3a, the article 'addresses the main aspects of the topic' is met. Her role was little different than most empress consorts, and she does not appear to have had much influence during the reign of Caracalla. Thus I have removed that sentence from the lede.

@MrClog and Векочел: Is this still sup[posed to be open. AIRcorn (talk) 05:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The reviewer has not edited since September, Aircorn. I suggest someone else review this article. Векочел (talk) 03:14, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I will take it on. I have picked up a few abandoned GA reviews so it might be a little while before I get to this one. AIRcorn (talk) 08:32, 2 December 2019 (UTC) Julia Domna/GA2[reply]

Crap I completely forgot about this one. Sorry, Векочел you still around? This is a reassessment, which I also missed the first time around, so I will have to find something majorly wrong to delist it. AIRcorn (talk) 20:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The Augustan History relates that, after losing his first wife around 186,[10] Septimius Severus heard of a woman in Syria of whom it had been foretold that she would marry a king, and so Severus sought her as his wife. This is a bit awkward.
- She was respected and viewed positively for most of her tenure, as indicators and evidence include the coins minted with her portrait, mentioning her with the titles and also simply as "Julia Augusta". So's this one.
That is all. It is pretty good actually and I didn't feel like anything was missing (not enough to prevent it staying a Good Article. I will attempt to tidy the above sentences (someone can improve them further if they want) and close this. AIRcorn (talk) 20:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay Keeping. Sorry it was open for so long. AIRcorn (talk) 20:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Aircorn, ok no problem. But it is quite a relief to have this finished after so long. Векочел (talk) 00:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
