[edit]Wow. You obviously know what you are doing with wikipedia. You have a great deal of information and it is all organized very well. I can honestly not think of anything content-wise that needs changing because you seem to have spent a good while researching your topic. If I could say that anything needed to be added, it would be nice if there was a kind of picture, however, I guess it would be kind of hard to find a picture of this specific woman. If you haven't tried though, you should because that would just be the icing on this wonderful wikipedia cake. Even without a picture I think this is great work. Good job! (I'll read it again to see if I missed anything... if you do not see anymore entries from me, that means I fully endorse what I have already wrote!) -Lauren-A.B.
This looks really good, I hardly have anything to say about it. You have really good details, but still manage to tell the stories well without sounding biased. I agree with Lauren, adding a picture, of Marcia or even Commodus if you can find one, would be about the only addition I can think of. You might also want to look at the notes for the references, a couple of sources are listed twice as separate sources instead of just having the number referenced again. But again, that's really nitpicking, the content doesn't really seem to need any work. -Samantha
I completely agree with the comments above. The article is very well done. The only thing that caught my attention was how there was only a single sentence under the "Life after Commodus" tab. My suggestion would be to try and include this under another category. Other than this I see nothing wrong with the article. The word usage, grammar, and content are very well done and I also really like how u were able to include a "Notes" and "Resources" tab. You truly are a model wikipedian!!! ~James
This is an excellent wikipedia article; since I am currently writing a scholarly article on Marcia myself, I am particularly impressed with your range of sources and material. Including more information about Marcia's treatment of Christians, and perhaps a mention of the dubious source material of the Historia Augusta, might have improved your piece, but you did a very good job in general. Perhaps a little too much material was taken directly from Salisbury's book.
