Pope Callixtus I, former slave of a slave of a slave

... that in some human societies there were slaves who owned slaves (example pictured)?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Per DYK rules, you need at minimum one citation at the end of each paragraph that covers all content preceding it. You also need a source for all statements introduced in captions (not cited elsewhere in the article) that go beyond identification of the image's subject. I've added some cn tags where a citation is missing, or axed transition sentences that Wikipedia tends not to use, but I may have missed some.
Neutral: - I'd like to see the talk page complaint resolved
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Interesting article. Please consider WP:GAN! (t · c) buidhe 00:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ttocserp: Please address the above concerns. Z1720 (talk) 23:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my laptop was off being repaired. I would gladly adress the concerns, but someone has put on a template saying it reads like a personal essay. (Why is not explained; I got everything from the sources.). What should I do?Ttocserp 21:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If Callixtus I was a slave owned by a slave owned by a slave, he wouldn't be an example of a slave who owned a slave, would he? Or at least not necessarily. Bremps... 06:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Callixtus is an instance of a sub-sub-slave not a slaveowner himself. But it is true the caption needs to be amended.Ttocserp 09:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ttocserp: Please address the above. For what it's worth, I agree that this reads like a personal essay and I would suggest taking it to WP:GOCE if you can't see the problem.--Laun chba ller 09:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will close this in 24 hours if the issues aren't addressed @Ttocserp:.--Laun chba ller 12:21, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS and other issues

There are some MOS issues in the article, especially pertaining to encyclopedic tone. At times it reads like a term paper, and at times argumentatively or not neutrally. The way in which this article had been incorporated into Slavery in ancient Rome (tacked onto the end a section that already discussed this) may suggest that it would be worthwhile to read that article and perhaps modify some language and usage of terminology. Much of the section on Rome seems not about slaves "owning" other slaves under Roman law, or what it meant sociologically or in terms of the labor force, but wanders into other areas of slavery in Rome. Slave traders seem often to have been liberti, former slaves, which would be pertinent to the topic. Cynwolfe (talk) 15:50, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, why did you allege that this article was nominated for B by a major contributor? Are you still standing by that allegation? Ttocserp 15:57, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, get a grip on your emotions. I was in error in glancing at the edit history incorrectly and made a hasty assumption, for which I apologize. But I don't think the article is structurally sound yet in accordance with other B-class articles nor written at that level of fluency. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for my misunderstanding in my edit summary, but these are some of my responses as to why I don't think this article has quite reached B status. Cynwolfe (talk) 15:58, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your apology; I thought the allegation showed animus. I shall leave this to cool down for a bit before returning. Ttocserp 16:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
