Review section[edit]
I am nominating this featured article for review because, as outlined by T8612 on the talk page, there is an overreliance on primary sources within the article, which I agree with. There's also harvref errors. Z1720 (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I concur that review is needed. The featured article criteria say stuff like:
well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature; claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate
. Repeating Polybius and Plutarch is not a "through and representative survey of the relevant literature". Ifly6 (talk) 19:35, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I should add that the maps look imprecise. T8612 (talk) 10:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Largely cited to primary sources, which is not very satisfactory at any level, and will nearly all need replacing if this is to retain its FA status. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:33, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - There's been so little engagement that the last 50 edits go back 10 years as of the writing of this comment. Hog Farm Talk 19:26, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC per above. (t · c) buidhe 20:24, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
FARC section[edit]
- Issues raised in the review section largely concern sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:15, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist no edits to address FAR concerns so far. The sourcing concerns noted by subject-matter expert T8612 remain outstanding. Hog Farm Talk 13:26, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist no edits to address concerns (t · c) buidhe 13:38, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
