List of Rome episodes

Nominating it. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 22:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
  • Image is lacking a caption and a fair use rationale for inclusion in this article.
  • Lead is weak and lacks reference.
  • Don't link individual years.
  • When did season 2 air?

• Comments
  • Aside from what The Rambling Man mentioned, there are no references to verify the list of episodes of each season, not even a general ref.
  • There are no references to the plot either.

Strong oppose The prose is quite woeful. Find somebody to copy-edit the article for you please. The following sentence is one of the longest I've ever come across, please chop it down:

At the opening, Caesar, at the head of his still advancing army, is sending Vorenus and Pullo, along with the Ubian cavalry for re-enforcement, ahead to Rome on a scouting mission for Pompey's defenses with the strict mandate to advance only until resistance is met and, if civilians are met along the way, they are to give Caesar's proclamation to them and to instruct them to return to Rome and have it read in the forum.

The summaries seem to be of uneven length; since all the episodes were of the same length, so should the plot summaries. Further the summaries themselves don't seem to be complete (for example the last episode summary doesn't reveal Antony and Cleopatra's suicide). Per Wikipedia:Plot summaries we shouldn't be concerned about revealing spoilers.

Since you've deemed it necessary to nominate three (mostly unready) lists at once, I suggest you withdraw this nomination to conserve FLC resources. indopug (talk) 15:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - fair point indopug. Be Black Hole Sun, have a look at another FLC which is taking place now for some ideas - Lost (season 4). I haven't fully reviewed it but it's the sort of quality we're looking for. Feel free to bring this back once you've reworked it, taken it through peer review and are sure it meets the criteria.
