Old talk[edit]

I added a few more names to the Significant Persons list (Alaric I, Aetius, St. Patrick)

"According to the Book of Mormon, Moroni buries the Golden Plates and ends the record around 421.": should these types of non-historical, more religious entries be permitted? I find it a little odd that this is found among these other researched, substantiated historical references - regardless of the "according to the Book of Mormon" qualifier.

  • In the overview section of this article it states "In 476 the last Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustus (nicknamed Augustulus "Little Augustus") is deposed by a Visgothic warlord." In reality the person who deposed Romulus Augustulus was Odoacer, who was not Visigothic or a warlord. He was Ostrogothic, and a Roman foederati. I will make the necassary corrections. --Lucius Sempronius Turpio 00:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had NO IDEA there were elephants in the Americas as late as the 400s. THIS IS WHY WIKIPEDIA IS THE BEST THING EVER! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.8.26.10 (talk) 02:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Eurocentrism[edit]

"the extremely important province of Africa" ? It's an enormous continent that deserves more attention than one sentence about Carthage. And "Africa" was never a "province," so even that language should be adjusted.

Oh boy, this is rich! You should pick up a book every now and then, boy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:818:E928:6C00:BC6F:7FBC:39C1:720D (talk) 02:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
