User talk:Ifly6/Catiline

Sources bad[edit]

Wow, the sources are so bad that Wikipedia warned me about vanity presses when I copied over the original article. Just a note to self. Ifly6 (talk) 15:37, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Coins etc[edit]

@T8612: I am once again asking for your numismatic support lol. Did Catiline mint any coins that might be of any relevance? And if you have any comments on the article, especially on the section on "Cultural depictions", feel free to leave some comments. Ifly6 (talk) 22:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, Catilina didn't mint coins...

I would put the bowl with his name as lede picture; I would always favour contemporary material over modern depictions.

There is no need for a "see also" section as the link is in the text.

The Cultural depictions section has the name spelled Catilina. Pick one consistent spelling throughout the text.

Perhaps mention that Cicero was later convicted for having executed Catilina without trial. T8612 (talk) 14:09, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't taken a look at the Cultural depictions, which predate my rewrite. I'll fix that inconsistency. Concur that we should use contemporary material if possible, but I would rather use no image than a bowl (made by a friend). Ifly6 (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
