Review section[edit]
I am nominating this featured article for review because of disorganised references, with some media described in the inline citation and others placed in the bibliography section. There's also works placed in the bibliography that are not used as sources and their quality should be evaluated and considered for inline citation use. The "War with Rome" section has been expanded since its FAC and I think it should be trimmed and summarised. The "Visiting Rome" section has pretty much stayed the same since its FAC, but I also think it can be summarised and trimmed, especially Tiridates and Nero's interaction and the direct quotes. The "Cultural depictions" section is one sentence and uncited. Eponymous-Archon made some improvements after I noticed it in December, but these seemed to have stalled. HistoryofIran commented on the talk page that this article's FA status should be reviewed. Z1720 (talk) 17:43, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - sourcing needs improved in areas. "Nero was reportedly so impressed by this act that he ordered a gladiatorial games be staged in honor of his guest" should have a secondary source rather than Cassius Dio, the large chunk of a paragraph sourced to the 1842 "Penny Cyclopedia" needs a better source, etc. There's some other areas where Cassius Dio or Tacitus should be replaced by secondary sources and while Smith 1867 is considered useful at times, I would recommend using more modern references instead of the cites to him, as where Smith is dated, it's frequently badly sometimes.
