Declined speedy deletion
I have declined your speedy deletion tag on Category:Treaties of ancient Rome. The reason you gave is not a valid reason and in any event, a change to a longstanding category needs to be discussed. Instead, please take to Categories for discussion. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 19:00, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I have removed your speedy deletion tag from Unbiunium as it was not a valid reason: that criteria is only suitable for pages you have created. Nor should it be deleted for any other reason that I can see; I have restored it to the last good version which is a redirect.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:24, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

WP:ROME
Hi! It so happens I have read the mission statement, long ago when it was first established. It reads "This WikiProject has been formed to foster the improvement of Wikipedia's coverage of all things Roman. From the city's founding to its contemporary history. [...] an emphasis focused on structures, monuments, people and locations of importance to Roman history.", followed by articles, images, and templates pertaining to the city of Rome. You interpretation of it having a broader scope, let alone it including Byzantine history, is nowhere supported (leaving aside the fact that the project is essentially dead). Going around tagging articles without them being in scope is not helpful to anyone. If you want to broaden the project's scope, then you need to establish consensus, not take it upon yourself in a one-man tagging spree. And while I would welcome the establishment of a Roman and or Byzantine WP, frankly there isn't much scope for it either: the purely "Roman" aspect is covered by CGR, and in Byzantine matters it is myself and a handful of other occasional editors who contribute, so that a formal WikiProject is rather redundant.
