Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because some of the issues raised in March on the talk page - including uncited text and a rather heavy reliance on old/primary sources which may not comply with WP:WIAFA 1c - still exist. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)


 * The heavy reliance on primary sources and somewhat outdated secondary sources is a major issue. It is a broad topic, so maybe improvement should begin from child articles (e.g. Roman–Parthian War of 58–63, Parthian war of Caracalla, etc. also in poor condition) --Z 07:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Trappist_the_monk/HarvErrors shows a lot of the secondary sources are not linked to - so if they are still useful they should perhaps be moved to "further reading" Chidgk1 (talk) 15:12, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC - Agree the sourcing isn't quite up to par, although its better than Thrasybulus or War against Nabis (both recent FAR delistings). Unfortunately, there has no significant engagement yet. Hog Farm Talk 14:38, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

FARC section

 * Issues raised in the review section largely concern sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:37, 4 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Delist per above. Also, regardless of the sourcing quality the references section also needs cleanup. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  17:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
