Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin/Assessment Department/Latin

The Article Latin is of importance to us because it is the primary reason for this WikiProject.

History of the Article
Latin is actually one of the oldest articles in wikipedia. It was created on 8th of December 2001. It was created by a user called Savana-ona-rolla who has not edited Wikipedia since the day after.

Back then it was a two paragraph stub with no references. Similar articles such as New Latin were created around the same time. The article was given it's first external link by User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick at 12:54, 25 February 2002. By Mid 2002 it wasn't referenced yet but had links to other Wikipedias and had been extended another two paragraphs.

At the beginning of 2003 there were no references in sight but more links and other additional information/

One of the puzzles though is just how much it hasn't developed: The article will be 8 years old this year, it is so important in history and linguistics but is only a B, It is poorly referenced and way too short, it is also not broad enough. Why?
