Principes

 * Nominator(s): Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum 

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I am attempting to bring this, and several other manipular unit types up to A class. Iazyges  Consermonor   Opus meum  08:29, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Comments: G'day, I did some copyediting based on some of the points raised in the other reviews. I can't really comment on content, as I don't know anything about the topic, but I have the following general comments: AustralianRupert (talk) 23:50, 8 October 2016 (UTC) ✅ ✅ ✅
 * is there a publisher for the Mommsen work?
 * Lectures on the History of Rome Georg --> is this title correct? Per Worldcat it seems that it should be Lectures on the History of Rome, From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire
 * "wars against Jugurtha in Africa" --> "wars against the Numidian king Jugurtha in Africa"?

Iazyges has nominated four articles on ancient Roman military history, Principes, Triarii, Hastati and Velites. All were taken through GA in 2008 by an editor who ceased editing in 2011. I have looked in detail at Velites. My initial impression was that the content is OK but not the referencing, but when I checked the sources I found that the original editor had misinterpreted them on several important points. Iazyges does not have access to the sources, but has made considerable improvements to Velites in response to my comments, and is looking for reliable sources to bring the article up to A-Class standard. I would therefore suggest that Velites should be kept as a candidate, but it would be better if the other three are withdrawn, as they almost certainly need a complete re-write to get them to the standard to be considered for A-Class.

 * Thanks for the comment, Dudley. Are you happy with withdrawing this as an A-class candidate for the timebeing? If so, I will organize for the review to be archived. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:19, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
