Romulus Augustus[edit]

A lot of work has been done on this article recently, with the hopes of bringing it up to good article status. Looking for comments on the lead and the article as a whole, and any suggestions for improving either. Thanks in advance. --Idols of Mud 18:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no mention of how he founded Rome and killed his brother, launched war on Cleopatra and established the Empire, and never mind. Anyway, the stuff about his name, should probably be removed from the intro and united with the other stuff about his name under "Early life." The intro can be left to briefly summarize the article (WP:LEAD). I also believe I read somewhere that he was named after Romulus and Augustus to increase his appeal- if it's not true, it could probably be mentioned in the article and refuted. Also, from what I understand, individual years and dates are now not linked unless there's good reason, a rule I don't necessarily like but one some people insist on.

Thanks a lot. I made those changes to the piece.--Idols of Mud 17:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I think the article conforms to that now -- though any other suggestions are welcome.--Idols of Mud 17:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
