M. Porcius Cato Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I don't know if this is the right place for humble requests, but I'd like to see three new features added to the main site. The first feature is a geneaology for at least some of the major families during the late republic and principate. We're getting a fair number of visitors thanks to the HBO/BBC Rome series, and I'd bet that a geneaology might help fill in some of the missing pieces for them. The second is a more complete list of magistrates from the Republic. Last I checked, the list was more of a placeholder than a full list. Third, it would be nice if we had portraits of the major figures who are covered. I'd be happy to help out as far as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia C Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 whose powers were of a managerial nature and less an issue of executive control. It still bothers me a little, the coordinating conjunction 'and' suggests parallel construction. Yet to say their their powers were less of an issue seems a little non-sequitur. How about: whose powers were of a managerial nature rather [or 'moreso'] than executive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I found the most minor of errors but... what the heck it's an error. It was a double-edged weapon about 18 long and two inches wide Back in the weapons page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[EDIT] I've removed those posts (including my own) that were not directly related to correcting errors (spelling, grammar, or points of factual contention) in the static history pages of the site.

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Lol. I'm sorry Primus, but I find the smallest of things.... Navy Page: ...but the Roman ships were fitted with a corvus accommodate their strengths in land combat. Insert a "to" between corvus and accomodate. Cheers.

Primus Pilus Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Most of the entry type pages were put together by Viggen who is writing English as his second and perhaps third language.

I know that you will find this hard to believe, but even I muck things up on occasion.

Gaius Octavius Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) No one challenged "Therefor"? "wasn't"? Two 'hads' in a row? Anyone for three? __________________________ In a serious vein, I am sure that Viggen's mis-steps are more the result of banging away at the keyboard than a lack of knowledge. I don't think that any author gets it right the first time around nor the fourth; that is why editors make a living. I believe that when an author reads his work, he sees what is in his mind and not what is on the page. (Take a peek at some of the critiques above.) Having had a German partner and a German girl friend, it was my privledge to learn English from them. (There is a bummer in this sentence.) Then, of course, there are the contributions of native English speakers hereabouts; yours truly, at the head of the list.
