Review section[edit]

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)[reply]

The heavy reliance on primary sources and somewhat outdated secondary sources is a major issue.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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

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

Delist per above. Also, regardless of the sourcing quality the references section also needs cleanup. (t · c) buidhe 17:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delist no significant progress to improve article. Z1720 (talk) 02:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
