I see that this article cites Eusebius directly, which isn't generally accepted because ancient sources are not WP:RS. Since this is a 2009 promotion, it could certainly stand to get looked at again at Featured article review. buidhe 08:09, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe: I see that Eusebius is still used as a source in the article. Is this on your list to bring to FAR? Are there other editors who are interested in bringing this to FAR? Z1720 (talk) 14:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Z1720, I don't really have a queue of articles to bring to FAR. This article may not be a top priority because other ancient history articles that have gone to FAR have significantly worse sourcing issues. (t · c) buidhe 18:20, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This quote: "As the author Stephen Williams wrote in 1985, "even allowing a margin for invention, what remains is terrible enough. Unlike Gibbon, we live in an age which has experienced similar things, and knows how unsound is that civilized smile of incredulity at such reports. Things can be, have been, every bit as bad as our worst imaginings."
It references to a book by Williams written in 1997, and the quote is not in that book, and I cannot find any reference of any kind to anyone ever saying this. It's a great quote and I'd like to reuse it elsewhere, but I need to know where it comes from.
Can anyone help me please? Where does this quote come from??? Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
According to this blog [1] it's at Stephen Williams, Diocletian and the Roman Recovery (New York: Routledge, 2000), 179 (originally published in 1985). But gbooks wont let me peek at that page. WP:RX? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:13, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gråbergs Gråa Sång What would I do without you? Thank you so much! It did not have the 1997 version as originally printed in 85. That explains everything!. Resource request here I come! Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
