User talk:Ifly6/Senatus consultum ultimum

Request for comment

@Avilich, T8612, and Zwerg Nase: Hello there, I've drafted a rewrite for the current namespace Senatus consultum ultimum. Compared to the current namespace version, I'll highlight a few things:

• Didn't engage in an anachronistic party-politics interpretation (poplares/democrats vs optimates/senators) of Roman politics.
• Cited far new literature (also mostly in English).
• Didn't heavily cite primary sources.
• Defined SCU before going on to discuss its history.
• Large portions of the old history section are un- or poorly sourced; added appropriate modern sources.
• Added a timeline.
• Shortened section titles.

Would like to request comments on it. I'm sure there are some flow issues or typos; I'll do a read-over some time in the coming weeks to take a closer look for them; reading something you just wrote has the problem of making it easy to read what you meant to write rather than what you actually wrote.

Sure, I am looking forward to see what you'll do with the article :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:03, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any recommendations or comments on this current draft? I've read it over once (I'll probably give it a read-over again) and, nem con, I would just copy-paste and replace. Ifly6 (talk) 13:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Impact section literature?

Would appreciate reading recommendations especially as to the Impact section, which is intended to evaluate whether the SCU's impact on the republic's fall. It currently feels a bit sparse. Ifly6 (talk) 10:03, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
