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)

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)

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)
