Self nom - I'm looking to get this to FA status, and I've taken it about as far as I can on my own. Formatting in particular could probably use a little help. Thanks. --RobthTalk 07:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terrific article! Well-written, well-referenced, very interesting even to people who don't know much about ancient Greece (like moi). One tiny quibble: WP standards seem to disapprove of links in headings. Instead, an italicized sub-heading of "Main article: xxxxxx" is used. Otherwise, I'd say this article is ready for FA status right now. Casey Abell 14:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. That's some brilliant prose. I can't see anything that would prevent it from being a FA as is, although I would request that the "Battle of Mantinea" section be expanded. (It seems shorter than other sections, when considering its importance.) – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 16:47, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
