[edit] Arminius & unsourced claims

Please refrain from repeatedly adding unsourced claims to the Arminius article. Please look over Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy which clearly states:

This page in a nutshell: All Wikipedia articles and other user-facing content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias.

Please look over Wikipedia's source guide, including Wikipedia's Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability policies. Also, you may want to consider making an account instead of contributing through an anonymous IP so these matters can be discussed more easily. :bloodofox: 05:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hannibal Barca article

Your edits are sourced, but they contain some POV issues which aren't supported by your sources. Quisling for example is not an appropriate word for an eventual Roman turncoat, as he wouldn't serve a power tht subdued the Roman people. Both Polybius and Bagnall say in their works that the ones joining Hannibal in Italy were free to govern themselves as they saw approppriate, Capua went even so far and fielded its own army. The introduction of your work about the Roman fear is unsourced. Perhaps you want to quote Livy about the religious unrest and the human sacrifices? For the existence of Roman traitors is no existing source, but we do have sources that Hannibal had excellent intelligence before and during the war. SIGINT played a minor issue, while HUMINT was very important (of course, traders were a major source for humint), but it would be safer to say we have no reports about a Roman traitor (that we don't know of any traitor doesn't mean there existed none, actually we have no Roman traitor mentioned in all these wars of the Roman Republic; Spendius was an escaped slave from Italy) "Rome and Carthage" at Peace mentions a caught Carthaginian spy in Rome who planned an uprise of slaves (I think the ancient source is Livy. Perhaps you have this handy and add more info.).

It would be nice if you signed in, so we can easier communicate. Wandalstouring 13:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
