From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ave. Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Catullus.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Title

WikiProject on Catullus

[edit] Scope

The purpose of this project is to co-ordinate the efforts of the various editors here who are interested in the Roman poet Catullus. We shall be looking at providing commentaries on, and possibly translations of, Catullus' poetry, as well as creating, maintaining and improving articles relating to the milieu in which Catullus worked: the technical aspects of his poetry, the social context in which he lived, and information on the various people who were eulogised, and satirised, in his verse.

It would be wonderful if the multitude of people floating around with "hic usor latinitate contribuere potest" userboxes would contribute as they are able!

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
