- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Wandalstouring 21:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Portal!
Dear Eoghan Ó Coisdealbhaidh,
I recently began the building of a new portal, The Roman Empire Portal. It is nearing completion, but there is still a lot left to be done. I would greatly appreciate your help in the developing of the portal. Please feel free to leave any questions on my talk page.
Thanks, --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 20:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holy Roman Empire
In 1806 the Roman Empire was on maps, making it the offical date Rome was taken off maps, and ceased to be a political entity. This is all regardless if you dont consider the Holy Roman Empire to be the true heir of the Western Empire!
Do people think the Barbarians just killed all the Romans after 476? The answer is no of course, most of the Germans that took power were already Romanized. The first two German rulers after the fall, Odoacer, and Theodoric the Great even answered to the Byzantine emperor. Roman tradition, and culture didnt just go extinct, as we know because our own society, and cultures in the western world are heavily influenced by Rome.
The people still considered themselves Romans after the fall of Rome, and told there children, and grand-children they were Romans too, this went on for generations, but also while mixing with the Germans too (if you want, check out Romano-Germanic). The Roman populace was never wiped out, and it is debateable that Roman civilian loses were minimal. 300 plus years later there was still a Roman essence among the people.
When things had settled down after all the Choas, and Charlemange was able to unify most of Western Europe again, it was right to revive the empire in the west, he was crowned King of the Romans, and took the title Imperator Augustus. The Byzantine Empress Irene must have reconized Charlemange's Empire as the true Western heir, or she would never have agreed to marry her son to his daughter.
There are many recorded Byzantine and Holy Roman Royal marriages, which further prove that the Byzantines reconized the Roman state in the west. One good example is when in 972, when the Byzantine emperor John I Tzimisces publicly recognized Otto's imperial title and agreed to a marriage between Otto's son and heir Otto II and his niece Theophano.
Saying that the Holy Roman Empire didnt have any real claim to be the the Western Roman Empire is ludacris. But thats not even the debate here! the debate is the offical end of the empire, and that date is 1806 when the last Roman Emperor, Francis II, was abdicated by Napoleon, and Rome, as an Empire was taken off of maps after being on them for millennia.
The history of Rome spans thousands of years of the existence of a city that grew from a small Italian village in the 9th century BC into the center of a vast civilization that dominated the Mediterranean region for centuries, to a Romano-German empire marking the beginning of the Middle Ages!--Lucius Sempronius Turpio 08:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] british isles ballicks fairplay
I read your debate with that fruit flamengo, or whatever the fuck his name was, that has decided to insult the people of Ireland by associating us with Britain as if we were one. I was quite disgusted, as i could see you were also, and I thoroughly belive that was a well conquered debate, BUT the war is not over, that ballbag is up to his old tricks and he has a pal who is also belittling our nation. I have been successful in thwarting their acts so far but would like to call on a fellow Irishman who feels the same on this issue to defeat these saxon wannabes. Check the history on the western europe page to find the culprits, they have also been doing it in northern europe and the subregion page section europe.
Let the fight go on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saoirsegodeohf (talk • contribs) 14:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
