[edit] Footnotes/Citations

Hello Dan, si vales valeo. It looks as though you are wrestling with some plan concerning the footnotes and citations. The "citations" are of course the footnotes. If they are under "citations", what will go in "footnotes"? I think the system allows for only one autogenerated sequence does it not? Should not this problem be faced at some point?Dave 13:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of the word "decimate."

I would urge contributors to use the word "decimate" more carefully in Roman history. It appears throughout various article all through out wiki. It is being used with its modern definition (i.e. to destroy, obliterate), of course, but the word decimation had a different, specific meaning to the Roman military. It punished inflicted on disloyal Roman Legions where 1 out of every 10 legionaires was executed and the rest banished. Dissento 21:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
