[edit] Marcellinus (magister militum and patrician)

Hi, excellent work on the article. I'm really very impressed. It looks great, seems to clearly meet the policies I'm familiar with, is nicely referenced, reasonably formatted, etc. As a couple of minor nitpicks: it'd be great if you could try to use edit summaries, they do help a lot, and there are also some minor typo/grammar issues in the article. I fixed the spelling issues I noticed here. I don't understand the last two sentences in the penultimate paragraph (beginning "Either he would not spare"). Also, the last two sentences seem a bit out of place.

The content and references seem excellent, which is the most important part. It'd be great if you could add the dates of publication to the references. It looks like similar articles are available in German, French and Italian. If you add, for example [[de:Marcellinus (Feldherr)]] to the bottom of the article, you'll get a nifty "In other languages" tab linking to the German version on the left. There may also be some categories that could be useful. I'm very much not an expert on history, so I don't personally know of any relevant ones. It may be useful to check how a similar person is categorized. If there are other related articles that should link to this one, that could help readers find it too.

Really though, it looks extremely good and these are all extremely minor issues. Claudius is a featured article, identified by consensus as one of the best articles we have, so it might be helpful as a model. I wouldn't do this yet, but you can also request peer review, or (preferably after that) for a review as a good article. Both of those are always backlogged, so they'll likely take a lot of time. Finally, new comments on talk pages usually go at the bottom. Thanks and again, really nice work. skip (t / c) 08:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, from me too, congratulations, great job for your first article! I've done a technical repair with the page move. When you need a page moved, please in future use the "move" button, don't copy and paste the contents manually to a new title. It's important for the edit history to be preserved in a single place. Thanks! Fut.Perf. ☼ 01:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually, looking at the article again, I think it deserves this:
The Exceptional Newcomer Award
Awarded to Neos Dionysos for creating Marcellinus (magister militum) as his first article on Wikipedia. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

What exactly you want to change in Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum map? Perhaps I can change map by myself if you tell me what should be changed there? PANONIAN (talk) 21:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, then you should upload your map here under different name and when I see it too, we can discuss where to post which of those maps. Ok? PANONIAN (talk) 00:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I saw your new map - I thought that you want to change my map in the article where it originally was posted, but I see that your intention was to draw new map showing Marcellinus control in Dalmatia, so I have no any problem with that. You can use any of my maps to draw new maps like this. :) Of course, if you want to change original versions of my maps, then it would be best to discuss that with me. Keep up good work. :)) PANONIAN (talk) 17:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
