[edit] Ancient Rome Comment
This article is well written and flows nicely; I particularly like how you incorporated the mythical viewpoints of Tanquil's peers while still keeping a scientific tone for most of the article. The last paragraph slightly bends away from this benchmark, but it's nothing a few "she believed" or "it was said"s can't fix.
My only big complaints are mechanical. There's a broken citation in the second paragraph, you may just want to incorporate that into your further reading section. Be sure to link various important words in your article to their corresponding Wikipedia articles (just put double brackets, [[]], in the edit page). Your source section shouldn't link to other Wikipedia articles, but to the actual site of your online sources.
You may want to read up on the other kind of footnote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes), but it's really a matter of preference. You can get rid of the stub tag at the end as well.

I like this article a lot. I think it's pretty well written and structured. It is short, concise, and doesn't waste space in giving adequate information about the subject. I like that the information is supplemented with precise, detailed stories. For example, I like that you don't just say "Tanaquil was known for her gift of prophecy" but you give the story of the eagle flying on top of his head.
Nitpicky, but the second paragraph seems unnecessary. Doesn't seem to relate to Tanaquil at all.

Very well written article, flows nicely. I like the detailed stories of the prophecies.
I agree with tim that the second paragraph seems unconnected with the rest of the article, but you can fix this just by adding an intro sentence like, "Tanaquil's prophecy was eventually realized for Tarquin..." or something like that. Or you could incorporate the second paragraph into the first.
Also, most likely it is too antiquited to be recorded, but could you find any information about when and where she was born/died?
Other than that, maybe add some more internal links and this will be a great article. Erikofferman 04:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Generally well-written; sources could be cited better. 76.16.233.199 02:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Anise K. Strong
