[edit] Peer review request
This article could use an assesmet rating as well as more ideas and input, especialy in the "Archaeological work" section. --Amadscientist 00:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- This request was made only on this page. I have now used the proper procedure for peer review.--Amadscientist 20:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Remains of Pompley's theater in Largo Argentina? I don't think so...the picture on this page shows one of the Republican temples from much earlier than Pompey...and also, shouldn't this page be titled the Theater of Pompey?--CaesarGJ 06:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Theatre is the British spelling of the word. Ω 20:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Theatre is also the correct American spelling as well. Look it up. Also the comment about the Republican Temples being of an earlier period, these were apart of the Theatre complex called the Sacred Area. Pompey said that his orchestra and stage were merely the forecourt of the five temples surmounting the cavea and that the cavea was the stairway up to the temples. The temples were located directly behind the curia. There is much confusion when resaerching these seperatly however in all models and plans found the Sacred Area was apart of the theatre Complex. Pompey needed this to help get past a law that forbid permanent theatres structures. CaesarGJ, have you researched this enough? Amadscientist
I added some stuff today....but forgot to log in. I also uploaded an image from the same source of the existing picture. Added links to Wikipedia page Roman Theatre (structure).Amadscientist
Then I added more images and edited some stuff for clarity. I am currently doing some back resaerch to cite my sources.Amadscientist
I did however make a change to the information about the temples....noting that they are from an earlier period but still generaly associated with the theatre.Amadscientist
This is a nice article - love the images. Just a few personal comments to be taken with salt. The lead needs some expansion - I wonder whether the 'Overview' section should really be incorporated into the lead. If anything, there are too many images competing for attention. Suggest you think about taking it to WP:ARCHPR Kind regards --Antischmitz 12:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help needed to reference information on this page
I have done a great deal of work on this page myself. I researched and read over several sites but have not had time to go the the Library to find actual books on this subject to add reference that are not internet related. However if i can't get any realtime references I will start adding internet references. Anyone want to help with that?
[edit] This page is now mirrored
Oddly enough, while researching information to add references to this page I discovered that it has been copied several times on many different sites. I also found conversations on forums that quote directly from this page.
[edit] Rating and importance
I have rated this article as B class and given it an importance accessment of Top. I justify the Top assesment due to its impact on Roman Theater/Amphitheatre Architecture and architecture in general. --Amadscientist 05:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No updates by Oberon College student
I don't know why that tag was put there in the first place. I have never seen an update by anyone else here in months let alone this supposed college student. If they do eventualy return for an update then they can put it back, but as of 6-17-07, 90% of this page was written by myself. I added the reference tags, (which need proper formating still) and all but one image. --Amadscientist 05:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Original article image
I removed the original image from the article because in researching the theatre I discoverd that the model was incorrect in depicting two covered porticos behind the stage area. A mis conception started by a misinterpretation of the Forma Urbis.--Amadscientist 23:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I have forgotten about this article for too long
I will get to adding the proper citations in the near future! I have found a lot, but I always end up reading and getting absorbed and forgetting to add the reference. Also I just recently figured out the proper formatting for adding references!--Amadscientist 12:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Updated page
Added Information box and added the page to another project, copy edit and moved an image.--Amadscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
