Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Classical Greece and Rome. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
I'm back and finally able to type. Thank you all for your patience. (^'-')^ Covington 01:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Please help with this month's collaboration on the life and works of Plutarch.
If you have suggestions for further collaborations, then please discuss on the Talk Page
We at WikiProject on Classical Greece and Rome will work together to reach the following goals.
Goals
- increase the exposure of Classics articles on Wikipedia
- turn every article in the Ancient Greece stubs, Ancient Rome stubs, Ancient Roman mythology stubs and Ancient Greek mythology stubs categories into fully-fledged articles
- ensure that every Classics article on Wikipedia is well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral, and stable
- support other groups who are seeking to improve the same goals
- Oikos - expansion
- Classical Philology - expansion
- Add Template:Infobox Monarch to every single Byzantine emperor and all empresses in Category:Ancient Roman women (all Roman emperors have been done).
- Plutarch - expansion, incorporate his Parallel Lives article + Moralia article in a more sensible way. There are two articles on Plutarch's Lives at the moment. wrap the wiki mind around Plutarch.
- Assess all articles tagged for this project that have not been assessed for quality or importance.
- Empty the overlarge Category:Ancient Roman architecture into existing and new subcategories.
- Centrale Montemartini - rewrite with up to date news, now that the rebuild of the Capitoline Museums main building is complete. Particularly for Wikipedians in Italy.
- Cicero - Find sources. (This article, I remind you, is of high importance to this project.)
- Amores needs a lot of attention
- Hero could do with a better bit on classical hero cults, and on hero as meaning "son of a god/goddess and a mortal" as a well as just "heroic-man"
- Roman school, unreferenced. Education in Ancient Rome may need additional references too (the end).

Put this on someone's talk page to invite them here!:
- {{WikiProject_Classical_Greece_and_Rome_Invitation}}
It looks like this:
- Use this on Classics Related Pages to direct people here and to help organize the pages. See the template's talk page for instructions on organizational usage
- This is a good template to put at the bottom of any pages which are related to Ancient Greece in any way. For an example see Achilles Tatius.
