[edit] Third Servile War

Thanks for your addition to the Third Servile War article! The identity of those two commanders has been bothersome to me for awhile. I was wondering if you could add the "Strachan-Davidson commentary on Appian" to the biliography? Not only is it good Wikipedia practice, but I'd like to read it myself :) Does he also identify Cassius? - Vedexent 23:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

With regards to Gaius Cassius Longinus, is this the same Gaius Cassius Longinus of the Liberatores, or a different one? It would explain how he first became aquainted with Marcus Licinius Crassus, if it was. If it is the same Cassius, then his name can be "wikilinked" in the Third Servile War article (and perhaps the Gaius Cassius Longinus expanded to note this idea). If not, perhaps a seperate article might be created, such as you created for Marcus Terentius Varro Lucullus. - Vedexent 17:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

In some cases, where two people of the same name exist (common in Roman History), and one is relativly minor is comparison to the other, they have been "snuck in" on the "main page".

e.g.

Lucius Tiddlypus can refer to one of either two people - the such and such, or the more famous and better known Lucius Tiddlypius who was blah blah blah...

Lucius Tiddlypus (73 BC - 72BC)

blah blah blah

Lucius Tiddlypus (50 BC - 244AD)

such and such

I don't know if anything else can be said of the first Gaius Cassius Longinus other than his governorship of Cisalpine Gaul and his involvement in the Servile War. - Vedexent 21:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prod on Gaius Cassius Longinus 2

Hi. Two things about the use of WP:PROD:

• the warning {{subst:prodwarning|Gaius Cassius Longinus 2}} does not go to the page nominated for deletion, but on the talk page of the author of the article;
• when you have merged page A to page B, just replace the content of page A with "#redirect[[B]]; there is no reason to delete, as someone may look for the article at the old title.
