Military campaigns > Diaspora revolt, par. 1, 1st sentence

[edit]

I have made a small stylistic edit in order to add a time reference to the first sentence, so that a reader who turns immediately (as I did just now) to "Diaspora revolt" (fourth subsection of "Military campaigns") does not need to scroll up to find the period of time to which the opening words "Shortly afterward" referred.

Adoptive children (Paulina)

[edit]

Paulina (Hadrian's sister), is attested (within multiple articles) to have been raised by Trajan (along with Hadrian), so should she also be listed under "adoptive children"? If not, why? -- Flyingtyop8 | Talk 21:44, January 28, 2024 (UTC)

She would probably be regarded as a foster child as he did not legaly adopt her.★Trekker (talk) 01:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Greek Elites

[edit]

A substantial percentage of this article focuses on the place of Greek notables in the Roman Empire. While this material is interesting, the length and focus serve to distract from Trajan himself. I suggest summarizing this material here and either adding it to a more relevant article or creating an entirely new article. RobotBoy66 (talk) 02:24, 6 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

You have a point. Is there any article that would be fit to move it to? If not what would a new article be named?★Trekker (talk) 22:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

There are lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs, as well as citations with missing page numbers. Min968 (talk) 10:04, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

The page statistics are way out of date. The article is much longer, based on the number of bytes now, than is shown on the statistics page. So it also needs some pruning. This one is likely to be a long chore. I may well be able to work on it some time in June but among other things I have planned to work on Washington Crossing the Delaware and Nerva first. As I just noted on the Nerva GAR page, I saved Flavian dynasty's GA and have sources on the Roman empire. But I can not promise to get to it soon in view of military history coordinator responsibilities and being offline for about a week in early June. If no one else gets to it and I can't get started on it by mid to late June, I would support delisting in its current condition despite my opinion that Trajan was an important emperor and should have a good article biography on Wikipedia.
