[edit] Massive cleanup needed

This article is a mess. For example, the building now standing is the Curia Julia, not the Curia Hostilia; this article confusingly sometimes conflates the two. Much better information can be found in Platner's "A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome" [1] or of course in Claridge's excellent "Rome" in the Oxford Archaeological Guides series (ISBN 0192880039) which however deals only with the Curia Julia. I see the recent Oberlin tag, so I'll hold off on working on this. Whogue 03:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Please don't hold off. It isn't meant to be {{editing}}, merely letting people know that it was being looked at. The Oberlin project made it in to the New York Times[2], but that doesn't mean that it should take precedence over other people's work. Please continue editing the page. This is a collaborative project after all. BTW, Claridge is one of our course texts and Platner is one of our suggested sources for the off-wiki portion of our project.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 15:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
