Talk:Maxentius/Comments

Comments on the article for its progression :

Lead doesn't fully reflect the breadth of the article.
There in no reference section to which refer to when in doubt (External links don't count as references, see WP:REF).
As his father became emperor in 285, he was regarded as crown prince who would once follow his father on the throne. He seems not to have served in any important military or administrative position during Diocletian's and his father's reign, though. isn't sourced so it could stand as POV material.
maybe Diocletianus also thought that he was not qualified for the military duties of the imperial office, why?
This set the precedent for Maxentius' accession later in the same year. what was set?
Apparently the conspirators turned to Maximian as well, who had retired to a palace in Lucania, but he declined to resume power for the time being. is too pov for apparently should be founded on someone's assumption.
The prose is good, it could be better but it would stand as a GA had it more references and a better lead. Make sure you seek advice from the peer review project, good article project and the featured article project. Lincher 14:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
