Just want to say that this has developed into a very good article and very useful. I enjoy reading it! --Camblunt100 (talk) 21:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


Has anyone noticed that the family tree on these pages is a bit wrong. --82.34.129.135 18:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Is there anything we can do to fix it because this has been going on for quite some time now. --77.96.193.236 15:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggest merging Portia (Julius Caesar) into Porcia Catonis

Currently, there are separate pages for the historical Porcia Catonis (the wife of Brutus the assasin of Caesar) and her fictionalized version Portia (in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. This seems contrary to usual practice; ordinarily, this material would go in a "fictional representations" section (or something similar) in the article on the historical person. That's the practice followed with, e.g., Cæsar himself, a considerably larger character both in the play and in history.

I agree seeing as they are basically the same person, we could place it under a seperate title rather then have two seperate pages. --82.34.129.62 16:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I certainly also agree. There's no point in there being two articles. --Camblunt100 11:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opinion

Deleted "However, this story is obviously apocryphal, and several historians believe that it was in fact Porcia who convinced Brutus to murder Caesar." Besides containing a dead citation, I feel several historians out of the hundreds of thousands and possibly millions is not very credible. If anyone finds a credible source citing credible historians, I'll reinstate it. I don't believe Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of opinions, only facts. LikeHolyWater (talk) 23:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
