Early modern period VL 2 69 31,300 375,700 C 13,300 104 127 8682 65% 9 38 Ugh, one of those timelines, some outdated sources - 1910 Hazen, 1899 Grosvenor, 1890ish Simpson/Michelet - large unreferenced areas
Reformation VL 3 79 58,000 697,000 C 12,400 127 98 6674 54% 8 31 National Geographic, New International Dictionary of the Christian Church, 1911 EB, BBC, Eyewitness to History, www.reformation.org, Frey 1918, Remesnyder 1893, Guardian, Rogers BiblioBazaar, Pat 1970, Baird 1891, odd websites, JAMES MADISON. The further reading is way too large.
High Middle Ages VL 5 43 19,000 235,000 C 6100 24 254 4197 69% 0 4 A whole pile of sources that aren't on the page, a big "timeline" section, and most of the article is unreferenced.
Ancient Rome VL 3 135 79,000 948,000 C 20,400 275 74 2744 13% 1 8 Too big by at least 5K words - 20,400 words now. Ancient sources all over the place (Livy, Suetonius, Plutarch, Cassius Dio, Josephus, Historia Augusta, ), outdated sources (DURANT???, Smith 1875, 1911 Britanica, Bury 1889, Liddell 1855, Sherman 1917, Tarver 1902, Cary 1967, ), non-academic (or even reliable) publishers (Candle Wick Press??, ), course websites, BBC, Bible Encyclopedias from 1915, Herzog's Protestant Encyclopedia 1858, GIBBON!, self-published (Abbott - BiblioBazaar publisher, etc), Encyclopedia Americana, "Artman, John:"Ancient Rome- Independent Learning Unit", page 26, Good Apple, 1991" (WTF?)
Classical antiquity VL 4 76 40,000 486,000 C 3300 20 165 2340 71% 1 2 Yet another timeline, too much see-also, and it's totally lacking citations... 18 is way way too few for this size article.
Roman Kingdom VL 4 69 30,400 365,200 C 3900 47 83 1906 49% 1 1 Ugh, one of those timelines, much of the references are to primary sources, and the rest is to two works - neither of which are by academic in the topic area.
