Artist's rendering of a Wikipedia talk page: which one are you?

"Wikipedians are 80 percent male, more than 65 percent single, more than 85 percent without children, and around 70 percent of them are under the age of 30." [1] I'm still not any of these things. I'm also glad to know that I'm not always as rabid as I sometimes seem.

Articles created

Or substantially revised.

My particular interests in writing articles are the late Roman Republic; Gaul from the 2nd century B.C. to the 5th century A.D.; Greek, Roman, and Celtic religion and myth; Hellenistic magic, including its continuation in western and northern Europe; ancient medicine; funerary practices of the Greeks, Romans, and Celts; Epicureanism; and interactions of the traditional religions of Greece, Rome, and Celtica with early Christianity. I have side interests in history of scholarship, English and French literature of any period, art history, 19th-century Belgium, and the U.S. in the 19th century. I'm an active member of both WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome and WikiProject Women's History.

Sample articles: Womb veil; Pluto (mythology); Roman Republican governors of Gaul; Gileppe Dam; Marcus Marius Gratidianus; and my usual kind of minor topic, Poems by Julius Caesar

Articles I didn't create, but at present am working most actively on: Sexuality in ancient Rome, Women in ancient Rome

DYKs

The following articles (in no particular order) were featured in "Did You Know … ?":

Quintus Valerius Soranus; Cambrai Homily; Walter Horn; Marcus Baebius Tamphilus; L'Année philologique; Lucius Marcius Censorinus (consul 39 BC) jointly with Gaius Calvisius Sabinus (consul 39 BC); Aetites in company with Gello; Carmen Priami; Fordicidia; Mutunus Tutunus; Papias the Lombard; Gaius Iunius Bubulcus Brutus; Dusios; womb veil; Virginie Bovie; Gileppe Dam; muscle cuirass; Lympha; T.P. Wiseman

Ancient Roman politics and government

  • Roman Republican governors of Gaul (aka I wish I had never wrestled with this bear), and the related Prorogatio, or the extension of provincial commands
  • Rogatio, the placing of a bill before the people's assembly
  • introductory section to Ambitus
  • Lex curiata de imperio
  • Scriba (ancient Rome), on the government bureaucracy that kept Rome going when the so-called elite were indulging in … all that stuff we usually associate with ancient Rome.
  • It occurs to me that through incremental changes I've almost completely replaced the content of some articles such as Nobiles and Populares, but don't list them because I don't regard them as thorough or well thought-out. So I suppose I consider articles I do list as "endorsements"; if you find them inadequate or poorly done, you may take me to task — and please do. I welcome correction of errors, and discussion of broader issues, on the talk pages of the articles (all of which I watch), or on my own talk page, where wit and trivia are also welcome.

People in antiquity

Roman Republic

Early Republic
  • Gaius Iunius Bubulcus Brutus, who vowed the temple of Salus; an interesting figure slighted by the historical record's vagaries of survival (DYK)
Middle Republic
Late Republic

Gaul

Greeks

Ancient religion and culture

Deities and such

  • Novensiles, with many contributions from Aldrasto11
  • Unclean spirit, or pneuma akatharton
  • Abyzou, female demon of the abyss
  • Gello, female reproductive demon
  • Šulak, the "demon of the privy"
  • Mutunus Tutunus, a priapic god of ancient Rome (DYK)
  • Inuus, revision of stubbish little article
  • Di Penates, ditto, but nothing earthshattering, as this would require far more work
  • Dusios, a Gallic deity similar to Inuus, demonized by the Church (DYK)
  • Erulus, a previously existing little article on a character in the Aeneid about whom much broader and unsubstantiated claims had been made (though I suspect these intuitions were correct)
  • Geniscus, a shadowy deity, perhaps a form of Genius
  • Vagitanus, the childbirth deity who opened the newborn's mouth for that first necessary cry (Latin vagitus)
  • Di nixi, birth deities (from a preexisting stub)
  • Nortia, Etruscan goddess of destiny (replaced content)
  • Alphito, a little article only necessitated by Robert Graves' imagination
  • Lympha, usually conflated with the Greek "nymph"
  • Replaced most or all of the content for some articles such as Caelus, Fons, Pluto (mythology), Mars (mythology) (except for the list of provincial epithets) and others I've lost track of

Objects and practices

Texts

Concepts

Priestly offices

Topography

Ireland

Humanism, philology, and scholarship

Most of these are not complete, but are more than stubs and contain all the information I could find.

Scholars to 1800

Scholars of the 19th–21st centuries

Related subjects

Art History

19th-century Belgian art and culture

  • Gileppe Dam (DYK), the location of Bouré's most colossal lion (with the peripheral J. Augustine DeSazilly, a French engineer whose theoretical work influenced the dam's construction)

Literature

The U.S. in the 19th century

To look at

Articles I'd like to work toward developing to GA: womb veil; Roman mythology; Women in Ancient Rome; Mars (mythology); Pluto (mythology); Sexuality in ancient Rome; Roman temple; Roman funerals and burial; and the future Contraception and abortion in classical antiquity

Ongoing list of articles I want to do some work on.

Articles that need to be written, preferably by somebody else:
