Ideas

[edit | edit source]
  • Article Ancient Rome in the Wikiverse: Information about how to find information about ancient Rome at Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, Wikiversity.
  • Article Ancient Rome beyond the Wikiverse: Important web-sites with information about ancient Rome, e.g. the French Daremberg-Saglio.
  • Article Ancient Rome by ToC: List of articles (e.g. Ancient Rome by ToC/Ginzrot 1817) presenting books about ancient Rome available online, providing a table of content (including links to the respective pages) and setting out what kind of information can be found in the sections of the book. Note: The books referenced are not restricted to ones written in English.
  • Article Armchair Explorer: Pompeii: Explanation of how to explore Pompeii using Google Earth (and a set of tasks, questions).


Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary (Post-Launch)

[edit | edit source]

Some ideas:

  • "Featured article" from a pool of the longer articles.
  • "Featured image" from the pool of images used in RICH-2K
  • PATH "RICH places" about the most important places given by Anthony Rich: Pompeji, British Museum, Mus. Pio-Clem., Museo Borbon.
  • PATH "RICH books" about the most often cited books (not including primary texts).
  • Create a list of possible PATHS for RICH-2K.
  • Check possibility of integration of William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (1890).

Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary (Pre-Launch)

[edit | edit source]

This is the project site for the Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, which aims to be a "glossary of all the words representing visible objects connected with the arts, manufactures, and every-day life of the Greeks and Romans." The project Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary is named thus after the book Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon by Anthony Rich (first edition from 1849), the content of which, transcribed by the present user, forms the initial data set (RICH-1849). For brevity sake the project will be referred to as RICH-2K. The official name of the project is Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary. For more about the project (including why the shorter name instead of the complete name of the book) see the Project Description.

This page and section acts as a directory for the project-related pages until the project is up and running. Note: The official launch took place on 16th November 2024.

Unsolved problems:

Solved problems:

  • [SOLVED] User search for article: How can the user find a specific article within RICH-2K? After all, Wikiversity's search field provides a search across the entire Wikiversity. Is there a way to restrict the search to the RICH-2K-namespace (i. e. Level 1 in the project's layout)? See User:CalRis25/RICH: Layout.
    • Solution: Search-input box, which is incorporated in the project's Navbox (see below).
  • [SOLVED] RICH-2K will need quite a few of its own categories. Some of these are content-categories and are stand-ins for the categories in RICH-1849's Classed Index (for a list see RICH: Classed Index). Others will be more of an administrative kind (To-Do).
  • [SOLVED] External links: This project will need many external links. The Recommended Editions (see above) alone probably will have several hundred external links. However, only relatively few web-sites will be involved, and most of these should be trustworthy. Perhaps there is a list of web-sites, for which external links are generally allowed?
    • Solution: External links seem to be working now. According to a user's answer Wikiversity uses a blacklist-model instead of whitelist-one. Plus it is fine to aggregate external links in learning resources.
    • For classical references see w:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Classical_Greece_and_Rome/Guides
  • [SOLVED] The project needs a navigation-template which is displayed at the top of each page (except for the project's main page). See Template:Navbox for more about this.
  • [SOLVED] Is it possible to implement a Random article-function which applies only to the RICH-2K-namespace?
