Well I guess I was a bit unprepared for the attention the article attracted It originated as a section in Roman Empire which is forever being plastered with a nasty looking complaint banner about its length Why a comprehensive article about the Roman Empire wouldn t be one of the longest on Wikipedia is not a question I could answer but my plan as I can is to spin off some of the longer sections into articles such as the one on the languages I make no claim of comprehensiveness for the languages spinoff I just tried to hit the major languages and regions I believe Armenian is mentioned once in the Christian section In general I don t have a good feel for the Danubian provinces and the Balkans so that was about the last thing I added and almost forgot to Meaning I wasn t trying to write a GA or anything and while I ll probably add a bit here and there as I encounter stuff to plug holes I ll be turning to other topics Incidentally I was able to add at least a broad context for the Japanese piece to the article that brought you here so I don t think there s a problem now
