thread_title:  Peer review request 

message: I have rated this article as B class and given it an importance accessment of Top. I justify the Top assesment due to its impact on Roman Theater/Amphitheatre Architecture and architecture in general. --Amadscientist 05:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rating and importance

message: I don't know why that tag was put there in the first place. I have never seen an update by anyone else here in months let alone this supposed college student. If they do eventualy return for an update then they can put it back, but as of 6-17-07, 90% of this page was written by myself. I added the reference tags, (which need proper formating still) and all but one image. --Amadscientist 05:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  No updates by Oberon College student

message: I removed the original image from the article because in researching the theatre I discoverd that the model was incorrect in depicting two covered porticos behind the stage area. A mis conception started by a misinterpretation of the Forma Urbis.--Amadscientist 23:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original article image 

message: I will get to adding the proper citations in the near future! I have found a lot, but I always end up reading and getting absorbed and forgetting to add the reference. Also I just recently figured out the proper formatting for adding references!--Amadscientist 12:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I have forgotten about this article for too long 

message: Added Information box and added the page to another project, copy edit and moved an image.--Amadscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updated page 

message: The page had it listed that it was constructed in 55 BC, but according to The Romans (I added a citation listing the book's information) the construction was started in 61BC after Pompey's triumph when he came back from Asia /Minor. The book only makes a fleeting reference, but it says the construction was from 61-55 BC.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foxhunt king (talk • contribs) 03:04, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I may just change that back. You see the construction time is not in question but it's dedication year, which was 55BC. Note the way other pages date structure dates.--69.62.180.166 (talk) 04:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Construction

message: Article states "Octavian restored parts of the complex in 32 BC, and in AD 21". Octavian is a link to this page:Caesar_Augustus, which states that he died in AD 14.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fab Bulbasaur (talk • contribs) 08:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restoration by Octavian 

message: There is no mention of of the exact size or dimensions of the theatre. No mention of changes made by various Emperors such as Nero or Caligula. No mention of the fires that destroyed much of the site and the number of times costly repairs were done.
The Medieval period of the Orsini family fortress is only touched on but no mention of the Orsini family.
The article has good length and I am satisfied with that but I need more references and much more detail in the Archeology section.
I take blame for all of this. Not many people really contributing so I can't blame anyone else. LOL! But I have decided to start discussions from now on before making any changes to articles....including those I seem to be the only editor on.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article needs major additions 

message: Pompeii was named after Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, but bastardised his name. The Theatre of Pompey uses the name taken exactly from the man's public title which was "Pompey The Great". This is not a mis-spelling.
Don't edit on Wikipedia if you have absolutely NO working knowledge of the subject.--Amadscientist (talk) 02:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article has nothing to do with the city of Pompeii 

message: Needing additional referemces and some copyediting.--Amadscientist (talk) 13:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marked for improvements 

message: I can't remember when, but after a riot caused by by gladiatorial combat, all games at the thearter were banned for seven years. Kaasci (talk) 14:43, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The riot of Pompeii 

message: This article suffers from a surfeit of material that is not specifically relevant to this theatre and should be deleted. For example, the general description of Roman theater; or the history of the curia in Rome. (I see that the page is also on the Classics WikiProject page, but it's been there for a while.) - Eponymous-Archon (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 21:57, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much general material Comment 

message: Currently, there is an embedded description of the assassination of Caesar, within Architecture under Description. This seems to be a really weird place for this description.
Perhaps an entirely separate "Assassination of Caesar" section should be added? Feel free to discuss! LegesRomanorum (talk) 21:42, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Better just mention that the murder occurred here and move all the details to Julius Caesar, I think. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 00:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  MOVING: Assassination of Caesar 

message: I don't see how the overlay map by Amadscientist corresponds to the situation on the ground now. Here's the OpenStreetMap view of the area. Of course, you need to rotate one 90°, but even then, I don't see that the building outlines line up. Can someone show me how they do? - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlay map confusing 

message: I don't want to start an edit war, so I'll explain myself. I changed "dedicated" to "completed" in the first paragraph for the year 55BC of the Origin section because in the following paragraph it states that the theatre was dedicated in 52BC. I made a mistake in not checking which one was correct before I changed it, but one of them can't be correct. Nennahz (talk) 13:22, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
