Talk:Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire

message: I've begun (though not finished) standardizing the reference style throughout the article in preparation for GAN—at the request of Jen. I have some questions thus far:
* What exactly is Dunn 1982? I assumed it was a book since there is a page number with its citation but it looks visually like a spoken lecture. There is no publisher info either.
** Aza24I have borrowed a computer!! I hope I have now fixed this with a journal reference to the same content. 
* Is there a page number available for Biondi? 
** Nope. It is deletable as there're other refs. What's your opinion?
* Are we sure that the year for Bibliowicz is 2019?
** Well, this is quite maddening! If you click on the title, it says 2022, whereas if you look up the isbn, it says 2019, but if you actually go to google books and look at the book, it says 2016!!!  Arrgh! What should I do? 
** BY THE WAY, your work is amazing! I want to patent you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Dear one, my computer is currently in the shop awaiting diagnosis and repair - or replacement. I may not know for a week. I will try to address these as I am able, but I am feeling very handicapped right now! Will be back soon- and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jenhawk777 (talk) 05:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Happy to help. And no worries, I should be done with the refs by then. Aza24 (talk) 00:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

text: There is another citation for that sentence, with one, so Macdonald's gone. Do you have any insight on Bibliowitz? Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:44, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: It would, I think, be helpful if the lead image was "animated" in 3 stages, pink dots, pink + blue dots, pink + blue + black dots. I think there are people around who can do this if they want to. Somewhere. Otoh, perhaps it would just be distracting. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:42, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: LOL!! That would be entertaining! Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  A thought 

message: I read this article a few years ago when it was still the “Decline of Greco-Roman Polytheism.”
I looked through the talk history, and there may have been some merit in making the topic more neutral. It looks like someone had proposed calling it something like, “Religious Change in the Late Antique Roman Empire.”
However, the focus has not only gone completely in the other direction –focusing on the spread of Christianity rather than the decline of traditional polytheism– but it's also become a meta commentary on the history of how this history of the spread of Christianity has been told.
The original article was an important topic in its own right with a straightforward recounting of historical events from the standpoint of polytheism rather than Christianity.
I would add that this article now covers territory that is very similar to a number of other articles on early Christianity, and no longer covers the original topic with any specificity.
I have no issue with this article remaining as it is, but I believe the original topic deserves being revived in a separate article. Livius Plinius (talk) 18:16, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The article Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire may largely cover the topic you're saying is absent, albeit perhaps in a slightly different fashion. Aza24 (talk) 19:21, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: In that case, it may make more sense for the redirect from “Decline of Greco-Roman Paganism” to point to that article. Livius Plinius (talk) 19:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. I've just changed it as such and it seems the redirect originally went there anyways. Aza24 (talk) 05:42, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decline of Greco-Roman Polytheism 

message: Shouldn't the title of this article be Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire? I think the current title is ungrammatical. I noticed  that in September 2022, the article title was briefly moved from Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire to Christianization of the Roman Empire, before being moved back by Rosguill to the current title. The initial renaming was brought up previously on this talk page by . , did you mean to exclude "the" from the title when you moved the page back? Malerisch (talk) 04:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections, I think this was an oversight on my part. signed, Rosguill talk 14:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: , If there are no objections, could you move it back? I'm unable to because the current redirect page  has more than one edit in its page history, and I'm not a page mover. Malerisch (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
