Byzantine economy invitation

Hi there Graearms, I don't think we've had the pleasure.

Some other editors and I have been working to fix up the Byzantine empire article, an old FA which has deteriorated. Given your exemplary work on the Poverty in ancient Rome article, would you have any interest in taking a look at the Byzantine Empire#Economy section? We're trying to review sections and oftentimes rewrite them when necessary. I'm thinking it could probably cover more ground and be a more cohesive section overall; obviously, we're still very weary of the article being too long. Any interest in this?

I would indeed be interested in working on this article. Graearms (talk) 22:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Glad to hear! Keep us updated on the talk page when you have a moment. Aza24 (talk) 23:39, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Byzantine economy

Hey Graearms

I appreciate your contribution to the Byzantine Empire article. Much more informative! I plan to source check later but some initial feedback:

• see if you can find another 2-3 quality sources. Kaldellis (2023) and Treadgold (1997) have done narrative histories so are two you can consult. The Laiou Cambridge book was something I had my eye on so glad you used this. Maybe you can consult Oxford, like the chapter in The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies by Alan Harvey.
• try to get every sentence cited, at minimum. 2-3 per sentence is actually what @AirshipJungleman29 and I have tried to do with the sections we've worked on. That's harder to do with these specialist sections but the above mentioned sources will get you over the line maybe not for every sentence but most.
• the use of "Byzantine" a little over used. I get around this by referring to it as the "Empire". For neutrality reasons also, I try my best to avoid terms for the inhabitants as "the Byzantines" and you'll see we've done this in the article review to date.
• we're using SFN and SFNM for referencing, could you convert to this? If you need help let me know.
• Otherwise, it reads well. Once I read the sources, I might have additional feedback but what I will be checking is CLOP and also how closely aligned to the source you are.

I look forward to seeing how you deal with rest of this section. If you want to draft this in your user space and want feedback as you go feel free to ping me. Biz (talk) 22:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
