The EB II Help Required Thread

[TancredTheNorman]

Thank you guys, and for sources I have Jstor, and sources that mainly concern themselves with Rome or Greece, i.e. Frier and McGinn A Casebook on Roman Family Law, J.A. Crook Roman Law and Society, David Johnston Roman Law in Context etc etc.

I will start trying to rewrite faction descriptions, and be back with something if I suceed.

While playing EB 1, I noticed a few typos. Since I can't mod, and my historical knowledge is not as extensive as the rest of yours, I offer myself as a proofreader. I know English isn't everyone's first language, and everyone makes mistakes, so I think this is something I can do to help out.

Some question I'd like to ask:
What kind of sources do you have acces to? (university library? Jstor and similar e-databases? ...) Did you study or are studying history, archeology,...? Both aren't requirements, but they do help. :)

Along with JStor, I've got access to my college library, which has a very well-equipped Classics section and the Bodleian Library as well (in short, basically everything that's ever been written in English). My area of study is Classics, with a focus on the historical side of things. Regrettably, I have no experience with Archaeology.

I should warn though that I'm not going to have a whole lot of time on my hands to do research, as I'm going to have quite a lot to do for my classes this term. At best, I could probably serve as a go-between for one of the EB researchers, picking up and copying texts that they need. -M

Hi Mulceber, I'd love to visit the Bodleian. If you'd like to be involved, I think Oudysseos' suggestion is the way to go. Pick out a helpful topic that piques your interest, and do some sort of researched write-up here in the EBII forum. We want to make sure we get historians who 1) can help us with the area where we need the most help, and 2) can provide good help. I'm excited to see what you can do. Do you have ideas of a sort of mini-project you might take on?
