The article on Algeria has an extensive history section, but Rome has practically been erased.
Algeria - Wikipedia (links right to Classical period) QUOTE(Wikipedia) After Masinissa's death in 148 BC, the Berber kingdoms were divided and reunited several times. Massinissa's line survived until 24 AD, when the remaining Berber territory was annexed to the Roman Empire for 2 centuries. They also say Rome defeated Carthage a bit earlier. I'm no expert on Algerian history but I'm pretty sure it was an important part of the Roman Empire for some 500 or so years. Might want to mention Vandals and Byzantines too. There's probably also some early Christian history of interest there. Some stuff is in the sub-articles, but the main article is really weak on this time period. |

It's amazing that Soviet Encyclopedia takes the reader from the Stone Age to the Byzantines in three paragraphs and does it so much better.
I'm pretty sure Web Fred is just trolling at this point. |

Nope, not trolling. Simply pointing out that the article, as well as the encyclopaedia is a work in progress. It's never finished. Yes parts will be missed out, not because people don't know more than you, but simply because it hasn't been written yet. Don't forget, a possible definition of time is "something that stops everything happening at once". Likewise, if it seems important enough to you to criticise then surely it's important enough to fix? |

It has limitations that will always be there, no matter how many volunteer-hours are invested. If you don't believe this after ten years then you will never believe it. "Work in progress" and "SOFIXIT" are thin excuses. |

"Work in progress" and "SOFIXIT" are thin excuses. Anything can be fixed, even if it means starting again. In any case, in this instance I was just talking about the article. But basically what you are saying is that you just want to whinge as that's far easier than actually fixing the problem, ie just get someone else to do it. |
