Although I totally agree with the page move, I still think "Rigodunum" deserves a mention in the lead as a "given" name to the castrum. I think this will help our readers. --Jza84 |  Talk  20:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was originally very reluctant since there's no evidence to say this is Rigodunum, but on reflection you're probably right; there should be an explanation for people looking for "Rigodunum" why it redirects here. Nev1 (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Nev1 (talk) 22:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great stuff, and a brilliant piece of expansion! There's just no stopping you these days! --Jza84 |  Talk  15:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah well there's no point in hanging around ;-) I was hoping to add more stuff, but I seem to have exhausted most of the published material. I had half an eye on FA if I could find out more on the vicus and early fort but no luck at the moment. Nev1 (talk) 17:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that Castleshaw was Rigodunum is ridiculous. (1) A Vicus and a Polis are not the same thing (2) The numbers do not add up - as Rivet and Smith show in their tables (in a way they perhaps did not even realise themselves) (3) alighting upon this only occurred because Ribchester was shown to have its own name. There are alternative locations for Rigodunum.

I accept that it "has been suggested" - but the whole tone of the rest of it can really only be interpreted as it "has been demonstrated", which it has not.Freuchie (talk) 10:50, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, happy to pass this article for GA, its very good. I only have one comment, which I am sure you can sort out, but it isn't going to hider the GA process. Congratulations.--Jackyd101 (talk) 08:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The article skips between "Mancunium" and "Mamucium". Pick one and stick with it.
  • Quite right, done. Nev1 (talk) 12:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
