Merger proposal
[edit]I propose that Graffiti in Ancient Rome be merged into Roman graffiti, or that Roman graffiti be merged into Graffiti in Ancient Rome, since both articles cover the same material. I see no reason why the information should be divided into separate articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.79.45.246 (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Much of this is about dipinti, not graffiti
[edit]Archaeologist and epigraphists clearly and coherently distinguish between graffiti and dipinti. [1],[2]: As Wiktionary defines: A dipinto is “a sketched or painted (as opposed to engraved) inscription.”
Now how to go about this? we could create a parallel article Roman dipinti and move much of the content of this article, such as e.g. the Monty Python scene, there. Or, much easier, we could rename this article, just as the authors of the two books cited earlier did. I suggest the latter. 05:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC) ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 05:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think your former suggestion would be preferable as the article covers both dipinti and graffiti, so renaming it might just lead to the same problem in reverse. Wikociewie (talk) 16:21, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
