Saw this edit this evening and had a look. There are indeed a lot of citations for Lucius Munatius Plancus, mainly because he's mentioned in a lot of different sources. But the tag text says (when you hover over it): "this claim has too many footnotes for reading to be smooth". That's the basic rationale for this tag, but it's probably not the case here, because each entry in the list is on a separate line (though the detailed ones do wrap once or twice). This concern seems less significant when the citations don't interrupt the flow of text in a paragraph.

I considered trying to bundle the citations, either manually or using a bundling template. But which ones would go together? Caesar, Cicero, and Plutarch? Prosopographia Imperii Romani and Magistrates of the Roman Republic? That doesn't seem to make sense. I suppose I could bundle them all into one giant reference, but I'm not sure that would be any more helpful to readers, and it would be inconsistent with the format used elsewhere, which is usually one reference per author (with multiple works of an author already combined into a single reference).

I didn't want to do an exhaustive study of each source or try to prune out what seem to me to be the least important ones, like Velleius Paterculus (since most of the history will be covered in more detail by others) or Horace (cited for a literary appearance). Though if that's the only logical way to do it, then that may be the result. I'd probably make sure they're all cited in Plancus' own article, where they could be separated by relevance to different things; in gens articles, I've always grouped all references at the end of each entry—in part to maximize readability, which of course is the issue here. But before I go to that level of trouble, how important is the number of citations really, when each entry is a separate line to begin with? P Aculeius (talk) 03:05, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
