Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 24 September 2020 and 11 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Keshet101.

Spam[edit]

"...She died on June 10, 38, reportedly from loss of blood during anal sex...."

What is the source of this information?

-- I agree with the above question.

There is no source for the above quote in the ancient histories. Spurious entry has been deleted.

"In an account given by Suetonius, Drusilla became pregnant with Caligula's child, and in a panic he disembowelled her, believing that the child of their union was divine and so represented a threat to his throne."

There is no such account in Suetonius. Someone is taking I, Claudius a little too seriously.

Link to Artist/song[edit]

I read this article seeking some insight into a song lyric. The line appears in the song "We're so Heavy" by artist Matthew Good, on his latest album "White Light Rock and Roll Review". The line reads: "How can you love Jove, Drusilla, and forsake Rome?" If anyone could give me some indication of the relationship between Drusilla and Jove (Jupiter), and how she historically did/could have 'forsaken' Rome, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

"Diva"[edit]

The link to "Diva" directs to the base page for "Diva" (aka female singer) and even after checking the disambiguation page, there's no proper entry for Diva (divinity) at all. The best I can come up with in existance at the moment might be the Goddess page or the disambiguation for Ascension.

I'm not sure I can find any wikipedia entries for "generic" ascension at all (i.e. a general entry for endowment with godhood) and am tempted to start an article...

Drusilla (sister of Caligula) → Julia Drusilla – At present "Julia Drusilla" redirects to the daughter of Caligula. I suggest that his sister is the more important figure, she did reach adulthood whereas the daughter was killed aged 4. She also has the longer article, and is known to many people from the controversial fictional baby-eating scene in the TV version of "I, Claudius".

Support. While the age of an individual does nor determine his/her historical significance, the senior Drusilla tends to appear in most treatments of Caligula's life. Her niece was simply named after her. Dimadick (talk) 12:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment how about a disambiguation page? 184.144.163.181 (talk) 03:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As a general rule, disambiguation pages with only two entries are better avoided, the margin of notability does not need to be very great to decide that one is the primary meaning. If we decided that the sister is primary, the daughter should be linked by a hatnote. PatGallacher (talk) 20:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support The sister gets more coverage in historical accounts. Britannica mentions only the sister. They are both equally Julia Drusilla (or Drusilla). So the current nomenclature makes a distinction where none properly exists. Kauffner (talk) 11:42, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
