The title issue: I am honestly of the opinion that because this is a English wiki we should use the most common and well know English name, for almost every subject including this one (name of the province). After all, we have a article called "Roman Empire" instead "Imperium Romanorum", etc. The Latin names should largely be used as titles in the Latin wiki. They should certainly appear inside of the article, no questions there. All the English books I own name this province as "Transalpine Gaul" and therefore I think we should use that name. It is simply simplier for a relative ignorant user to understand that name. Well that is my opinion. I propose a transfer to "Transalpine Gaul". Thanks Flamarande 10:20, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Why did the romans call it Provincia Nostra ("our province") when the romean empire controlled more then one pronvince? I don't think this was there first province outside of Itally.-- Scott3 13:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
How come there is no mention of any history or any human occupation of the province? Stevenmitchell 05:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
The article does not make use of the many good secondary sources on southern Gaul. I'll add some of these to a "Further reading" section. Cynwolfe ( talk) 16:37, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
The Province of Gallia Narbonensis actually ended in 293 DC after the Diocletian's administrative reform. His place was taken by Viennensis Diocesis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.96.190.231 ( talk) 15:54, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
What about Hispania? or Sicily? This article claims that the roman colonization of Gallia Narbonensis started after mid-2nd century B.C. Sicily and Hispania were conquered starting in the first punic war more than 100 years before that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolasete ( talk • contribs) 19:26, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Per this edit, the usage of the page was established as BC/AD. Kindly maintain it consistently, pending a new consensus to the contrary. — LlywelynII 23:46, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
"Further reading" sections are almost always a bad idea, since Wikipedia doesn't keep experts around to curate them. They're particularly pernicious in cases like this where practically nothing in the article is sourced but someone's copy/paste of a bibliography makes it appear that the article is trustworthy. Kindly restore these to the article as they're used to verify statements in the text:
