# Talk:Sîn-šumu-līšir

Not really sure about the policy but it says there is little known of the king. Should this be in here or should it be included that little is know in comparison to other kings but this is what we know...? Coralshin (talk) 21:12, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Late answer, but anyway. I think the point of that statement is to give the reason why little is known: his reign is period of chaos and disintegration. When people fight wars, civil wars, war with rebellious provinces, this tends to reduce such activities as putting stylus in a piece of clay to write history.  This is an important point to make, because otherwise readers think Wikipedia is so incomplete. Jcwf (talk) 03:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
