thread_title: Illadopsis

message: The section of taxonomy and classification is poorly written, and disproportionately long. Generally speaking, encyclopaedias are places to find what we do know rather than what we don't. Thus, if we do know that the group is polyphyletic, that is good information. Nothing is achieved by listing all the many proposals which don't work.

Talk:Logographer (history)

message: "Thucydides applies the name to all who preceded him, including Herodotus (I, 21)."
I believe "History" is the only surviving work from Thucydides, and the word "logographer" does not appear in that book, or at least, not in the English translation I have.
The above quoted sentence in the article does not as I understand it provide a source - "(I, 21)" doesn't mean anything to me.
I have then removed this quote sentence.
