What is it about?
editIs this about the artillery equipment (guns, cannons, etc.) or the artillery men/corps? If the former, why not describe the equipment in some (or any) detail? Badagnani (talk) 23:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- I see, it's being added now. What are the sources? Badagnani (talk) 00:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)the chinese eat dogs
More work needed
editI did a drive-by editing on some of the wording, grammar Nazi that I am. The article still needs reorganization.
IMO, there needs to be more work on references. Some authorities are named, but none of their works are identified. Is all of this from one source?
Btw, is the comment on who eats what supposed to be cute? It isn't.
"Did You Know" What?
editI just read the yellow box above, after I finished my previous post.
As I understand the study of history, it is about causes and effects, not the amassing of factoids, so I meet all instances of trivialization with distaste. I'm studying history to understand human beings, not to win money on Jeopardy.
That being said, this is a particularly egregious example, because the article states that the "knowledge" selected for spotlighting is actually controversial. 'Did You Know?' Did I know? Hell, does anybody know?
