Replace the section title 'literary arts' with 'language arts'.
Not done Please explain why you want to make this change. Theroadislong (talk) 12:21, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
Citation Needed
I have edited the document due to it needing a citation of the definition of 'the arts'. Although having many hyperlinks to words in the definition it fails to prove its statement and would require a reader to look at many sources in order to fully conceptualize 'the arts'.

I would like to link 4 items in the 1st paragraph under the HISTORY section:
Last sentence of text reads: "This is evident in, for example, the art of India, Tibet and Japan. Religious Islamic art forbids iconography, and expresses religious ideas through geometry instead."
"India", "Tibet", "Japan", and "Islamic" link to general articles about each, rather than relating to the actual topic (i.e. "Islamic art", "Tibetan art", "Japanese art", and "Islamic art"). Linking directly to those 4 specific subcategories of art forms from this page would be more helpful to the reader, in my opinion.
Source text would thus read:
This is evident in, for example, the art of India, Tibet and Japan. Religious Islamic art forbids iconography, and expresses religious ideas through geometry instead. Johnrobinrt (talk) 22:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

In the "Classifications" section under "HISTORY", the first sentence, where it reads:
"...were taught in universities as part of the Trivium, an introductory curriculum involving grammar, rhetoric, and logic..."
Recommend you append after logic, "(also dialectic)".
Justification:
The word "logic" is hyperlinked to the article on logic. However, in the article on the Trivium (also linked here), the logic originally part of the Trivium is called dialectic. In the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivium, under "Description" section, the division "logic" is introduced with "(also dialectic)", so my suggestion is based on following the same style as that article so the reader can see the link between "logic" as a broad field and the specific topic as it was originally known within the Trivium.

Partly done: I narrowed the Logic Wiki-Link to point to the Logic article's History section on informal reasoning and dialectic. Spintendo 09:21, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
