I was about to offer to show you the citations that I didn't want to add them to an uncited section. Should we cite the entire section line by line? It's just a summary of what is in the Book of Kings. Finding the citations for this is very easy and the content is accurately quoted in quotation marks it was completely unneeded add these tags. 22:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Sparta

Hi! I've reverted your edit as I'm not sure that this content belongs to the section you've added it to. Maybe you meant to add it somewhere else? Alaexis¿question? 08:23, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

My misgivings are not about if the section was the correct one but expert scholars contradicting each other "Isonomia is embodied in Sparta's constitution of equals...in a limited form...since among them nomos is despotes" and another source of equivalent value "Isonomia was not applied to the aristocratic regime of Sparta". Another one of the sources Sophist Kings spells it out: "There is a 'foreign' aspect to Spartan culture, an 'otherness' that it shares with ... Persia...and in their slavish obedience to their constitution..." Eunomiäs (talk) 15:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the response. In general, we should assume that the reader of the article is a non-specialist. As you can see the rest of the section is written in a way that does not require special knowledge (like what isonomia is). Maybe it would make more sense to add this to the Spartan Constitution article which is the natural place for a more detailed discussion of the Spartan government.
