This should be a subpage of Cagilan Empire -- perhaps Cagilan Empire/Ancient History? --John 18 September 2005 04:48 (CEST)

Herodotus' Typos
Personally I prefer Herodotus' writing with typos so as to accurately preserve his manuscript. This writing is from the previous wiki page if I remember correctly and when Sephirah was apart of CE, considered it an ancient manuscript that should be preserved exactly as is. Could someone restore the previous revision? --Bishamon Family 01:02, 18 June 2008 (CEST)(didn't sign it previously so time is off but now we have my name...)
- There might be a way to revert to the original version using some sort of wiki version control system. I just did the brute force method of cutting and pasting. Sorry about not preserving his original manuscript. It was not my intent to alter ancient manuscripts. I understand. Much less editing in the future for Tinsley. --Tinsley 22:26, 17 June 2008 (CEST)
- An editor can do a formal revert. For the rest of us proles, you can use the History tab to view an old revision, then hit the Edit button and save it. You'll get a warning about it deleting newer edits, which you can ignore, because that's what you want to do anyway.
- As far as the edit itself goes, I really don't see a point in keeping the older version with all the grammatical errors and outright typos. That's not the way I'd want to be remembered. It's one thing to preserve a specific style of writing, or a specific dialect/affectation, etc. But these are outright typos: "threaths" instead of "threats", "enviromet", etc. But, it's not my page, and if that's the way you want the Cagilan Empire remembered... --Indirik 23:21, 17 June 2008 (CEST)
That is covered when he mentioned his bad writing and was more of a soldier than a historian and writer. --Bishamon Family 01:02, 18 June 2008 (CEST)
- A noble should be able to write, and if he cant write, then he has scribes write it for him. No noble let alone ruler would want to look bad historically. --Fallan 21:39, 18 June 2008 (CEST)
