[edit] Links for each volume.
In October 2006, I did a lot of work to link the critical ideas from each volume title to the appropriate general history articles.
In November 2006, an editor swept through this page using WP:AWB . This program automatically enforces a wikipedia policy against links in headings, so killed my work.
Since the world is not perfect, and since I want to avoid a repeat, I have now added a short sentence to each volume immediately after the heading. These sentences have the proper links, and should be safe from overzealous automated tools. -Arch dude 03:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Looks good :) and I fixed your link to AWB above. --Quiddity 04:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! I try hard, but I am not a detail person. I should really sweep the article and add many more links. -Arch dude 01:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Criticisms
I added some defense of the volumes and Mr. Durants undertaking to the criticisms. As Mr. Durant himself admits that errors are inevitable in his work, I've used the opening of his first volume, the better to let him defend his own works. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.50.176.188 (talk)
