Historia Augusta[edit]

Beatus.Pistor, your edits are beginning to look like vandalism. I do however want to avoid an edit war if possible, so could you please give me your rationale for why you placed the tags in that article? Johhog (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Johhog, my edits are not vandalism. My updates of the article were victim of vandalism (if you look at the article's history). This is a debated topic in current academic research (see for instance the reference to Cameron 2011 there), but for some reason it contains only one side of the controversy, and there were users who tried to edit out/censor the subsection on 'criticism of the current orthodox view'. In addition, the article--as it was before I started working on it--contained originally factual errors or statements that were far from being substantiated. (talk) 15:55 17 June 2012 (GMT)
