In the introduction, please change "was known to be compiled from as early as 722 BC although only 2nd-century BC texts survived" by adding "have" before "survived." The current wording sounds like only the 2nd-century texts survived a specific event, or survived until a certain time, but the actual meaning (confirmed by the Spring and Autumn Annals article) is that the 2nd-century texts are the oldest ones currently in existence. 208.95.51.53 (talk) 17:42, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Please repunctuate the pseudohistory section. The second sentence is long and easily misunderstood. Right now it says

Pseudohistory is a term applied to texts which purport to be historical in nature but which depart from standard historiographical conventions in a way which undermines their conclusions. Closely related to deceptive historical revisionism, works which draw controversial conclusions from new, speculative, or disputed historical evidence, particularly in the fields of national, political, military, and religious affairs, are often rejected as pseudohistory.

Please change it to
