Time frame
I'd prefer not to use "c. 1800 BC until 1550 BC" in the TFA. All 3 competing theories put him well after 1800; is there any reason not to say "1800 BC until 1550 BC"? ("Between 1800 and 1550 BC" also works, btw.) - Dank (push to talk) 14:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the problem?Iry-Hor (talk) 18:50, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You're saying circa 1800 to 1550 BC. Usually, when there's a date range, "circa" is unwelcome, because it forces the reader to guess. What date can we use that works without "circa"? 1800? 1850? - Dank (push to talk) 19:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You could say "between c. 1750 BC and 1550 BC"?Iry-Hor (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
