Eton College

In your edit on Eton College [1], you reintroduced references to Harrow and Winchester that had been removed several times as unsourced. The topic was also discussed on the talk page. Thus, the removal of the Harrow and Winchester text can hardly be called "vandalism". Yours, Huon 10:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Sulla

Saying history showed Sulla to have been wiser than Caesar because he died in bed while Caesar died knifed is an opinion or a comment; it's a conclusion reached subjectively. Do I agree with it? I don't know since I can't say I've researched the topic enough.

Anyway the information on Sulla in that short sentence is elsewhere in the article, while the information on how Caesar died belongs in the Caesar article so is not required here. Vincent 06:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Disagree, this a a commonly referred to in books about Sulla; few would argue that it is not wiser to die in bed rather than be murdered by multiple stab wounds, some inflicted by supposed friends...Sulla16

So a lot of books about Sulla are POV. But apply the same argument to other historical figures. Ulysses Grant died in his own bed while Abraham Lincoln died of a gunshot wound. Was Grant the wiser president? Vincent 09:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I think we should continue the discussion on the article's talk page, and invite comments by others. Vincent 03:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

great, but leave article as it has been for over a year...Sulla16
