Lost to history

[edit]

"Her contribution as an early advocate of Indian culture is said to have been lost to history"

  • We have a book of 30 of her songs and a half dozen images of her, and the same number of contemporary accounts in newspapers, and an obituary in the New York Times. That doesn't really qualify as "lost to history" the way a lost film is. I think the person is trying to say that she isn't given enough credit for her contributions, "lost to history" is contradictory to size of the article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:36, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Change it Richard. Obviously the commentator didnt realise that LOC and RAN were going to push her back into the main stream:-) Its probable said better at the end of the article. The other possibility is to delete it from the lede. Victuallers (talk) 17:44, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
