::: If you see updates you can make, then do so. That's the advantage of pooling knowledge and working together. I should point out there is a difference between navy commerce and military control. You may rework the wording as you see fit to show both aspects. As far as sections, they are generally the direction that the site goes with articles that can be broken in that fashion. There's no hard and fast rule as to what length that should take place, but remember also that we want our articles to be read by our target audience -- and that does include keeping their attention when they first bring up the page. In any case, there is certainly no insult meant when sections are added. It is not a commentary on your work or what you have provided, merely a choice in layout.

I know. I'm old fashioned that's all (And I have a sciatic nerve that gets me very crabby, especially at 4 in the morning.) I am used to reading good ol'fashioned books where the section headings don't smack you 'round the face and actually take your attention away from the text. I have no problems with additions, corrections, and what have you... if they are correct of course.

Ok. Why didn't the citation work. I typed in <ref>Oxford Companion to Classical Literature</ref> What did I do wrong? [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 15:37, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
