Hello there
I was wondering why the title had been changed and why Spartite had been added?
Its history and users is clearer, and Homoioi was more common for the warrior class. However ive took note and will add spartite to the Homoioi entery im doing

The title 'The Phalanx - History and Users' has been changed by the italics since I returned the entry after Subbing it.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'why Spartite had been added' - if you are referring to 'Spartiate' in footnote 4, then it wasn't added. Your original article A2559981 had 'also as Spartiate. Homoioi roughly translated as "Peers"' as a footnote - this had to be altered to bring it into line with h2g2 edited style (Capitalise first letter, closing full stop, single quotes etc.)

It makes no sense though any more (the title). The Phallanx - history and users makes no sense what so ever, even in english terms (say it out loud and see)
Ahh then i shouldnt have done it. My fault, ce la vie

Sorry to sound so annoyed, but did you read the entery? The picture has totally no relevance the phallanx
The roman legion, in the fashion portrayed there, didnt come into prominance until the death of the phallanx, its totally wrong and a vast mistake. Itd be better with no picture then a picture which is inaccurate. Please please please dont let this go into the guide with that horrendous picture because its totally wrong
Youd be better with a greek helmet - thats more androngenous

History of the Phallanx - see now that i can live with because it makes sense where as before is a bit blurgh.
The picture though i cant. Its probibly the most stupid mistake ive ever seen, and its incredibly annoying because ive been waiting since april for it to nearly get into the guide and then this happens. Plain stupidity.
could you have a word with the italics so it can be changed/removed for historical accuracy, or should i?
