Beginning of article on Historiography. --Anthony.Sebastian 18:52, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

Historiography is fully covered at History, so I don't see much point in a separate article. The definition used here is not at all standard. Richard Jensen 19:13, 17 May 2008 (CDT)
Professor Jensen: I will not proceed further with developing this article. Wrote it to try to get a firm grip on the meaning(s) of the term 'historiography', on the distinctions among the senses of the term. I thought it might help readers who, like myself, do not really appreciate those distinctions, which distinctions I do not find explicitly described in History.
Will you point out where this description goes "not at all standard"?
I have also given some thought about a short piece on 'doxography', mostly definitional, not presently mentioned in CZ. Do you have thoughts about that? -Anthony.Sebastian 23:01, 17 May 2008 (CDT)
