Incorrect "Notable Ideas"

Certainly just copied over from Aristotle, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.236.221.215 (talk) 04:52, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sami's Peer Review

Interesting topic! Done well: overall, seems neutral, gives multiple sides; organization makes sense. Areas to improve: the lead section seems a little too long and comprehensive- just an overview would suffice; in the last section, not much is written about the 'negative aspects' of Agnodice (SamiAltman (talk) 05:06, 9 November 2018 (UTC))[reply]

Alec Rashidi's Peer Review

1. Does a good job of telling me who Agnodice was. Article taught me something new, I had never heard of her before. 2. None I can think of at the moment. 3. I guess just add more text, and maybe speak more of Agnodice's specific contributions to medicine. 4. Cool references and pictures. ````Alec Rashidi

changes I've made

I noticed that some of the new material recently added is very reliant on older works, e.g. the claims about Hippocrates and midwifery come from the entry on 'midwifery' in the 1809 The British encyclopedia, or, Dictionary of arts and sciences, Volume 4 by William Nicholson (I checked this via a simple web search). I have added references to current scholarship instead. Also the references given went to the sign-in page for a university library and thus did not make it clear what sources were being used in support, so I have clarified those where possible. I've also added in links to other wikipedia articles on ancient topics (e.g. Baubo) and on the history of medicine (e.g. Boivin). I've cut the length to remove some repetition. I hope this makes the article more readable.
