Joshua McNeill<p>A lot of the maze-like <a href="https://h4.io/tags/citation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>citation</span></a> trails I've found lately have been <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguists</span></a> being haphazard with <a href="https://h4.io/tags/historical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historical</span></a> facts, assuming that some secondary source that they've read leads back to primary data at some point. Makes sense given they're not <a href="https://h4.io/tags/historians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historians</span></a> so these facts are sometimes relatively ancillary to the <a href="https://h4.io/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> topic, but it's strange to not use the most direct sources in your area of focus in an annual review of all articles.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/socialscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialscience</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a></p>
CoinOfNote<p>This week's E-Sylum has a piece on the coins of Dimitian. I like the opening: "Titus Flavius Domitianus – better known as Domitian – has gotten a raw deal from historians, thanks largely to Rome's ace gossip columnist, Suetonius (lived c. 69-122)."

Medievalists.net<p>We have an in-depth article by Richard Abels that looks at the idea and debate around 'feudalism'.

Like police brutality of that era, there may have been many protests where violence occurred but that never made it into the big national storyline. This is why we have <a href="https://c.im/tags/historians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historians</span></a>. How did you stumble across this Wikipedia article?</p>
