Southern China IS NOT close to North Korea
As of 2017-04-22, the text includes a phrase, "Southern China close to North Korea". Southern China, as I understand that term, is over 2,000 km from North Korea. At minimum, this phrase does not communicate well to me, but I don't know enough to fix it. DavidMCEddy (discuss • contribs) 14:59, 22 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I've added some files and text that may help! The phrase "Southern China close to North Korea" is in a quote from an author. To the people of the area north of Korea, Balhae was China, appears to be the author's intent. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 23:51, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Scope of History
It seems this draft is currently all over the place regarding the scope of history. My understanding is that "History" is primarily concerned with written records, so "began" with writing. That has been stretched at least in popular programs to include all of human activity (most of which is professionally considered "pre-history" and in the realm of archaeology or anthropology. Before Homo sapiens, the subject becomes paleontology (and of course there's argument about that boundary). Rather than duplicate what's being done over at Draft:Paleontology, might it be better to limit this resource to human history, subject to later refinement?


 * Human history or History/Humans can be a separate resource. This lecture on History was put into "Draft:" namespace because it was in Main Page (Resource) space. See Requests for Deletion and Wikiversity talk:Requests for Deletion. Lectures are different from encyclopedia articles. The beginning of this one has been contributed to by several. Again, this is kind of a TOC keynote lecture for the School:History. My major contribution is the timeline backwards from Recent history to the Hadean based on Draft:Geochronology. See also, Draft:Middle Ages. Have fun! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 12:24, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
