Welsh patronymic example in 'Seeing Like a State' section
editI changed one sentence. For context, the preceding sentence is: "In the case of last names, Scott cites a Welsh man who appeared in court and identified himself with a long string of patronyms: "John, ap Thomas ap William" etc."
The prior version of the changed sentence is: "In his local village, this naming system carried a lot of information, because people could identify him as the son of Thomas and grandson of William, and thus distinguish him from the other Johns and the other grandchildren of Thomas."
The new version of the changed sentence is: "In his local village, this naming system carried a lot of information, because people could identify him as the son of Thomas and grandson of William, and thus distinguish him from the other Johns, the other children of Thomas, and the other grandchildren of William."
There is an error in the prior version, as John is Thomas's son, not grandson. But is the new version correct with nothing superfluous? Gvros8 (talk) 21:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Scott wrote two different books on anarchist theory, why is he associated with libertarian-ism
editCan this be changed to the anarchism tab to better reflect his actual view points and work? 220.233.178.107 (talk) 04:03, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
