I have removed the LGB category tag because there's nothing in the article to support it; if it's important enough to merit placement in a category, it's important enough to be in an encyclopaedic biography. I have no objection to its reinsertion if someone can come up with a citation within the article itself. Binabik80 04:23, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

well like most men in grecce at that time, he had a thing for little boys, but the as i said must did, the question is, does this make him gay?--JWJW Talk Long Live Esperanza! :) 12:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

The bottom citation link, Re-examining Solon's ideas on sortition for safeguarding democracy, does not link to the document. Can anybody provide its URL? Paxfeline 01:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

"Goedde summary" Section seems out of place, and not up to par with the rest of the article. I would reccomend it be removed, and/or its content to be worked into the rest of the article. Themusicgod1 11:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ten Commandments of Solon?

This may end up an NPOV issue, but should Solon's "Ten Commandments" be mentioned or listed? If there aren't any objections, I'll go do that. --hello,gadren 04:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Readability

I went through the document which had dumb things in it like 'takes a lot of shits'!! and the word 'tripping' for traveling. It looks like it was written by someone who did not speak English or was doing a literal tranlation of another document. I tried to improve the readability but it still looks as if it needs a thorough rewrite. --Johnor 19:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Never, I wrote 'takes a lot of xxxxx'. That should have been vandalism. --Anawhoisawitch 22:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)anawhoisawitch Yes. It was vandalism, by 163.153.222.110. Also, he deleted a whole section. --Anawhoisawitch 22:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)anawhoisawitch

Seriously, get someone fluent in English to rewrite this.
