[edit] Proofreader's notes

Some suggestions/observations that arose during my proofread:

• It would be good to make a note somewhere in the article--at least for a while--that it's a translation. I believe I've seen that done elsewhere, but not sure where.
• The corresponding article on FR WP has since been broken up into separate articles. Someone familiar with the related EN articles may want to consider following suit here, or at least adding/redoing some interwiki links.
  • The original FR WP article was apparently fr:Époque classique; by the time the English translation process was complete, the FR WP article had been made into a stub and its body moved into two articles (5th c. and 4th c.): fr:Grèce classique au Ve siècle and fr:Grèce classique au IVe siècle.
• I suggest all dates drop the "BC" and the article have a note at the top explaining that all dates are BC unless otherwise indicated. This is common practice in books and articles dealing primarily with BC dates.
• The title of the first sub-section under Theban hegemony..., 5th-century Boeotion confederacy (447-386), doesn't seem to jive with the 4th-century events described in it.
• Please note that I am not an expert on this topic and may have misinterpreted some French expressions as a result.
