[edit] Original research in the "Civil disobedience" and "Conclusion" sections

In the "civil disobedience" and "conclusions" sections there are several interpretive statements that lack citations, e.g., "Socrates makes two more logical errors. He defends his moral pacifism with a bad analogy and props it up with a false dilemma." If these statements are widely held views in scholarship on the Crito, it should not be difficult to give references, following the example of WP:CITE and WP:FOOTNOTE. On the other hand, if no citation can be supplied for these interpretations, the sections need to be rewritten in accordance with WP:OR.

Please note that I've placed {{original research}} templates in several other articles on Platonic dialogues, including Charmides (dialogue), Protagoras (dialogue)‎, and Theaetatus (dialogue). --Akhilleus (talk) 04:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
