	IPcentral Weblog: Wikipedia Expunges "History"

		Because the likelihood of casual users making significant contributions is determined not only by how easy it is for casual readers to contribute, but also by how many such readers there are to begin with.
		Look -- wikipedia can't have it both ways, you need to cite your facts, sometimes that means going to the library to cite a fact you already know to be true.

	Secret history Information
		A secret history (or shadow history) is a version of history that is at odds with commonly accepted historical events and which is claimed to have been deliberately suppressed or forgotten.
		Often this relies on alternate history, with the end result of the changed historical premise being a world that is otherwise indistinguishable from the present (an example would be The Alteration by Kingsley Amis, in which the entire 20th century world is run by the Catholic Church).
		Secret history is sometimes used in a science fiction universe to preserve continuity by reconciling predicted events in a science fiction universe with what actually happened.

	History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When used as the name of a field of study, history refers to the study and interpretation of past humans, families and societies as preserved primarily through written sources.
		For others history has become a "general" term meaning the study of "everything" that is known about the human past (but even this barrier is being challenged by new fields such as Big History).
		The term history entered the English language in 1390 with the meaning of "relation of incidents, story" via the Old French histos, from the Latin historia "narrative, account." This itself was derived from the Ancient Greek ἱστορία, historía, meaning "a learning or knowing by inquiry, history, record, narrative," from the verb ἱστορεῖν, historeîn, "to inquire."
