this is my little rant but I feel it goes deeper than just this one article, we need admins to talk about the rather touchy subject of what this wiki will cover in terms of history and how it changes ethics.. many acts done in ancient times right up to early 1920s would be considered villainous by today's standards yet were normal for the society of the time, can we really make cultural norms of these eras gone by "evil" due to our 21st century sensibilities?

I'm not saying historical abuse was ever right, enslavement was always wrong etc.. it's just how can we really declare characters evil if they are doing what society as a whole at the time was doing? a crime is not truly a crime until someone comes along and decides the old behavior is unacceptable, thus outlawing it.. prior to that person coming along and changing the social norm the crime could well of been a normal thing.

unless the figures are exceptionally cruel even by their time periods I feel we need to make it clear that we can't really in good faith make articles on historical-era characters based on actions we see as "evil" in our time period but was seen as acceptable in their era.
