cannot always be

[edit]

"their historical statements cannot always be relied on." is in the text of this article now about Bolsec's writings, in the section 'works'. I think that's an awkward way to express things. Debatable, disputed by many, or far better "unreliable" , with a footnote or two about the unreliability of the writings. My biggest problem with "cannot always be relied on" is that all texts, especially those from the 1500's, should be checked against other sources. There aren't accounts that should simply be relied on.

Secondly in the beginning of the article it says he became a Protestant and a controversialist. Does the term mean anything that belongs in an encyclopedia. Almost all writers, thinkers, politicians, etc could be called controversialists by someone. Tjc (talk) 09:40, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
