South Asian historiography

South Asian historiography is not mentioned in this article. When did it start? What characterises it? Acwilson9 (talk) 06:51, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undue section?

The recently added section Historiographic and Conceptual Problems of North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa seems out of place in this broad overview of historiography; it's much too specific and technical for an article on such a general topic and gives undue weight to a specific aspect of historiography. I don't know if there's a better place for this content. What do others think? Lennart97 (talk) 16:00, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

cliometrics

As a quantitative economic history graduate I can confidently say that cliometrics is not about history anymore. This subdiscipline almost completely engaged to economics. It has a controversial contribution to historiography. Some quantitative ecohist do not even know the language of the society she is writing about. I suggest you to add history of capitalism as the historicized version of economic history. I can also contribute the improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.209.32.73 (talk) 06:07, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cliometrics is generally not considered a historical field by historians. That's why even most known economic history journals are not cited by them. So I agree with this comment. Is there any objection? 88.230.143.189 (talk) 04:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
