Hero of Alexandria
We have the texts of the extant works of Heron in original Greek copied by Byzantine scholars, so it is wrong to write that they survived in Arab translations.

Amt
→Denmark: As described in discussion page, county is wrong. Article "Counties of Denmark" must be renamed provinces of Denmark.

Marion, Cyprus
→History: If ancient geographers would have spoken, they would have used this pronounciation and not the previous one, which belongs to a much later date.

Dyskolos
Menander writes the plays then it is pointless to refer to his writing "about" his characters, he writes the parts, not about them. Apart from that 'progressive' is a loaded weaselword unfit for antique subjects.

Odometer
→Ancient China: Informative that he lived during that dynasty, but supplying the dates is not immediately relevant, that there is a link to the dynasty itself must suffice

Hut
→Word: Whether people want to call something a 'hut' or a 'house' cannot be forced by a moralizing wikipedia article. The object of wikipedia is to inform, not to express private opinions and serve as a moral high-ground for sociological theories

Democratization of knowledge
A rare case of total ghibberish: "Democratization" means the process of turning into 'government by the people' (see etymology of democracy) - no matter what the meaning was intended to be, this is total nonsense. We need meaningful words for the title.

Plot is certainly complex enough to merit the amount of detail in this article; many people will come here for clarification
