Interesting collection. But is it correctly named? Why use a big word like "historiographer" where a little word like "historian" is available? Is this perhaps an attempt to define away those inferior people who insist on being called historians in spite of their defects? By using a two-bit code word like historiographer you insure that the ordinary seeker after information (who has never heard of historiography) will never enter the category and never trouble your peace of mind. I think the Wikipedia should be somewhat more populist. DKleinecke 23:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with above. It should be historians of Islam. Historiographer is not only unnecessary, it is also incorrect. A historiographer would be someone who studied the practice of writing history, not someone who studied history itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.234.136.244 (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
