huzzah for open source historiography!

Here below is an insert from the Wikipedia article on Henrik Ibsen which ends with an edit that I, my very self, added over two weeks ago. It persists in its place and that makes me very excited.
Ibsen is often ranked as one of the truly great playwrights in the European tradition.[3] Richard Hornby describes him as "a profound poetic dramatist—the best since Shakespeare".[4][3] He influenced other playwrights and novelists such as George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Miller, James Joyce, and Eugene O'Neill. His works also influenced the burgeoning feminist movement in the United States through a number of his female characters, the most famous example being Nora in “[A Doll's House].” He portrayed a “violent death and rebirth” for women, showing an alternate course that their lives could take if they stepped away from the roles the current society expected them to fill.[5]
