:::Your explanation is that the Cynics were in the wrong section. I have rectified this by changing the section names, even though you have not actually provided any source saying the Cynics are Classical period. The classification of the Cynics, the Skeptics, the Stoics and the Epicureans as the 'main schools' of the period is supported by two books written by philosophy professors. Furthermore, they also share fundamental features (also sourced) which is why they should be in the same section so that these similarities can be discussed in one place. The remaining schools can be divided into the new sections I have added, one for less significant pre-existing schools, and one for the religiously motivated ones, which together cover all. Otherwise I can just delete them since none are properly cited. [[User:Keepcalmandchill|Keepcalmandchill]] ([[User talk:Keepcalmandchill|talk]]) 01:27, 13 November 2020 (UTC) |

::::If you need a "source" to explain to you that while Socrates' student Plato, and Plato's student Aristotle, are in the Classical period, but you question that Socrates' student Antisthenes and the later Cynic Diogenes, who famously met Alexander the Great -- whose death marks the terminus of the Classical period -- are not in the Classical period, you do not know enough about this subject matter to edit it.
