factbook?

Larry Craig

I was reading in Ignatius letter to the Magnesians, one of the apostolic fathers.  It begins with mentioning "the church which is at Magnesia on the Maeender."

I fully expected that I could right click on either of the M words and get at least a geographical identification of some kind or some basic information.  Nothing.  It did have Magnesia as a chemical but not a place.  There was a Wikipedia link which had some information.

I have 25000 resources in my library.  I could have done a search, but somehow I expected that Logos would have taken at part of that for me.  Am I expecting too much?  After all, it is not a Biblical text.  

Did I miss something?

Without knowing the resource, I can't say for certain. But only Biblical entities (person, place, thing, event) are expected to have links. Many other entities are as well, especially if they are headwords in some dictionary like resource. "Hope" they are linked is acceptable, "expect" is marginal, but I'd say "fully expect" is a step too far ...  [;)] Secondly, when the resource was produced should influence your expectations - newer resources tend to have more tagging.
