@Dɑvïd It seems you and I have a different tagging philosophy for questions. So either I need to understand something and change my view, or you do, or we both do in some way. I tagged history and context because determining what an author knew of someone else in his time would require historical information on the persons and/or contextual information from the writing.
Regarding history, the tag info includes this: "events narrated within the Bible or of Bible times generally, or about the history of the biblical text itself." So the history of whether the author knew of Paul seems to apply.
Of context, part of tag description states: "on the nature of the context of the specified text, and the constraints it places on the understanding of that text," which to me, whether the author knew of Paul or not would be part of the "nature" of Revelation's context.
And I tagged authorship because it was seeking information about the author himself, which to me matches the description of the tag: "Questions about the authorship of particular parts of the bible" (which I read as either who wrote that part or information about the author himself that might have affected that text).
So that was why I added the tags. I'm open to hear why you removed them, and anyone else's thoughts about tagging philosophy (which this meta post did nothing to help me with :-) ).
