Someone has already incorporated this into the wiki entry for historical development of gravitational theory, which may or may not be entirely justified:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_gravitational_theor...

That's an interesting article, including some challenges to Aristotle's views and gravity-related concepts introduced by Indian and Islamic scholars of the 6th - 12th century eras or so.

Isn't that a core problem with Wikipedia? I don't understand why its reputation on HN improved, a few years ago, from 'infotainment but a symbol of mis-/disinformation' to 'source of truth'.
