Paragraph needs clarification[edit]

The third paragraph:

Recently, as growing evidence has indicated that the vast majority of dwarf ellipticals have properties that are not at all similar to elliptical galaxies, but are closer to irregular and late-type spiral galaxies, this term has been used to refer to all of the galaxies that share the properties of those above. These sorts of galaxies may in fact be the most common type of galaxies in the universe, but are much harder to see than other types of galaxies because they are so faint.

needs clarification. In the first sentence, what does "this term" refer to, dwarf ellipticals or dwarf spheroidals?. At the end of that sentence, what does "those above" refer to? What is the relationship of dwarf spheroidal, dwarf elliptical, elliptical, irregular, and late-type spiral galaxies? --R. S. Shaw (talk) 01:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
