The article says there are only 3 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Local Group. However, according to the [Local Group] article, most of the galaxies in the Local Group are dE or dwarf spheroidal galaxies. (The table lists M32 and M110 as elliptical, but they are both dwarfs.) I count about 16 dE types in the table (from dE0 to dE5). —Preceding

Yes, but there seems to be some confusion between
dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) and
dwarf elliptical galaxies (dE). I would guess the
Local Group article uses oldish data. And it may also occur that for a while there was only three known dE:s in the Local Group, so that also this article uses oldish data. To make matters much worse, the articles on
NGC 147 and
NGC 185 says that NGC 147 and NGC 185 are dSph, so that the section Example herein refers to false facts. This article is in a grave need of rewrite. ... said:
