Pythagoras[change source]

So it looks good. A few things:

  • Dates in citations are in the format of day month year (18 March 2024). If not, it will show in a category about CS1 or CS2 errors. I usually go around and fix them. But keep that in mind.
  • Do not be afraid to copy the infobox over from en wiki. I would check (via preview) first before saving. A lot of times, an image will not work, so you will need to remove the image line and the one below it, usually the caption (as well as the mage size), as the infoboxes handle that automatically. I copied it over and included the references that came with it. I fixed the ones in the article for you.
  • Simplify - a few words need to be simplified and I would define "Pythagoreans" the irst time it is used so readers understand it.
  • Always read and re-read. Take a few minutes to process, then re-read it again to make sure everything makes sense. After each sentence ask yourself whether you understand it?.Does it make sense? Is it complete? Are any words missing?


I will look at your other article in a minute. Never hesitate to ask me any questions and if you need a mentor, let me know and I will be happy to help you. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For this one, use the advice from above. I will tell you I am working on the error with the authority control RSIM issue, so you do not need to worry about that one. I do see a couple of things that need to be done, but I would like to see what you can do. Ping me when you are ready for me to look at it again.

PotsdamLamb,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, the suggestions, and above all the cookies--they were delicious!
I've been working on the entry for Plato and feel quite happy with it now. I've added another citation, improved the text, included another picture, and copied over the info box from the original article on the regular English Wikipedia.
Thank you for your help! I hope to one day make as many edits as you.
All best,
