Hello, JHC Senior, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi! Vami_IV left a message saying to use Google Books, and other suggestions in Template:Friendly search suggestions - I just wanted to make sure that you saw this. Good suggestions would be to use Google Scholar as well - they may bring up something useful - as well as check databases like JSTOR.

Just at a quick glance, here are some things I found: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]

If you have any universities nearby, you should also look to see if it's possible to do an inter-library loan or to visit their libraries - most universities are pretty easy going when it comes to allowing other institutions access to their offerings. You can always do a quick search of their libraries online to make sure that they have something you can use, of course! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:45, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi! To make the reference section look uniform, make sure that you only have one reference list template in the article and that it is located below all of the sources being used in the article. If any sources are placed below it, the source won't show up properly in the reference section and will give off the impression that there are multiple reference sections. I've fixed this for you.

Notes

[edit]

I've reverted your edits at Modern Greek Enlightenment since the addition put a lot of emphasis on a single person, Iosipos Moisiodax. He does look like he's a major figure, however this much detail is something that would be more appropriate in the person's article - the article on MGE should have a general overview of the topic and not focus on a single person's work and beliefs. It should more resemble how the general article on the Age of Enlightenment covers various topics. Also, just as a general note since I know that this has been an issue with others in the class, make sure that you're only summarizing what has been explicitly stated in the source material.

Offhand, I'd recommend moving this to the article on Iosipos Moisiodax and labeling the section "Philosophy". Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:31, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
