You are certainly off to a good start on your article considering the source pool! I like how you seem to have written sufficient material despite the low number of available sources. You might consider creating a table of contents. I would suggest pictures, but as I have discovered in my brief search that would be difficult. I did find some interesting information in Google books on page 600 of the following link about John of Saxony. http://books.google.com/books?id=t-BF1CHkc50C&pg=PA598&dq=John+of+Saxony+astronomer&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pD6NU9GyGsKjqAb47IDABA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Saxony&f=false

Other than that, I'm afraid there is little I can do to help without going full fledged into researching. Me making stylistic comments I don't think would be helpful at this stage. This book might also be of help too: http://books.google.com/books?id=hr62AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA292&dq=John+of+Saxony+astronomer&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pD6NU9GyGsKjqAb47IDABA&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=John%20of%20Saxony%20astronomer&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wdjeremy (talk • contribs) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have added 6611 bits and have removed 2229 bits. I'm not sure how our professor will add this up, but having the 6611 - 2229 = 4382 bits. Wdjeremy (talk) 20:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! You have contributed so much already to this page! I'm estimating that you have added about 4900 bytes. You are are right on the cusp, wiki on!

Off the bat, I definitely think you should include a table of contents. I realize that there may be limited available sources for John of Saxony but you can supplement the article with pictures of the Alfonsine tables. This will help the reader visualize how they actually work while reading alongside the text. You may always want to add a visual or diagram of the geocentric model of Ptolemy's Almagest. Also, revise the article for grammatical errors and punctuation. Other than that, onward with the editing and great job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhareemy (talk • contribs) 04:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
