Hello,
My name is Sotirios Lewis and I am an Undergraduate Microbiology major, in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, currently in my Junior year.
Peer Review and Copyedit
Rephrasing sentences for clarity: I did not want to directly change your words on your page so I put my suggestions here as well.
1)"It depicts the story of a beautiful princess who rejected suitable candidates for her marriage for a commoner who must prove his worth for her through heroic acts" I think this sentence is a bit confusing because of its wordiness. Here is a alternative way to achieve the same meaning by making it two sentences."The story depicts a beautiful princess who rejected suitable candidates to marry a commoner. The commoner had to prove his worth through heroic acts in order to marry her."
2)The sentence " The epic poem takes elements of ancient Greek art forms to make a classical style which is uniquely Hellenic, as well as introducing the themes of class struggle and national identity during a period of occupation." seems hard to follow. I would make it into two sentences such as "The epic poem takes elements of ancient Greek art forms to make a classical style which is uniquely Hellenic. It also introduces the themes of class struggle and national identity during a period of occupation."
Additions:
1) I researched "Erotokritos" and noticed it is a romance novel. I think that should be included in your lead.
2)I believe some of the topics introduced should be explained more clearly or hyperlinked for clarity. For example, Cretan dialect and Hellenic. You could say hellenic means Greek. Adding to your lead article would give a better explanation of your topic.
3)Some ideas for possible sections could be about the plot, time period of the novel, themes that you mention in the lead, and the main characters.
4)I would add in the lead section the year the novel was written.
Grammar:
1)I corrected Stylistic to stylistic and Dialect to dialect
Formatting:
1)Under your references there were two citations. One is from Valadakis and the other is from Dimitriou. Since you already have those under your references section they should go into your citation section. I put them under citation and added the page numbers you used.
References:
1)I found the link for your source from Dimitriou so you can add a retrieved from for this source. http://dro.deakin.edu.au/eserv/DU:30062438/dimitriou-transformingparamythi-2014A.pdf
2)I could not find your source from Littlewood. I suggest adding a retrieved from so the viewer can find it.
3) I noticed the reference "Porter, R. & Teich M. (1988) Romanticism in National Context Cambridge University Press. Retrieved From:" is missing the retrieved from information — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindseyfrankel (talk • contribs) 02:13, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
User page versus sandbox
[edit]Please note that your sandbox (User:SotiriosLewis/sandbox) is the place for working on drafts, keeping notes, practicing edits, etc., whilst the user page (User:SotiriosLewis) is supposed to be used for providing information about yourself. --Calton | Talk 22:43, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
