Hi! So, I've never edited an article before but I have one that I definitely want to add information for. (Context: in the history of literature article, under medieval Italy, I want to add Dante's "The Divine Comedy" because duh) But I'm not sure about how to go about it. I know how to edit and do that but do I just add the information and links? I'm pretty sure I can match the article's tone no problem, just unsure how to approach it and I don't want to mess up. --Buffyluvr (talk) 17:34, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240620173400","author":"Buffyluvr","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Buffyluvr-20240620173400-Question_from_Buffyluvr_(17:34,_20_June_2024)","replies":["c-UndercoverClassicist-20240620175000-Buffyluvr-20240620173400"]}}-->
- Hello - I wouldn't be too worried about getting it wrong, to be honest: "be bold" is one of the key maxims around here. The main thing to do is to put the information and some sort of reference to say where you got it. Don't worry too much about the style of that reference: as long as another editor can work out what the source is, it can always be polished up later on.

Hello, UndercoverClassicist. I have reviewed introductory videos, followed and likely missed directions, created a first article, and viewed your talk page. This first article is an autobiography (a classical sculptor, architect, historian, and poet). Next articles will be biographies of 20th Century classical artists ignored or forgotten. Could be that I missed some detail about the "Sandbox" because the article neither publishes nor offers itself for review. What's to do? Sincerely, Francis Alexander --Francis Alexander (talk) 02:18, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240621021800","author":"Francis Alexander","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Francis_Alexander-20240621021800-Question_from_Francis_Alexander_(02:18,_21_June_2024)","replies":["c-UndercoverClassicist-20240621062300-Francis_Alexander-20240621021800"]}}-->
- Hello: are you talking about the notes on Michael J. Curtis on your user page? If you want feedback on it, go to Articles for Creation and follow the process there (you'll need to copy the code into a new page). Through that process, an experienced editor can have a look on it, advise on any changes that need to be made, and approve it for publication as an article when it's ready. I notice you said that the article was an autobiography: we generally don't advise writing articles about yourself, for various reasons, including the fact that it is very difficult to judge things like neutrality, verifiability and original research when you are yourself inseperable from the things you are writing about.

Your note that Theresa May resigned from parliament before having to run again to potentially be booted is not true. She ran in the 2019 election and won after she resigned as Prime Minister.

- The summary read "May and Johnson resigned before they could be voted out", which is true: Maidenhead went Liberal. Granted, the result might have been different if it was May running rather than a faceless Tory candidate, but she stepped down before she was pushed. What she did in 2019 doesn't matter in the context of the 2024 election.

Thank you today for Alan Wace, "about a leading light of Mycenaean archaeology, and one whose full story has only relatively recently come to light. Wace has long been known for his excavations at Mycenae, particularly his work on the various fancifully-named tombs like "Atreus", "Aegisthus" and "Clytemnestra", and less widely for his spat with the formidable Arthur Evans. Though labelled as a "heretic" and drummed out of the British School at Athens, Wace's iconoclastic rejection of the idea that Mycenaean Greece was a dependent province of a Minoan thalassocracy was ultimately proven true and, depending on who you ask, may be the conclusive proof that Greek culture can trace an unbroken line back to the Bronze Age. Less well known until recently was his wartime espionage work: he worked in British intelligence during both World Wars and was a major link in the chain of monitoring and concealing secret agents in the Eastern Mediterranean."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240713053600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240713053600-TFA","replies":["c-UndercoverClassicist-20240713161400-Gerda_Arendt-20240713053600"]}}-->
