Quote[edit]

Hey @Uriel1022: I really like this fun little article you whipped up and think it dovetails nicely into some of the other prayer book pages we've been churning out recently. My only concern is that you present a very modified quote from the (super handy) Oxford Guide with significant additions. I would encourage maybe altering the quote to be more paraphrasing. Otherwise, great work and I hope you submit this as a DYK. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:42, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really glad you enjoyed reading this little one. I did a little alteration to the quote per your suggestion, paraphrasing can sometimes still be a bit of a challenge as not being a native speaker myself. Please don't hesitate to lend me a hand whenever you see fit, I'd much appreciate it. Love what you said, hope you have fun editing.

@Uriel1022 and SL93: There is a citation needed tag in the article that should be resolved before this can be promoted. Z1720 (talk) 00:34, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just making it clear that there is an issue. SL93 (talk) 01:09, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have been failing to find references, photos or any scanned content to demonstrate the difference between the first edition and the 1863 "simple" edition. I know it because I own a copy of the 1863 "simple" edition, please check out my photos on Wikimedia, I can provide more photos if necessary.

Uriel1022 (talk) 02:13, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uriel1022 Is removing that part from the article an option until it can be referenced? SL93 (talk) 03:01, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 I only removed the part concerning the "eight illuminated title pages", because I think the "alteration and simplification of page ornaments" can be illustrated by the two pictures in "Overview" section.

Uriel1022 (talk) 04:10, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that basing the text off of the images would be original research. "Enhanced version" and "simple version" are quoted, but where do those quotations come from? SL93 (talk) 11:02, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 I removed everything concerning the "simple version". "Enhanced version" and "simple version" are based on factual difference between the two 1863 editions, how should they be referred to otherwise?

Uriel1022 (talk) 21:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uriel1022 That's not my issue. My issue is that quotes would mean that you're quoting something. The new source is fine, but calling it an enhanced version is original research when the source doesn't say it. SL93 (talk) 22:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 Please take a look at the article and let me know if there are still any problems.

Uriel1022 (talk) 01:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is approved. I removed the quoting for the "simple" version. It can be added back if the edition itself says the word "simple". SL93 (talk) 01:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
