Reviewing Area

 * It looks great but there is a serious lack of citations in the description. That is one of the core things that is needed.Dnaugle21 (talk) 20:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

So 1 month later, I'm back and here to review. I like how you included the original Portuguese and the English translation. If I recall correctly, for the Portuguese in the first paragraph, you should put in brackets to signify that it was the original. Better yet, this format: (Portuguese: Arvoredo Tanto, e tamanho, e tão basto, e de tanta folhagem, que não se pode calcular) then include the English translation. For the content section where you discuss the letter, citations from the text would be a good idea. Otherwise, keep up the good work.Dnaugle21 (talk) 22:55, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
