Minor edits
I had to add a sentence to an existing article for an assignment, I added a small detail to the bestiary section about the phoenix. tried to add in a way that didn't affect citation. I also corrected the spelling of Philippe's name throughout the article.

 * The name used should be the same as the title of the article - which uses the name from the one biography of Philip. As for the insertion - inserting information into an already sourced paragraph must be done by making sure that the information is supported by the already existent citation. I do not think that Mermier actually supports the information inserted. "Philippe’s description of the bird follows the stylistic language of the Latin Physiologus B version whereby the phoenix’s three days of self-immolation, rebirth, and maturity to adulthood is used to symbolize the resurrection of Christ." was added but there is nothing in Mermier about "stylistic language" nor does it support that the aniimal's "three days of self-immolation, rebirth, and maturity to adulthood is used to symbolize the resurrection of Christ" - Mermier says that the phoenix is the symbol of Christ only, not anything else.

 * I totally understand and appreciate your feedback. His name is properly spelled Philippe though not Philip. The information that I inserted is absolutely from that source just not from that page. It's from page 75. I wasn't sure how to change the page numbers and I didn't want to mess the source up.  DaisyBearP (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
