Talk:Poème sur le désastre de Lisbonne

[Untitled]
Hey so I am just fixing up some grammatical mistakes and fixing up some language issues.

I noticed parts of the article have been directly copy pasted from a cliffsnotes website so I am working on rewording it all (and just making it better).

I am nowhere near complete and have left many of the parts I have issues with in for now, just making progressive changes since the depth of the article was fairly shallow.

Anyways, if anybody spots any mistakes or wants to change something feel free. Voltaire&#38;Leibniz (talk) 08:25, 28 December 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Voltaire&Leibniz (talk • contribs) 08:13, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm putting them here because I'm not sure if they belong in the article or not. If you think they do, please do add them. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
