I will be reviewing this page over the next few days. From my brief overview, it looks like some copy editing may be needed. I would encourage interested editors to comb through the text and fix any grammatical errors and make sure that the paragraphs are not needlessly too long and center around a topic sentence. I will be looking at these things in my review.-- Tea with toast  (talk)  22:15, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Problems needing to be addressed
Great work with the article thus far! I have enjoyed reading it. However, there are several details that need to be attended to before I can pass this article. I will place this article "on hold" and allow a week or so for these changes to be made. Happy editing! -- Tea with toast  (talk)  15:35, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Quotations
As per Wikipedia guidelines: "Attribution should be provided in the text of the article, not exclusively in a footnote or citation. A reader should not have to follow a footnote to learn whose words a quote is."

Quotations given in the "Sotic logic" and "Stoic physics and cosmology" do not give proper attribute in the text (though I am glad to see that they have proper footnotes). See the quote given in the "Spiritual exercise" subsection – it uses proper attribution. Please change the other quotations to be in a similar fashion.

Spiritual Exercises
The section on spiritual exercises makes no mention of Epictetus but only Marcus Aurelius but the core ideas of the Meditations can be found in Epictetus. Any comments from editors? Oxford73 (talk) 05:38, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
