April 2019
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Doug Weller talk 05:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Your latest edit is a lot better
I didn't see until just now. Except for the lack of page numbers, that's a lot better. My only other comment is that we prefer to use secondary sources as much as possible. This avoids the Wikipedia editor choosing which bits of an author to quote or summarise, which could at times be "cherrypicking" and we expect reliable sources to concentrate on significant parts of their work and hopefully to discuss them.
