Beowulf pages
Hello BronwenKyle,

I'm glad to see your interest in the Beowulf pages. Before making further edits, I would like to suggest that you review Wikipedia policies. One of the most important rules concerns No original research. This means that all edits must be a summary of what someone else has written about on the topic - see Reliable sources. Quoting a translation to support an argument made by an outside scholar is fine - quoting a translation and then drawing your own conclusion constitutes No original research.

On the other hand, if you can support a claim through outside scholarship on the topic by citing the scholar and the text it came from, and not provide your own interpretation that would not constitute original research. Such edits - that is providing outside scholarship - will certainly enhance the articles. If you have questions regarding Wikipedia policies, please feel free to ask.
