Hello, I'm Jc3s5h. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Aries (astrology), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jc3s5h (talk) 20:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jc3s5h, the reason I had said the 19th and not the 21st is because coming from an Arien , I found that to be incorrect. I hope we can be conclude that this was indeed a mistake ChimChim76 (talk) 20:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)


 * For a detailed discussion, see Talk:Zodiac/Archive 3. The date the Sun leaves the sign of Aries and enters the sign of Taurus varies a little form year to year, and it also depends on what time zone you're in. To come up with an average date, different writers could go about it a little differently. The verifiability policy requires that we cite a reliable source to back up information. Wikipedia editors are not reliable sources so "coming from an Arien" carries no weight.
 * The article does cite a reliable source. In the statement
 * "Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this sign from approximately March 20 to April 21 each year.[2]"


 * the [2] indicates you should refer to footnote 2, which states
 * "Oxford n.d., s.v. Aries and Taurus."


 * This means you should look in the bibliography for the source named Oxford, which does not have a publication date (that's what n.d. means). When you look there you find this entry:


 * When you click on the link you find yourself at the entry for Arian. But you should look at the entry for Taurus; the second definition for this states
 * When you click on the link you find yourself at the entry for Arian. But you should look at the entry for Taurus; the second definition for this states

"Astrology The second sign of the zodiac, which the sun enters on about 21 April."


 * Of course, it would be extremely rare for the Sun to move from Aries to Taurus exactly at midnight between 20 and 21 April, so this statement must be interpreted to mean that on average, the Sun spends part of 21 April in Aries and part of the day in Taurus.
