Welcome!
Hello, Donpalmtree, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review Question
Hi, you informed me that you've completed a peer review for the article that I am editing, but I can't seem to find it. Where exactly did you leave the review? Preciousg11 (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review
Hello. Sorry we had some miscommunication and a delay in this process but I hope neither of us was set back too far. I find the topic you chose a really fascinating area of philosophy.

So you edits were overall a really great addition to the original page. I think it would be beneficial however to remove some of the colorful languages that distract from the content of the text. For example “Epicureans shunned politics” - I think it would be better to say they refused to participate and why. I see you say because politics “could lead to frustrations and ambitions” but why. How does politics lead to that misfortune for Epicureans? I also think in terms of peace of mind and virtues, you could explain a bit more on what you mean and how virtues play a role for Epicureans ( is it similar to Aristotle’s “virtue ethics”?} Another thing to consider is that while looking over the page in general, the philosophy of what Epicureans believe is a little far down the page. I realize that the table of contents has a link to bring you right to it but I still think that since that is the goal of the page to tell you who these people were and what they believed, a lot of time is spent on history but much less so on the philosophy. Great start and I look forward to reading more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottsdalePrincess (talk • contribs) 19:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
