 * Getting started
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * From the nature of your edits to the article, I assume you're the same editor as user:182.73.158.70 since the content is the same and only differs in paragraph break locations. I have a few problems with your changes:
 * You remove wikilinks from the lede section.
 * The quality of the writing is poor. I made it half way through your edit and gave up. These are some of the points, but if I went all the way through could probably double the list.
 * "there is a old banker". Should be "an old".
 * "In the party there was also a young lawyer who was when asked about his opinion in the topic said that capital punishment occured to him not above life time imprisonment but if he is given choice between sentence to life and capital punishment he would surely go for sentence to life." The sentence is too long, is missing punctuation and has at least one spelling error: "occured" rather than "occurred".
 * "accepted bankers offer" that would be "banker's offer".
 * "for 5 years but for fifteen years" WP:MOSNUM don't mix numerals with prose when in close proximity. Spell them both out or use numerals for both.
 * "interaction with outer world" should be "outside world" as is stated in the story.
 * Duplication of material: "He was allowed to have a musical instrument and books, and was allowed to write letters, to drink wine, and to smoke" and then later "He might have anything he wanted - books, music, wine, and so on - in any quantity he desired"
 * Excessive detail. What was stated in a short paragraph you've turned into a paragraph three times the length. There's no need to detail what transpires year-by-year
 * Poor logic. The story reads "The guests, among them not a few scholars and journalists, for the most part disapproved of capital punishment." You've turned that into "to which majority of the guests present". Nowhere does the statement made indicate that the quantity of the quests to approved or disapproved of capital punishment, only that they disapproved of it "for the most part". If you're using a different translation, that may be a different issue. What it does state is, "Some of them thought that capital punishment should be replaced universally by life-imprisonment."
 * Incorrect detail where needed. You wrote, "the Banker was afraid as at that time he was not that rich" when in actuality, he had lost his fortune and paying the bet would bankrupt him. Your wording makes it seem as though he never had the funds in the first place.
 * I have reverted it again. If this is for some sort of a school assignment, please go back and edit your material and take another try. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:43, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
