Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Pytheas, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:04, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

This is one of the trickiest bits of Wikipedia for new editors so I suggest reading the links carefully. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 10:23, 5 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Doug, Thank you for the heads up. I will go ahead and add the appropriate citations for the additions I made to the Pytheas page.  I will keep this in mind for future additions. Ticklingtentacles123 (talk) 22:06, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Rawlinson is really too old
Could you use this source instead? And please don't link to Worldcat, follow the great instructions at Help:Referencing for beginners and don't forget to add page numbers. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 10:07, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

You made to great a change in de Camp's text by naming the trade goods, which he didn't do. As the text itself was almost the same as de Camp's and thus a copyright violation, I changed it into a quote. Doug Weller talk 10:23, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
