Welcome!

Hello, Kcsf4c, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Before raising issues of copy-pasting

Please familiarise yourself with the concept of Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks. The website you mention in your edit has copied the text from the Achilleion article as it is a mirror article of the local article here. I see also that you are a member of an educational assignment class. Over the past few days, another member of your class has attempted to add a low-quality image to the article. Today you added a large-size image of empress Elisabeth which clashes with the rest of the layout of the article and you also added an extraneous ref tag which broke the ref syntax of the article. Further, you also used the mirror article as a reference to introduce details to the local article while making an allegation of copy-pasting in your edit-summary. The mirror website is not a reliable source and as a mirror it cannot be used to add information to the local article. Naturally, no copy-pasting occurred so your edit-summary was misguided. Please be more careful with your edits. Thank you. Dr. K. 03:57, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Parallels between Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey]]

Parallels between Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey looks fine to me after I made some additions, but you should look at what is happening now. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:35, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Peer Review: Parallels between Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey

This was a really interesting choice for a Wikipedia article. This has so much to point out, and you hit on a lot of great parallels. I also like how you split up your discussion into a few sections of comparison to the Odyssey and then a few for the Iliad. That's really clear to readers and allows you to clearly point out specific similarities between the epics. There's a couple things, though, that I think could greatly improve your article. In the "Absences of Heroes" section, it seems like there are some citation issues, and the explanation you gave of the similarities between Hector/Turnus and Achilles/Aeneas are a little confusing and messy. Under the "Prophesies" section, it might be helpful to cite some specific reminders that Aeneas receives of his fate to found the Latins. I also have three other suggestions for parallels that you didn't specifically include in your article. One is for the Odyssey. You mention the hardships of both Odysseus and Aeneas as caused by the wrath of gods. You may also mention the favor that both heroes have from specific gods. Another parallel (for the Iliad) is the games scenes included in both this epic and the Aeneid. You might also wish to talk about the role of the gods in the lives of humans in general (something we've spent a lot of time talking about in class). Overall, it's a pretty cool article, though!

Comments on article

• The majority of your sources, such as Cliffnotes, are entirely inappropriate *for this assignment* (as opposed to Wikipedia in general) -- as I've said multiple times, you need scholarly sources. The article by Kotin is the only one that's close to marginally acceptable, and even then, it's not actually apropriate, as it's an article by an undergraduate (from the Hirundo website: "The journal is completely authored, edited, and produced by undergraduate students at McGill University").
• You don't need to cite our translations every time you refer to an epic, only when you QUOTE an epic or refer to a SPECIFIC passage, and then you need to cite the specific location.
• Please take account of the suggestions left on the article talk-page by Hannah and the Wikipedia community members.
• link to other students' wikipedia articles where relevant
