It is good to see the interest in expanding the Epicurus page that you are showing, but there are some guidelines that should be kept in mind. In the case of translated work it is good to have variant translations, with sources noted if possible, but much of the additions that you have made appear to be commentary, and while this is allowed it is generally best to keep it to a minimum that provides some context. More extensive discussions about meaning and interpretation should be restricted to the talk pages, or if one is quoting others a section for "Quotes of others about Epicurus" could be made. ~ Achilles 12:14, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
