 Hello and Welcome to Wikiversity Nafindix! You can contact us with questions at the colloquium or me personally when you need help.

To get started, you may


 * Take a guided tour and learn to edit.
 * Visit a (kind of) random project.
 * Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education.
 * Find out about research activities on Wikiversity.
 * Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left.


 * Enable VisualEditor under Beta settings to make article editing easier.

 * Chat with other Wikiversitans on #wikiversity.

You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Quotes from Cicero
Thanks for your recent contributions. Please note that any content like these quotes from Cicero need to have sources referenced. Please revise these pages to include where the content has been copied from. Also, Wikiversity tries not to duplicate other Wikimedia projects. Published quotes like this might be better at. Let us know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:27, 12 August 2021 (UTC)


 * The following is what I added to the article.
 * "All translations are the original work of Gus Wiseman (Nafindix). The public domain sources of the Latin quotes are:
 * Loeb Classical Library, Harvard University Press, vol. XX, 1923; Latin text with facing English translation by William Armistead Falconer.
 * ed. E. S. Shuckburgh, M. Tulli Ciceronis: Cato Maior de Senectute. London: Macmillan Co., 1895."
 * The first sentence seems unusual in a work like this, especially since anybody is free to contribute to it, but it is my answer to Dave Braunschweig, who assumed that I had copied the translations from somewhere else, and/or that they had already been published, which is false.
 * To the older Philippics article I added the following.
 * "All translations are the original work of Gus Wiseman (Nafindix). The public domain sources of the Latin quotes are:
 * Loeb Classical Library, Harvard University Press, vol. XV, 1926; Philippics / Cicero ; with an English translation by Walter C.A. Ker.
 * M. TVLLI CICERONIS IN M. ANTONIVM ORATIO PHILIPPICA, https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/cicero/phil.shtml. From C.F. Mueller, M.Tulli Ciceronis, Orationes selectae, XXI (Teubner, Lipsia, 1907-09)."

 * I made no assumptions. The point of these resources is translating someone else's work. By definition, whatever you are translating must come from somewhere and therefore must be referenced. Your contributions are welcome, but going forward, please focus your comments on content rather than the motivations of other editors. Assume good faith. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:23, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Categories
Hello Nafindix. I wanted to encourage you to add categories to your pages. This is so people can find your content a lot easier and this prevents Wikiversity from having 'loner pages' - pages that are floating around the Wiki mainspace without any sort of organization going on. I've added Category:Quotes to a lot of your pages - but you're free to add more categories as I'm sure there are other categories that your pages fit into.
