[edit]Hi Daisy, I've removed the text you added at the beginning of the Twice exceptional entry. If you make changes & additions to the entry, please make sure to work them into the existing text structure.--TempusTacet (talk) 20:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello TempusTacet, I see that you have removed the three additions (noted below) I made to the article Twice exceptional. I would appreciate some guidance on where exactly I can find the existing text structure guidelines. I am unsure if you are refering to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting or to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Contents. Please advise. Thank you, GiftedDaisy

- Hi Daisy, I removed them simply because you had added them to the very top of the article, so that it now started with the definition "Twice-exceptional, also known as 2e, is a term used to describe a student ..." followed by a very long verbatim quote, only to then kind of re-start with "The term twice exceptional, often abbreviated as 2e, entered educators' lexicons in the mid-1990s and refers to gifted students ..." followed by the current article.
- Instead of adding a second definition and a very long quote at the top, I suggest you adapt the current definition if you feel that's necessary and then edit the article using the Reis et al. paper as a source where you feel it's missing something or there's an inaccuracy.
- I don't think you have to follow a particular style guide here. Rather, aim to stay within or evolve the current text structure instead of adding large amounts of text at the top that don't connect with the remaining text.--TempusTacet (talk) 16:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
