Happy editing! :Jay8g [V•T•E] 19:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Jay8g, for your kind message. I would appreciate if you could help me.

I worked quite a lot on the article "Naousa (Imathia)" on which there there is a tag "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Article contains significant spelling, grammatical, formatting, and stylistic errors..." Thus I tried to improve it. I added many references (books and academic articles), deleted statements which impossible to verify, deleted parts which had not direct connection with the city.

When I found several similar photographs, I kept only the best of them.

Is that OK to proceed like that? Is the article OK now? If so, am I supposed to delete the tag, or somebody else will do it?

The answer is important because I would like to improve other articles with tags.

Best regards

Thank you WeirdNAnnoyed for your encouraging message. As I would like to create more scientific articles, could you help me please to understand a few things regarding citations?

- All the statements in this article are supported by the scientific publications cited as references. Do I need to repeat a citation several times throughout the article?

- I understood that scientific reviews constitute secondary sources. Is it better to gather them in a separate section entitled "secondary sources"? In this case is it possible to cite them in the text?

- Same question regarding tertiary sources. I suppose that chapters in books or Handbooks may be acceptable. Am I right?

Thank you in advance.
