Copyediting comment
[edit]Hi TheCajunPhoenix,
This isn't a huge deal, but I figured I'd let you know since you're a newish editor - from these changes, in general, don't mess with punctuation in quotations. You changed the punctuation in the quote from 2 Maccabees, but this was sourced to a specific translation. It's okay if you're quoting in-line and changing a closing period to a comma or the like because the sentence continues, but that's the exception, not the rule.
Less important but some of your changes also changed the sense of the sentence in a bad way. It's true that Polybius is "one of the highest-quality sources of the time period", but he's also the highest-quality source on it as well. i.e. there wasn't some later Roman historian 200 years later who provided even better information. The "on" is the more relevant part, IMO. SnowFire (talk) 18:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
