Cicero's Letters to friends
Hi. I noticed the work you've been doing to fill out Cicero's Epistulae ad Familiares. Are the translations that you're submitting your own? Prosody (talk) 05:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm pretty unfamiliar with wikis, so I have no clue whether my reply should go here. But yes, the translations are my own. I noticed that the entire ad fam. collection has "translated by Evelyn Shuckburgh" at the top, all of whose translations are up on Perseus. I try to stay closer to the Latin, while trying to avoid sounding awkward in English. Assuming you actually get this message, is it fine to put up my own translations?


 * It's perfectly fine. Letters to friends is apparently Shuckburgh's translation, although it's not complete, and when you added some of your own there another editor assumed that you were adding more of Shuckburgh's. I've moved your work to Translation:Letters to Friends. Thanks for your contributions. Prosody (talk) 03:08, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, and for moving the translations there.
