Editorial corrections
Corrections which bring the text on Wikisource closer to the original publication are encouraged, however "editorial corrections" which move the text away from the form of the original are not. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:46, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

If you think having errors like (1) "Of all this the d is prudence", (2) "It is, however, by measuring one against another, and by looking at the conveniences and inconveniences, teat all these matters must be judged.", (3) "Again, we regard. independence of outward things as a great good..." a better idea, please go ahead and revert my changes. --Areteichi 22:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * It is not my opinion that matters. The community has chosen to preserve texts as published. If there is a transcription error, not present in the original, we correct it. If the error was in the original, we keep it. We do not editorialize based on what we think it ought to say, but present the original text, as published. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * And you can see why we have moved to having side by side proofreading to images, it takes away this argument. If you can cite the source for a correction rather than just make edits, that is helpful. — billinghurst  sDrewth  04:07, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
