I'm trying to correct an error on page 170 of: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Translation:On_the_Dynamics_of_the_Electron_(July)

However, I can't seem to access the text when I log in and click on ``Edit" which is strange, because I have never had such a problem before in my many Wikipedia edits.

Here's the minor error: The 2nd to last line from the bottom of page 170 of the Wikepedia translation of Poincaré's 1906 Rendiconti del Circulo di Palermo article,• translates ``Nous nous en tiendrons donc à l'hypothèse (A)." as ``We will add this to hypothesis (A)." This is a blatantly wrong translation which completely changes the meaning of what Poincaré intended to convey. I'm a bit shocked how this could have happened. Even "Google Translate" gets it correct, i.e. it gives a correct translation from the French origina! The correct translation of   ``Nous nous en tiendrons donc à l'hypothèse (A)." should be     ``We will therefore stick with hypothesis (A)."

Please help me either by correcting the error or explaining to me how to correct it. Sincerely, Patrick Nemchik
