I reverted your additions to Gyges of Lydia, since no WP:RS was cited -- and since this is already covered more carefully at Ring of Gyges. Briefly, we have no good sources indicating that Tolkien was in fact influenced by Plato, and good reason to suspect that other influences were more important. -- Elphion ( talk) 01:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
William Avery. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Camelot, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the
tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at
Camelot, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Hi there. I appreciate your effort to provide a source, and really don't want it to feel like I'm trying to censor the addition of this content--but it's not appropriate to put "not original research" in the text of the article (and simply stating that something is not original research, without citing sources that prove that point, does not address the issue), nor is it appropriate to add a link to another page as a source on the page. The article itself should read like an entry in a print encyclopedia--that is, a simple narrative providing information about the subject. If you want to re-add the content, please feel free to do so with a source citation; if you are unsure how to do so, please reach out for help at the
Teahouse or on the article's Talk page.
