Antikythera mechanism[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your message. I'll explain further the problem with what you are adding to this article, so you might better understand.
You sourced your addition with a cite to "M. TVLLI CICERONIS DE RE PVBLICA LIBER PRIMVS". This does not discuss the Antikythera mechanism in any way. But by including it in the article you are suggesting that what it discusses has significance to the Antikythera mechanism. This may be true, or may not be, but either way you cannot be the one to suggest this. You need a reliable source that does it. So what you need is a reliable source that discusses "M. TVLLI CICERONIS DE RE PVBLICA LIBER PRIMVS", in relation to the Antikythera mechanism. Otherwise what you are doing is original research in combining the two.
So your original research may be excellent, and perfectly valid, but Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, cannot be the one to publish it.
Otherwise, let me assure you I do not own this article and am not removing your content just because I don't like it. If you can find a source that discusses "M. TVLLI CICERONIS DE RE PVBLICA LIBER PRIMVS", in relation to the Antikythera mechanism then I urge you to cite it.
Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you need help. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:56, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
