General

I attempt to write an introduction that attempt to the origin of astrology, your initial proeminency and, after, your fall in descredit. It is necessary still write mor about astrology itself, your structure and different branches. --L'Astorina 13:26, 02 October 2007 (CST)

Hi Astorina, I've fixed some but not all of the language problems with the article. I take it, that English is not your native language?
In many places, the wording and sentence structure are not clear. If you are still active on this article, leave me a note here, and I will suggest more extensive changes and development of the article. James Davis 20:29, 29 October 2007 (CDT)

Note: A month having passed since my inquiry above, and having had no word from Astorina, I've done a complete rewrite of the article. I had hoped to seek some clarification of the obscure language in the original version so that I could build on it rather than rewrite. But Astornai did not respond so I've made a fresh start.

Comment: A most commendable job there James Davis! John Charles Webb, Jr. 16:14, 13 November 2007 (CST)

Sorry for my so long absense. Yes, my native language is not english, but portuguese, and sometimes i y build some confusing sentenses, sorry about that. But i think the new article is really better: it contains all main ideas of the old one, plus some new ideas and many external references. L'Astorina 17:26, 20 November 2007 (CST)
