Talk:many hands make light work

Is this the kind of citation you want?

I went to the page I'm supposed to read before making a citation page (Wiktionary:Citations) but I don't think I have the time to study and understand it. A link to an example citation page would have helped enormously. I have a citation to a very early version of "Many hands make light work." I'm not sure it is what Wiktionary wants, so if you do know and can use it, this is what I have:

"There should be an only son, to feed his father's house, for so wealth will increase in the home; but if you leave a second son you should die old. Yet Zeus can easily give great wealth to a greater number. More hands mean more work and more increase." —Hesiod, Works and Days[1] (ll. 376-380) Tr. by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (1914).

Or maybe this belongs on Wikiquote? Sorry if this doesn't help! —--Blanchette (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

It's a nice citation, but if it doesn't use the exact phrase "many hands make light work" then it doesn't support this entry. Equinox ◑ 21:07, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
