Welcome! edit
Hello, Jlsnow, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Article moved to userspace edit
Hi! I received a notice that the page was moved back to your userspace. Offhand I agree with the choice to move the article as it had several issues. The first is that the article tends to focus on the history of Brasidas more than the grave itself, to the point where it could be considered redundant information to the main article. Another issue is that of sourcing, as it's hard to tell what is what with how the sourcing is cited. Something to also take into consideration is that some of the sourcing doesn't actually back up the claims in the article. For example, you state that the ossuary is located in a specific museum, but only provide a general link to information about the museum. This shows that the museum exists, but doesn't give us any information about whether or not the museum holds the item. A better source for this would be something like a specific entry for the piece at the museum.
Also be careful of original research. You have some sourcing that doesn't mention Brasidas and since there's no guarantee that the grave is him, saying things like the wreath being representative of his victories would be considered conclusions you drew on your own. We can really only include things that have been explicitly stated by an authoritative source. I'm going to go through and give this a quick cleanup for you as far as the burial section goes.
