1. REVIEW QUESTIONS: Skip (0 open questions confirmed)
2. IDENTITY & ORGANIZATION: The title "Peace of Nicias" is correct and the file is in `treaties/` which is appropriate. The document has a duplicate `# Peace of Nicias` heading (appears twice). That's a content issue to fix.
3. ENRICH FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES: I need to search for additional information about the Peace of Nicias to enrich the document.
Let me also note the document issues:
- Duplicate title heading (# Peace of Nicias appears twice)
- The review questions/answers at the bottom of the document are still there - these are answered questions that should have been applied/removed. But wait, looking at the document, these are `[x]` checked items - they appear to be answered review questions that haven't been cleaned up from the document. Actually, looking at the format, these seem to be inline review annotations in the document itself. I should check if these should be removed after being answered.
Actually, looking at the document structure more carefully - the review questions with `[x]` marks and answers are embedded in the document content. These look like they've been answered but not yet applied/removed. The wrapper says "0 open review questions" so these are all answered. But they're still in the document content. I should clean these up.
Wait, let me re-read the document. The content after the `---` separator at the bottom contains the review Q&A. These are answered review questions embedded in the document. Since they're all checked `[x]`, they should be removed from the document as part of cleanup.
Also, the document has a duplicate `# Peace of Nicias` heading at the top.
Let me search for enrichment information first, then update the document.

1. Fix the duplicate `# Peace of Nicias` heading
2. Remove the answered review Q&A block at the bottom (all are `[x]` checked)
3. Enrich the Terms section with specific details:
- Sparta to return Amphipolis to Athens
- Athens to release prisoners from Pylos/Sphacteria (292 prisoners, at least 120 Spartiates)
- Free access to common shrines/temples throughout Greece
- Delphic oracle to regain autonomy
- Disputes settled by arbitration
4. Add context about the negotiators (Nicias for Athens, Pleistoanax for Sparta)
5. Add more detail about why the peace failed - Sparta couldn't enforce return of Amphipolis
6. Note the treaty was signed in March 421 BCE
The document also mentions "effectively ~6 years" but historyofwar.org says "broken after only a year and a half." The worldhistory.org source says "delivered only eight." The peace nominally lasted until the Sicilian Expedition (415-413 BCE), which is about 6 years. But fighting resumed more quickly in some areas. I'll keep "effectively ~6 years" as that refers to the Sicilian Expedition ending it.
Let me write the improved document. I'll:
1. Remove the duplicate title
2. Enrich the Terms section with specific terms
3. Add a Negotiators section or note
4. Add more detail to the Failure section about Amphipolis
5. Remove the answered review Q&A block
6. Add proper temporal tags and citations
Here's my plan for the updated document:

# Peace of Nicias
## Overview
The Peace of Nicias (421 BCE) was a treaty intended to end the first phase of the Peloponnesian War (the Archidamian War) between Athens and Sparta. Signed in March 421 BCE, it was supposed to last 50 years but effectively collapsed within a few years. @t[=421 BCE]
## Key Facts
- Date: March 421 BCE @t[=421 BCE]
- Parties: Athens and Sparta (and their respective allies)
- Negotiators: Nicias (Athens) and King Pleistoanax (Sparta) [^3]
- Context: Ended the Archidamian War (431–421 BCE), first phase of the Peloponnesian War @t[431 BCE..421 BCE]
- Duration: Nominally 50 years; effectively ~6 years
## Terms
The treaty's specific provisions, recorded by Thucydides (5.18–19), included: [^1]
- Sparta to return Amphipolis to Athens
- Athens to release the 292 prisoners captured at Pylos and Sphacteria (425 BCE), including at least 120 Spartiates @t[=425 BCE]
- Mutual non-aggression for 50 years
- Disputes to be settled by arbitration
- Temples and sanctuaries throughout Greece to be open to worshippers from all cities
- The oracle at Delphi to regain its autonomy
## Failure
- Key Spartan allies (Corinth, Boeotia) refused to sign
- Neither side fully implemented the terms; Sparta failed to deliver Amphipolis, which remained under local control
- Alcibiades undermined the peace by forming an anti-Spartan alliance (the Quadruple Alliance with Argos, Elis, and Mantinea, 420 BCE) @t[=420 BCE] [^2]
- The Battle of Mantinea (418 BCE) further destabilized the settlement @t[=418 BCE]
- The Sicilian Expedition (415–413 BCE) effectively ended any pretense of peace @t[415 BCE..413 BCE] [^2]
