Suggestion[edit]

The page looks really good, but I feel like the paragraph on irrigation could be shorter. I noticed there is also no cited references in the history section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izannap (talk • contribs) 04:23, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

point of clarification[edit]

"in operation at about 6000 BCE" ... "dated to the late 6th millennium BCE". Those are opposite ends of said millennium; "late" would be approaching 5000. which is it? TheNuszAbides (talk) 23:22, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

I have a suggested point of clarification. The section on Ceramics makes it sound like the Samarran culture is separate, but the overview states that Choga Mami is a Samarran settlement. Perhaps you could clarify that point. The "History" section also seems thin. Is there any other information that could be added? If not, it might help to pull some information from the Overview and move it into the History section. SarahMRedman (talk) 22:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Sarah Redman[reply]

looks great[edit]

i went back and looked at the original page this looks 1000X better great work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiprojectgroup2 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

The page looks great though I do have a suggestion for more pictures, possibly pictures of the excavation site if there are any. Also a point of clarification, does only finding the remains make the site seem like a settlement was the site of a town or does the collection of foundations also indicate that it could be a town? Also a small misspelling of site in the archaeology section instead of cite. -Martinhawk —Preceding undated comment added 00:57, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

Impressive. That's all there is to say comparing the earliest version of this page and what this group has contributed. The information you provided truly brought life to a formerly pathetic page. No one section is too long, citations and references are in line, and I was thinking, perhaps include a section for external links? Also there's no pictures besides the map. But that could be because there are no pictures to find? Dvchicago (talk) 04:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC) Dvchicago[reply]

suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This page looks a lot better than what it did before it was added to, I think the map really helps. Adding actual contents; the History, Archaeology, Architecture, and Ceramics/Pottery really made this page look more complete. Hawkeye2020 (talk) 04:30, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nov. 29, 2017[edit]

It's great to see the progress on this page, and I definitely think some great improvements have been made. I particularly like that a bibliographic list has been added at the end for readers who would like to continue to learn about Choga Mami on their own.

One suggestion: although the introduction and sections 2-4 have pretty good citations and sources, the "History" section doesn't seem to have the same dedication. I noticed that there are two parenthetical citations (which are out of place considering the rest of the citations are footnoted), but a good amount of the irrigation information at least has no supporting sources.
