Peer Review[edit]

The introduction to Kerameikos Stelai is informative and helpful for the reader. Including the phonetic pronunciation was a good idea for the reader. Be sure to add a picture of Kerameikos Stelai so the page can have something that the eye can be drawn to and so the reader can have an idea of what it looks like. In the styles topic, I think it would be interesting if you could add how Kerameikos Stelai styles changed through different times if you can find information on that. Other than that, it's looking interesting and coming along nicely.

Hi Serena -- I'm not sure what the point of the reference to the Protogeometric period is in the "Styles" section. Why include this, if there are no stelai from this period? Jpaga (talk) 13:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sunni's Comment[edit]

Hi Serena, I think your introductory paragraph is great, and I think your topics for your paragraphs are good too. I do think you need to elaborate more in each of your paragraphs since they aren't really paragraphs right now. You need to include specific examples of stelai from the Kerameikos though since that is what your article should focus on. Pictures too please! You have a great start, but keep working and I'm sure it'll be great!Sunniobrien (talk) 22:42, 14 November 2017 (UTC)Sunni O'Brien[reply]

(More) Comments from Prof. Paga[edit]

Hi Serena - this is a solid start! In addition to the comments from your peer-reviewer and TF, here are a few more suggestions of my own.

  • There are no stelae from the Bronze Age or Protogeometric period in the Kerameikos, so these sections should be removed.
  • In their place, you should add sections on the Classical Period and Hellenistic Period. These are the times when the Kerameikos had lots of carved stelae, so you'll be able to find some good examples. Look in our textbook as well as the reserve books at Swem. For instance, the stele of Dexileos is from the Kerameikos -- your classmate, Robert Tidona, is writing an article specifically about this stele, so it might be helpful to talk to him.
  • Make sure to look for appropriate copyright images. Review the image/media training module and use the CCSearch website.
