Suggestion

Hi Sarah!

This is looking really good, I am so jealous that you can use so many images because tablets from thousands of years ago are certainly "public domain" haha, has been a problem for me with late modern history. Anyway, a small suggestion is that in your first sentence "Archives, as a place where records are stored and preserved, have existed for about as long as writing has existed." I feel that the commas are not necessary. The "has existed" at the very end may also be unnecessary. These are obviously tiny things and I could be wrong, just something that stuck out. Also, my possibly more useful suggestion is to include a "See Also" sections with links to wikis such as the medieval history one or something. I find it is a nice addition and linking most of the history wikis makes sense in my opinion. You can copy my, or anyone else's, code for the section if you have any trouble. Anyway, fantastic page and look forward to seeing more!

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,

How about we compromise and I keep my commas but get rid of the second "existed" at the end of the sentence? I agree, it is redundant. My intention for that sentence is to define archives in a separate clause within the sentence, separating it with commas. It is just my personal style of writing.

I will definitely add a "See Also" section. I am not sure about the code but I will look it up as you suggested.

Thanks,

Sarah
