Final Suggestions

Final Suggestions

Hi Maggie! Some final suggestions and comments...

  • first sentence: I think you're missing a comma after "repositories"
  • As per below, I agree with the comment that as long as you establish the scope of your wiki in the introduction, and give reasons why you thought what sections you chose were important, you're good to go
  • I like how you linked to pages "See Also" right underneath the heading; i think that works very well instead of diving right into subjects that are already covered by other wikis
  • You might not even need the "Types of" in "Types of Medieval Archival Institutions" , or, since you say there are generally only religious/secular, maybe you could tweak your title: "Medieval Archival Institutions: Religious and Secular" or something alongside those lines. But this is up to you!
  • What is an "Archival Tradition?" maybe a sentence or two under "Archival Traditions by Region" to introduce your subject and establish the scope of this section may make things clearer.
  • Nice pictures!
  • I'll copy my rave here about references:

Christie gave me a big tip about referencing I wanted to share with you. My page was beginning to get very long because of all the "Ibid"s, and I figured out how to use sub-references so it goes [1 ] [1. 1] [1.2 ]...etc, and you can use them everywhere on your wiki where you repeat your references, and there is only one line down at the bottom. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners under "Same references used more than once".

  • Overall, I think the general layout of your page is looking very clean and tidy; very easy to read. Good job!

Hello Jessica,

Thank you for the grammatical corrections and the suggestion of renaming the "Institutions" section. I'll look into making sub-references if I have time tomorrow morning, though I don't use the same page as often as others have so I may not do it in the end.

Thanks for pointing it out as a possibility though! (I spent a bit of time last week trying to figure out if I could do columned references to no avail.)
