Review within the Wikipedia Primary School project

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi all. A few weeks ago Prof. Sven Ouzman (University of Western Australia) agreed to review a couple of articles within the scope of the project linked above. You can find his notes in a PDF uploaded to Commons. We'd like to thank Prof. Ouzman for his work and for his helpful notes. We'd like to invite everybody to feel free to reuse the review to improve the article and/or to comment it here. (We are considering a different review structure for the future and we will provide more formats to make copy/paste easier for editors, for example. We appreciate your understanding in this experimental phase!) Best, --Elitre (WPS) (talk) 00:01, 20 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

The curator of the collection, Sian Tiley-Nel, submitted an entirely new version of the article. Though it still needs a bit of improvement (better wikification, better sourcing in-text, and a few vaguely pov statements to rephrase or source), it is a huge improvement over the previous version of the text. As such, I uploaded the text and the images proposed (removed some as well), created a commons category, and did a light copyediting of the text proposed. Help welcome.

I however noted that some of the points raised by previous reviewer were not addressed in the new version. I will try to see how it can be addressed. Anthere (talk) 22:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Name of the article

Apparently (according to its curator), the correct name of this place is Mapungubwe Collection rather than Mapungubwe Museum. I looked on Google for the most widely used terminology (at least on the Internet) and outcome is not so obvious. As such, I suggest moving the article to Collection. Is there any opposition or arguments against ? Thanks Anthere (talk) 21:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
