Description
[edit]Great description of the art in the home. Is there any way you can load of up pictures of the art? Maybe you can also find some sort of diagram or desscription of the layout of the villa. ATurk 05:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Good organization and flow; a lot of relevant information. Read over it one more time to fix some awkward sentences and typographical errors (especially foreign names; and I think you left off the 's' at the end of "Cyprus"), and I think you could be more specific about the descriptions of Roman art -- what are some examples of ways they add more splendor to Greek art?
Consider adding double brackets around important terms such as Second Style (if it's on wikipedia), Hellenism, Classicism (in art, that is), names, and art terms to link those words to existing wikipedia articles. This will allow your article to remain concise instead of defining those important terms. Here's a link to a wikipedia page that further describes how you can add those links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial_%28Wikipedia_links%29
Lastly, I would really like to see some citations, and I think your article needs them to stay on wikipedia. It's not too complicated a process -- at least for footnotes, which I personally find the least obtrusive to reading the text. Here's a page that shows a few different options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_cite_sources
Besides that, I agree with Anita in that I would like to see a picture or two. Do you have any pictures of the artwork or a map of the villa? If you need help with uploading and embedding images, Anita or I can help you.
But basically, I think you mostly need to read it over one more time really carefully. Good job!
