Needs sources

Maria Elena Buszek needs wikification and an indication of notability; a list of publications by the author should almost never be included in such articles. ResMar 23:30, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article has now been deleted. In addition to the notability concerns, both the current version and the draft version from 2009 have copyright issues, from here and here. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 22:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kansas project

Hi, I've been noticing your edits on my watchlist. Good luck with the project! Experience with similar projects shows that the commonest mistake student assignments make is to completely replace the existing text. This is sometimes a good idea, but often not. Afterwards, where there are both gains and losses in the new version, if someone can be bothered to meld together the old and new then an expanded and improved article can result, rather inefficiently, otherwise they may just revert to the old version. Please caution your group against doing complete replacements.

Several articles your group have picked are (on a quick look) pretty well-developed and well-written, often by editors who know a lot more about the subject-area than your students will. The referencing is often not great, as several are old, from before current referencing expectations developed. Beyond adding references, durable (ie not reverted) improvements will be a lot easier for your group to achieve on shorter and poorer articles, or when starting a completely new article. Generally, Wikipedia is stronger in articles on discrete subjects, like the individual works your group have chosen, but weaker on topical subjects. For example, one person has chosen Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, an Akkadian relief. The article is reasonably detailed, though lacking inline refs, and clearly written by a native French-speaker. The English could do with adjustment, but I'd suggest that the student may find it hard to add very significantly on the object itself, or improve the basic quality of the analysis. On the other hand, we have no general article on Akkadian art, nor even a section in Akkadian Empire. We don't even have anything on the much better known Assyrian palace reliefs as a topic, despite very abundant sources. Very many major topics on the art of the ancient Near/Middle East are missing completely, and basic articles on these would be a greater benefit to Wikipedia than articles on specific objects (imo anyway), and easier for the group to source than improving object articles than already have the main points.

Despite it being an art history course, one student has chosen Amarna period, a historical article, not Amarna art. The latter is unreferenced, but reasonably well-developed, & of decent quality. Another has put Seated Scribe, which probably means The Seated Scribe (Louvre, though there are others). Johnbod (talk) 18:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Greetings from Kansas City, Missouri! Thank you for the feedback. I greatly appreciate it. I will warn my students about not replacing the existing text. Since they are beginners, I have made it clear that our goal for this assignment is not to write a new article from scratch. Rather, we are adding sources and filling in info (maybe a paragraph or two each). That's why I found stub and start class articles for them. My hope is that they will be inspired to learn more and later maybe fill in some of those significant gaps you have identified. We will be sure to let you know if we have questions or need advice along the way. Thanks again! Prosekc (talk) 01:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough - I hadn't seen that bit. Most of the articles you picked should have 1-2 para gaps certainly. Happy to help if needed. Johnbod (talk) 03:46, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again! You gave me a great idea for next time. Maybe I could have them write articles from scratch in groups by having each student tackle one section. Prosekc (talk) 13:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
