Talk:Church of St. Nicholas of the Roof

Feedback from Prof Mc: Overall your draft has some important strengths, particularly in the clear and sensible way you have organized the information. The main challenge ahead is incorporating peer-reviewed sources, because currently there are none (email me if having a research strategy session would be helpful. On the level of details and fine-tuning, here are a few other points to consider:
 * links to other Wikipedia entries are needed throughout. For example, in the first sentence, the following words need links: Byzantine, Kakopetris, and Cyprus
 * a minor mechanical issue is getting the hyphenation right for phrases such as 11th century, here are tips: http://grammarist.com/usage/centuries/
 * Overall you're phrasing is nice and clear, but a few spots could use some fine-tuning, such as the sentence w "remained unknown" might be reworded to something like"is not mentioned until the 13th century in surviving texts"
 * dates of Frankish rule need checking
 * in the History section: first sentence needs rephrasing, reorder the sequence of the info into a more logical flow, and should some of the Kakopetria info be in the village's entry instead (doesn't sound specific to the church).
 * the Notes are not needed, a key feature of a Wikipedia entry is that you'd link to the entries for the terms that someone might not know.
 * for the Interior Dec section: this part has a good overview of the frescoes, but it could be expanded. Why are they the most notable 11th-cent. frescoes? Who says this anyway? (this section, as all the others, very much needs citations for the source of the information)

Review
Hello,

The lead I found gives an adequate introduction to the topic of the page - and gives a short overview of the use, time frame, location and current status of the monastery. It seems to the point and concise and was a great jumping point. In the history area, I thought that perhaps if there is information, who might have had the monastery built or what people/person had a hand in it. It could be helpful to mention if it was the only monastery in the surrounding area, just a little more historical information, to me, would be useful. In the areas describing the Architecture and its overall description, there wasn't a size given and could be a good useful addition. There is a grammatical error in the Interior Decoration area. The line "first phase of decoration is begin in the 11th century". Overall your page keeps a neutral tone and nothing seems to take one side over another on some information. You gave excellent descriptions of the artwork and where they are located. You have two images on the page but I think if one is available to be used, an image of the monastery would be helpful as well. I hope this was helpful! best of luck on the final draft. --GodzillaPDX (talk) 02:57, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
