Talk:Greek heroa

Peer review: -I think it will be important to link the original heroon page through using the wikipedia hyperlink function. -Also, formatting will be important to making this article ready to be published, even though that can probably be done in the future. -Some small grammar needs to be tweaked, for instance under the paragraph "Olympian Heroon" you can change "it was established at around" to simply "it was established "around." I will spend the next few days/weeks looking over the article to see if there are any other changes like that. -Other than that, I am really impressed already with the level of detail in the article and the depth of information you have. Also, already having a good bibliography and a linked picture are really good!

Sunni's Comment
Hi Scott, first please try and format your page better and add in citations! I think that your topic paragraphs look great though! It would be great if you could find some examples of specific Greek Heroa, and maybe compare the Olympian Heroon with another one. This is a great start, but you could expand each of your paragraphs a little bit more. Keep doing good work! Sunniobrien (talk) 22:37, 14 November 2017 (UTC)Sunni O'Brien

Hi Scott - this is a good start to your article! In addition to my prior comments, you now have some good suggestions from your peer-reviewer and TF, which I encourage you to address. Here are a couple more of my own suggestions too. Jpaga (talk) 17:51, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Make sure to include hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles (especially the one that already exists about Heroa).
 * The image you currently have is of a Roman heroon, so you'll want to remove that and replace it with a Greek example.
 * Make sure to add citations to scholarly work throughout your article! This is really important for Wikipedia and without these citations, your article will likely be deleted.
 * In the first sentence, you refer to heroa as being a "cult tomb." There is no such thing - it is either a cult or a tomb, or a tomb with an associated cult.
 * In this same paragraph, you refer to the deceased as being a "war hero," but this was not always the case. Later, you simply refer to the deceased as a "hero" and this is more appropriate.
 * Make sure to proofread carefully.
 * Since your group's theme is Death in Ancient Greek Art, you'll want to emphasize this aspect of it. Consider adding a section about rituals or cult activity at heroa sites.
