Talk:Rusticated concrete block

Feedback
You are off to a good start on your rusticated concrete block article, especially considering you had very little to build off of. It is good that you included links to other articles. I would suggest looking at other Wikipedia articles for ideas on how to lay out the sections of your article. You could possibly have a brief introduction/definition, history/development, construction methods, and a use section that includes two subsections for historic and current use. I would also avoid using past tense when talking about what rusticated concrete block is, though it is fine to use past tense when describing the history and historical uses of the project.

Instructor comments
This is a good historical overview, but I would suggest adding (1) more information about block-making machinery such as the Sears catalog available via the Building Technology Heritage Library, (2) patents if available, and (3) an explanation of the critical differences between RCB and CMU, which might require edits to both articles. (Your notes about adding links *from* other articles are duly noted and appreciated.) Finally, please copy edit for issues such as Its (possessive) versus It's (contraction) before moving your edits to Wikipedia mainspace. Elizabeth Linden Rahway (talk) 05:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
