Talk:Salerno Ivories

Untitled
Feedback from Prof Mc: I agree, it's amazing that these pieces didn't already have a page, and I'm impressed by the progress you've made in rectifying the situation. Here are a few aspects to consider as you revise: Please touch base with any questions. ALMc
 * some of the categories might be rethought: the carving process section should only stay in if you think it is distinctive to these ivories (otherwise it belongs in a more general entry about ivory carving) but the more important revision is the Depth section's title. The depth of relief is interesting, but my reading of your text is that the subject matter plays an even larger role in the interpretation of the ivories and what you have to recount about them
 * at the top section in which you mention the two names (Salerno and Amalfi) you might want to briefly recap the rationale behind both attributions
 * please add a References section and a few images. You can use the references you cite, and I see there are few images of the ivories already in Wikimedia Commons, so it should be relatively easy to pull them over to your page.

It's always nice to get insight on pieces of history that remain in the shadows as far as public awareness goes. Your piece provided a clear and concise discussion on the Salerno Ivories which furthered my understanding of different elements that play into how they are developed and intentionally viewed. Your inclusion of the carving process is beneficial and I think it would compliment your piece more if it were placed more in the beginning of your work. I also hadn't been aware that the Ivories had a certain intended arrangement in which its organization has been lost. I think it's important to include what is still unknown as you've made evident on your page. I was wondering if you were going to include any images. For people who are not entirely familiar with ivories and architecture in general, this would be of benefit. With this, I would include links to the terms 'cornices' and 'colonettes' if their pages are available. Also, one statement that felt slightly broad was "The plaques are currently housed in various museum collections". If you have any of references or links to specific curations that would help solidify the statement. Lastly, I would just make sure you put the citation after the period for format. This was a great read and I hope to see this information included on the site.

Cheers,

Miriam

Salerno Ivory Peer Edit
Hi Madison, I really enjoyed reading your article on the Salerno Ivories. I think that your draft has a really solid start, there were some small grammatical errors with possessive apostrophe, but other than that I thought you had a good start on the subject. I would probably go back and specify some of the religious purposes you mentioned about the ivory because I think it is important to get an idea of what these ivories could be used for even if it hasn't been proven as facts. Great work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nhatquyennguyen (talk • contribs) 22:07, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
