Talk:Tenta, Cyprus

Lead section
Dear Wikipedians, I added a few sentences in the lead section because there was an inadequate amount of information about Tenta.Cstylus (talk) 07:24, 22 March 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cstylus (talk • contribs) 06:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Comments from A. Parrot
Hello,. You asked me for my input on this article, but I don't have that many suggestions. My main one is to make "1947 excavation" and "Vasilikos Valley project" into subsections of a larger section titled "Excavation history" or something similar. The other significant issue is that the anecdote about how the site got its name is the kind of detail that belongs in the body of the article, not the lead section, which, per Lead section, is supposed to be a summary of the body.

 * Hello, A. Parrot. Thank you for your great suggestions, I really appreciate it! I have taken your suggestions on board and have made some edits to reflect them. Also, I was just wondering if you knew anyone that would be able to change my stub article into hopefully a C or even B-class article? I have tried to reach out to fellow Wikipedians on WikiProject Archaeology but have not received any responses as of yet. Cstylus (talk) 22:57, 29 May 2022 (UTC)


 * It definitely qualifies for C-class. I'm not part of WikiProject archaeology and don't know if they're strict about enforcing their quality scale, and some might think it doesn't quite meet the B-class criteria. I notice now some jargon-ish words ("transect", "aggradation") that should probably be clarified, and being free of jargon is part of the B-class criteria. In most cases, though, the quality rating doesn't matter that much unless you go through the formal review processes for good article or featured article status. A.

Co-ordinates
The co-ords (34°45'09"N 33°18'11"E) aren't spot on: they point to a location about 20 m away from the centre of the tent, and outside the tent (which, I presume, covers most of the important artefacts); 34°45'08.8"N 33°18'12.3"E are more accurate - but that depends on whether or not decimals are allowed for the seconds.

Photo
Should the photo be replaced by something that shows some of the remains? I was thinking from further below. Right now the photo shows some sheep, a few trees and the protective tent. With the article named Tenta, at first I thought the tent was part of the original settlement. Vpab15 (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd keep the current one, since it's high-quality, and the tent-structure somewhat is part of the archaelogical site today – after all, it's described as a "landmark". But I acknowledge the issue you point to, that it might be confused as some sort of reconstruction (that it's not an original tent should be clear once you read just how old the place is). Regarding the DYK appearance, it might have been less confusing had the other hook been chosen ( ... that Tenta is protected by a large "tent"? ). Anyway, I've changed the picture caption to highlight that this is just the protective shelter. Is that better? --LordPeterII (talk) 21:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the clarification to the caption. I have clarified in the text that the protective roof is modern, since it is wasn't clear before. Vpab15 (talk) 09:44, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup that was also a good idea. Thanks! --LordPeterII (talk) 20:57, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
