Ways to improve Conservation and restoration of panel paintings
Hi, I'm Ajpolino. Davidsclapp, thanks for creating Conservation and restoration of panel paintings!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. An encyclopedia article should describe the topic, not lay out the author's opinions on them. For example the first sentence of the article "TOPIC can be difficult since..." is an opinion. Looking at other articles you'll see generally the format "TOPIC is (a description of what the actual topic is)", followed by history of TOPIC, etc. If you could rewrite parts of this article so that it is more encyclopedic and less of a personal essay, it could be a great asset to the encyclopedia. If you have questions, ask at WP:TEAHOUSE. Happy editing!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
