Article Review
Collection Management Policies are essential in order for collection staff to thoroughly and fully understand how to properly care for and preserve their museum's collections. Your article clearly demonstrates the importance of CMPs in ensuring preventive conservation and care of the collections by outlining the standards and practices collections staff are to follow in order to mitigate and/or block the agents of deterioration. These include (as you outline): proper environmental conditions for the collections and the methods/frequency these conditions will be measured, pest management, security methods, procedures for object conservation, emergency preparedness plans, and procedures for physically handling the objects. Your article comprehensively defines and breaks down all of the necessary elements that should be included in CMPs without being too lengthy and overwhelming. Your citations are consistently formatted and your provided references also indicate that your article is well researched. The only things I would edit are the grammatical errors throughout the article, and I would add more links to related Wikipedia articles and external links.

Final Project Outline Review [Part 1]
Hi Kelsey!

I’m going to do my best to address each of these questions, as I know you are possibly still tweaking things. First, I like how you focused on a specific topic. I think will help keep things easier and add a bit more variety, especially if this information isn’t already available on Wikipedia. Do you plan on including a section or paragraph on how to preserve The Clinic? I think it would be interesting since you have a section on the “Consequences of Previous Treatments”. Also, will this include images? Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but it would be great to see if possible! Will you also include some background on who Thomas Eakins was? I found this wiki article on him Thomas Eakins. There is also this article by the Met, Thomas Eakins (1844–1916): Painting. I think having an additional section maybe “Other works” by Thomas Eakins” would be interesting as well, in case readers want to dive more into his work. Overall, from what I can see your outline follows clear Wikipedia guidelines. You have good article structure and already a variety of resources for people to look into further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameenabossier (talk • contribs) 23:30, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Draft Outline Review
Hello Kelsey,

I think its really interesting to focus on the restoration of the Gross Clinic by Thomas Eakins. Your outline so far is great, you have set up some great points to discuss for the restoration of the piece. As Ameena has mentioned I think adding a link to the artist would be a great touch. I just figured out how to link to other Wikipedia pages for my project. I think it helps explain to the person reading that they could look up more in depth about a subject or person elsewhere on Wikipedia without going too in depth yourself. Another possible addition would be if you could find an article or a piece that mentions the artists original intent for the painting. As in our readings we always try to understand what the original intent is before making any restorations to a piece. I also found an article that maybe could add to your history as it mentions the “cultural importance” of the Gross Clinic and it gives a little insight into why he painted a particular way (Tucker, 2012). You also followed the Wikipedia Guidelines and I look forward to seeing your article as we move forward, Great job!
