Good article, Lauren. You have lots of clearly explained information about different types of textiles, types of risks associated with them, and preventative measures that can be taken to preserve them. Fragile textiles have always seemed to me like a particularly difficult type of media to care for. This article does a nice job of summarizing the highlights of textile care. I like your well organized layout for the outline. My only suggestion would be to make the "Types of Fibers" part into a separate section. Also, adding in full citations for the references makes it easier for the reader to quickly see what sources you have used. NicoleStribs (talk) 03:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Lauren, I too looked forward to seeing how you approached this topic! I thought the inclusion of various types of fibers was very helpful; it gave some specific information while also showing the variety that is seen in textile collections. Overall, I think the organization of your entry is great, but I might suggest renaming the "Pests" section under "Preventative Measures," only because you have the same heading under "Agents of Deterioration," but with a slightly different focus. You could call it "Pest Management" or "Pest Control" instead to make it more clear what the focus was. In addition, I like that you included a section on handling - textiles have very particular guidelines, and explaining them was helpful. Lippa.courtney (talk) 15:54, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
