Hi Marlena, I really liked your Wikipedia entry for Conservators because it was well laid out and thoughtful. The in-text citations were nice and I enjoyed how you included links for people to navigate if they did not know about a term or some reference that you quoted. The sub-categories were well organized under the top heading, which allowed viewers to comprehend and follow your train of thought. Unfortunately though, I thought that the career options section could have been expanded by adding links to other Wikipedia entries about well-known conservators in order to provide a real-life example. What do you think? Additionally, I did think that the external links were very helpful in supporting your commentary for this entry. Thank you for an amazing post. Great job! -Carie AHGuitar24 (talk) 23:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Marlena, This was such a great first step at creating a wikipedia article. I really like the way you mapped out the structure of your article, going from the definition of conservator to the education and training then to career options was very logical and well planned out. I also love that you included external links in your article, that is something I wish I would have provided with my own! The references are extremely well done, but I think wikipedia prefers the numbered footnotes reference type? Although I think that is a higher level skill and one we may learn later, because I know I didn't do them right either. I agree with Carie that it would have been great to add links to other wikipedia articles that describe the different roles conservators can take, because there are a lot out there. One other section that you could add is conservation in the news, and talk about things such as the King Tut conservation disaster and things that make media headlines, not just the botched jobs but the great ones too. Overall, this was extremely well done and you should be very proud of it :).
