Article Review
The role of the art preparator is vital to museums because, as you mention, they are one of the few staff members who are allowed to physically touch the objects. Therefore, it is important that they handle and care for objects and artifacts in collections through preventive conservation practices and methods that reduce and/or block the risks associated with the agents of deterioration, such as (as you outline): cleaning the objects and routine maintenance of the exhibition spaces, devising effective storage strategies, carefully choosing and installing lighting that does not expose the objects to UV light, constructing display cases that deter theft and vandalism, etc. You do a great job of giving a comprehensive and well-written outline-that is still concise and easy to understand-of the preventive conservation practices and methods that art preparators are responsible for on a regular basis, as well as the knowledge and skills required to actually carry them out! It is also evident that your article is well-researched based on your references, citations, and helpful links to other Wikipedia articles and external links related to collection care and staff.

Article Review #2
Meghan,

Overall, this was a very easy read and very informative regarding information on an Art Preparator. You had an appropriate structure with a table of contents that made sense. The references and in-text citations were consistent throughout and you had great links within the body of the page. I liked your addition of an external links section as well as the other relevant collections roles. One minor change I would have made would be to bold each individual role so that they are easily distinguishable from the rest of the definition text. Outside of that this article was good and you also did a great job of reminding the reader that there are different size museums and that sometimes multiples roles are done by the one person.
