Welcome!

Hello, Emaddux, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Article Evaluation

Knossos

1. Everything about the Knossos article is on topic and it does not appear to be missing anything important.

2. Everything stated is explained informatively. I did not catch any bias throughout the wikipedia page.

3. I would like to see that there is more of an explanation on who was controlling Knossos throughout the years.

4. All of the links that I clicked took me to the correct places. The sources backed up everything that was stated in the article.

5. Most facts are backed up by reliable sources. There was only one source that was from a .com site and that is the only one I am concerned with. Most of the sources are from reliable textbooks or ancient texts such as from Homer's lliad.

6. Nothing looks to be out of date. I think it would be helpful to include more information on who actually lived in the palace of Knossos. More citations could be added throughout the page.

7. There seems to be a lot of correcting being done because people that are not positively contributing to the article are making edits that they should not be making. It is mostly the people who are trying to improve the page trying to figure out whether to allow the new edits or not.

8. Knossos' page is rated as a start class. There are currently four WikiProjects taking place on Knossos.

9. I would say Wikipedia has gone more into depth about Knossos than we have in class. It also seems to have a variety of sources that we have not touched base with either.

Addition to Knossos article

The colonial status of Knossos came nearly 40 years after the initial invasion of the entire island of Crete. It was at this time that the Romans completely changed the architectural landscape of Knossos to look and become more Roman. --Emaddux (talk) 19:33, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
