Overall, I think you wrote a great article on Object Packing and Shipping! It is always a scary thought when a priced object leaves your possession. There are so many unknown and variables it can face outside the museum's walls. We recently had one of our most priced paintings go out on loan and I can tell you the stress of getting the proper crate, booking a trusted delivery company, scheduling the courier, etc. can be very daunting! Protecting an item on loan starts the minute it begins the traveling process (i.e. crate fitting) and I think you listed a sufficient base for how to know what to do. You used reliable citations and I also think the inclusion of the external link list was a great touch. I also appreciated the pictures you put in which provide great visuals and your ability to connect numerous words to their own articles for easy to get to information. I would suggest maybe having a sentence or two on why proper packing/shipping is vital for the health of an object in relation to preservation/conservation. Otherwise, I think it's a really solid article! AAbrahamsen2016 (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply


Hi Kim! By jove, I think I got it! At least I hope so. My original review is out there somewhere, but here I go again. I though you knocked it out of the park with this one. You did a great job at describing a very important task and covered many bases with it. Additionally, the connection between what you do (object packing) and why you do (shipping) gives a greater understanding than if it was just "object packer" The pictures are great, as well as the professional requirements and external links. I like how you connected the requirements. I really don't have any suggestions on what to add. There is a typo in your reference list, 4 Specialists is spelled incorrectly. Other than that, its perfect. Claudette
