Malia's Peer Review of Pim3nt3l edit
Hey, do you have any examples of the "Unique Features" that you can list when you mention it on the first sentence?
A lot of this article is written in passive voice. Any way of editing to reflect a more active?
There is no citation in any of this: "Furthermore, the palace of Knossos was not just a regular palace that the Minoans built. The Palace of Knossos was the biggest palace that the Minoan people had ever constructed.The Palace is about 150 meters across and it spreads over an area of some 20,000 square meters. With its original upper levels possibly having a thousand chambers. The Palace is connected to the mythological story of The Bull of Minos, since it is in this palace where it was written that the labyrinth existed. Focusing on the architectural aspects of the Palace of Knossos, it was a combination of foundations that depended on the aspects of its walls for; the dimensions of the rooms, staircases, porticos, and chambers. The Palace was designed in such a fashion that the structure was laid out to surround the central court of the Minoans. Aesthetically speaking, the pillars along with the stone paved northern entrance gave the Palace a look and feel that was unique to the Palace of Knossos. The space surrounding the court was covered with rooms and hallways. Some of which were stacked on top of the lower levels of the Palace being linked through multiple ramps and staircases. Others were built into a hill, as described by the sights excavator Arthur John Evans, “...The palace of Knossos is the most extensive and occupies several hills. ” [Castleden, pg] On the east side of the court’s palace there was a grand staircase different to that of the other staircases in the Palace. This staircase was built to go up through the many levels of the Palace. The staircase was added for the royal residents of the Palace. On the west side of the court, the throne room, a modest room with a ceiling some two meters high [Castleden, pg], can be found along with the frescoes that were decorating the walls of the hallways and storage rooms.( Frescoes are usually, large mural like paintings that are painted on a moist, plaster surface with colors ground up in water or a lime water mixture)
Overall, some great information. It needs a little bit of work in the citation area and adding more specifics. You guys did an excellent job! QueenlyRadiance (talk) 06:29, 1 December 2017 (UTC) Malia Rowe
