Hey Theodorerex, I really like this article so far. It's really interesting that the Rock Art seems to be separated in chronology, from what remains and what is dissappeared. There seems to be so much to learn from how many sites you listed, which leads to my first suggestion. I think it would be really cool if you added a little more about the different sites that you listed. You did a really good job at summarizing Tasili n'Ajjer and I think that it would be beneficial to be able to compare the summaries of different sites. Another suggestion is to expand more on your time periods. You listed the ESA and MSA but didn't go into discussing what characterizes them. Also, you didn't provide any dates for the other 4 periods, which might be beneficial to the reader. Finally, i think you should reference some of the key analysts in this project to not only beef up your links, but also to provide credit to those making the conclusions for all of society to learn.Luxord185 (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I like your article right now! I think it provides an excellent overview of such a large section of archaeology. I did notice that you don't reference almost any of your statements. I think that could help add more credibility to your article and allow people to gather more information themselves. the list of regions and sites looks super helpful. but maybe you could add a little synapses to each about the type of rock art there is or the age of the site. The information you gave about the animals and their connection with the prehistoric environment was great. the only thing I think those need are dates to separate and explain the different categories you placed them in. Lastly something small that could help readers would be to add a figure to your pictures and reference them in the article so that they can see the examples easily.Cloebugg (talk) 18:32, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
Article feedback
editNice work on your contributions to Saharan rock art. Another editor has added a "citation needed" tag to one of the statements you added to the article, so you might consider adding an inline citation for that sentence from one of the sources you used. Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:28, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
