ROM E-Volunteering

Hi, I was wondering if you were still working on any articles or edits for the ROM E-Volunteering project. I am taking over the project from Ryan and I am trying to gauge who is currently working on what. Thank you so much for the volunteering you have done so far we really appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks MJMcGowan (talk) 18:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome

Hey AngelKelley,

I'm so glad you're e-volunteering for the IMA to work in Wikipedia! There are two other users that have been working on this project -- one who just started recently User:DebraHardy, and User:Zambonia who has been working at it longer. Your first article in your sandbox looks good -- check out the articles (and maybe say hello to them) they have written also and don't be afraid to copy techniques from other articles. Best, --RichardMcCoy (talk) 00:20, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Richard, I'm glad to hear my first attempt is off to a good start. In terms of publishing the page officially, do we need your approval first or should we feel free to upload sandbox pages once we feel comfortable with them? --AngelKelley (talk) 00:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Nope, you don't need my approval at all. I'll keep an eye on it. --RichardMcCoy (talk) 12:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Sounds good. Thanks! --AngelKelley (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Looks like you're fine on the number and variety of sources, which is the flaw most likely to send editors into a frothing rage. I do have a tiny bit more information from the rare 1988 collection handbook Richard lent me: because he's a monk he has "none of the ornate jewelry that is characteristic of a Bodhisattva," "Stylistically, this statue reflects the transition between late Fujiwara and early Kamakura period modes of expression," and "The head and torso are fashioned in a highly stylized geometric manner that dominates Japanese Buddhist art of the eleventh and twelfth centuries." on p. 166. I am enamored of the citation templates: [1]. Zambonia (talk) 22:37, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Zambonia, thank you so much for looking over my work and for offering some extra tidbits! I was able to use what you cited, plus add in a little bit extra to create a Historical information section. Also, the citation templates are awesome and are huge time savers. Thanks again! --AngelKelley (talk) 21:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
It sounds much more impressive than the website's info, but I'm not sure there's much that's really new for the guang. Telling us what the heck that inscription says would clearly be too helpful.

"This ceremonial wine vessel with a removable lid demonstrates the complex sculptural qualities so often exhibited in the bronze casting of ancient China. As in many early bronzes, the decor is animated with zoomorphic designs such as birds and dragons, set against a background filled with fine spiral patterns, and the vessel itself is a composite of animal forms. Precious bronze vessels like this were made for the highest levels of aristocracy and were intended solely for sacrificial ceremonies for the ancestors of the ruling elite. On the inside of the cover is an inscription, presumably the name of the clan or the person to whom the vessel is dedicated." Zambonia (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
