Interesting!

This was one of the most interesting DYKs I've seen. Cool topic. :) Zagalejo^^^ 15:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How big is this statuette?

Does anyone know how tall this artifact is? Not even the Naples National Archeological Museum description gives any sense of scale (http://cir.campania.beniculturali.it/museoarcheologiconazionale/itinerari-tematici/galleria-di-immagini/RA47/?searchterm=149425). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.119.31 (talk) 17:17, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Project I plan to contribute to the article, more background information and basically just more information which it is currently lacking. Maybe find more general information and it's origins of the artifact. Also the story behind it what it is known as or known for.

Peer review

Hi, I read your article and it's very interesting. I don't know much about this topic but it looks like there's a lot of information already and someone else is also helping too. More information about the origin and a bibliography unless otherwise but that's all. Your citing is good and you have a lot of images so I can see and have an idea of what the paragraphs are talking about. I also like that some word I don't know about has a link to them so I am able to know more information. (Christinamata (talk) 02:49, 27 October 2017 (UTC))[reply]
