A fact from Art of Uruk appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 January 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the art of Uruk includes the 5,000-year-old Mask of Warka, probably one of the earliest known near life-size sculptures?

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This page has a good variety of information. It might be helpful to develop some of the sections further, however. For example, are there other kinds of architecture that have been excavated? It might also be helpful to have more written information on religious themes in art. SarahMRedman (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Sarah Redman[reply]

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This looks really good. The one idea that I did have was whether or not the Architecture section could have more in it about the mosaics? I think it could benefit from it. - wingerterka

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This page looks great. I think the only things I can think of maybe changing or altering would be adding more pictures of the cylinder seals and adding more on the mosaics. - Martinhawk

Suggestions 11/28/2017[edit]

Great work, especially since you all created this page from scratch! Some of the images are coming through kind of wonky and awkwardly placed, so you may consider checking/reformatting the images so that they are better aligned. Also, in the 'Sculpture' section, the second line may want to be split into two sentences for better clarity.

Suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This draft is well done overall. A lot of work appears to have been put into it, given the fullness of the sections written on the art styles in the region, complimented by clear, good-quality images. Readability of the page could be improved by eliminating the giant blocks of text with smaller paragraphs. Dvchicago (talk) 03:45, 29 November 2017 (UTC)Dvchicago[reply]

suggestions 11/28/17[edit]

This is really nice for creating this from scratch! Besides adding more information overall, I would maybe re-aline or size the pictures differently so that they're a little less scattered-looking. Hawkeye2020 (talk) 04:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Problem[edit]

Is anyone else finding that the photos aren't loading, not only on this site but also others on Wiki in general? 159.196.168.206 (talk) 00:13, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
