Commedia dell'Arte masks

I removed the template.

I think your article needs more context. For example, you start by saying

Commedia dell'Arte masks are one of the biggest classifiers for each character.

A reader who has no idea what Commedia dell'arte is won't have a clue what you're talking about.

You should also add links to other articles so that readers would know where to find more information about the topic. You might also consider looking for examples of different types of masks on Commons. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, I am very leary about adding pictures and did not find any on the Commons or I would definitely like to add some. Msldance (talk) 20:10, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Looks good. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:13, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Article feedback

Nice work on your article Commedia dell'arte masks. I wanted to bring some minor issues to your attention.

• You do not need to cite or link to the sources of images used on Wikipedia. It is a good idea to cite the source of facts in image captions, but each image has its own attribution page that is reachable by clicking on the image, so it is not necessary to cite the image page or source of the image itself. If you use images from Wikipedia elsewhere, such as a PowerPoint presentation for class, you do need to cite that image page. See the training module Contributing Images and Media Files for more information about adding images.
• Consider adding more information to your citations of books, such as the names of publishers or ISBNs, to make it easier for readers to find your sources.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:13, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
