Copyedit

Good day,

I came across this article when reading articles related to Rocco, specifically Neoclassicism.

During my copyediting so far, I’ve come across the following questions/points I’d like clarified, and will be adding to the list as I go along:

Article lede:
1. What are the other classical elements? Could this be expanded on and wikilinked to the Classical architecture of classical antiquity?

Hey Le Prince De Conde, I’m just adding you here as you were paramount in creating the article. Any chance you could review my copyedits? waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello waddie96,

The other classical elements I was referring to were the acanthus leaves, cupids, putti, and figures of Greek and Roman deities described in the following section. Wikilinks could presumably be helpful.

While it would be outside my field of competence to try to speak to the formatting of the edits, I did notice a few changes to the content of the article that might contrast with wikipedia policies.

Possible examples of peacock terms and weasel words:

"reflecting Rococo's enduring impact on architectural design trends" (essay style versus letting the impacts speak for themselves)

"Many of these architectural masterpieces have been preserved and now serve as historic house museums" (subjective)

"Together with decorative arts, furniture, and other interior elements, these features contributed to the overarching theme of opulent interior ornamentation" (sounds like an argumentative essay thesis versus passive wikipedia style)

NPOV: Normative: "Ceremonial and significant spaces like ... to other important rooms" (presumes the functional spaces were less important than the ceremonial spaces)

m: spacing: severalformal and informal gardens ----> several formal and informal gardens

Thank you for improving the article,

Yes, I agree it’s weasel and puffery, and would appreciate if you could help remove and improve with this. As this topic is outside my field of knowledge completely, so all I can help with is restructuring/grammar/layout/copyediting; as done so far.

Collaboration on this together I’d appreciate! waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:00, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So @Le Prince De Conde, feel free to WP:BE BOLD and edit too :-). Thanks, waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
