Evaluate the drafted changes

Lead

So far, you don't have a lead. For a new article, the lead can be extremely simple, along the lines of:

"The Bronze Head of an Akkadian Ruler is an Akkadian-era bronze statue dating to 2250–2200 BCE."

Content, Organization, and Tone

The content is great! And the organization is well done. Remember, new articles like this don't need to be comprehensive – they will only grow. The information is written from a neutral tone. If you can't find anything good for your "Humiliation" section, it's ok to leave that out for this draft. You can always write in the talk page of your newly created article that you're thinking of incorporating this section, or solicit help from other Wikipedians.

Sources and References

I'm not sure what other Wikipedians would think of the yundle.com reference (there are plenty of other references to lost wax casting, such as the Grove Dictionary of Art available through the library). It's ok with me if you leave it for now, but someone else might flag is an an unreliable source.

These are a few additional references that could be useful (also for a "further reading" section):

Image

An image would be a great addition. The "images and media" module on the Wiki course page can help you with determining a copyright-free image.

Miscellaneous

Once you move this draft to Wikipedia proper, make sure to introduce yourself and your project on the Talk Page, explaining what you've done, and, if you'd like, what directions you think the article could go.

Remember to insert link to other Wikipedia pages! (The words like "bronze," "Akkadian," etc.)

Well done!
