Cleveland History Blogs

The narrative is too long and meandering. What is the primary story of the site? I would recommend dividing it into a couple narratives, perhaps about Karamu and the African American community, or even arts in […]

This is a strong entry. Please confirm image citations, credit lines, and captions. The captions should connect the image to the main entry. The main narrative possesses a nice perspective, although the first […]

The quality of the images (size and image quality), as well as credits and captions must be improved (by linking to the main story.) I like the context of the entry, but it needs to tie more specifically to the […]

Good entry, though it needs to link more clearly to Cleveland and/or W&S, and/or perhaps CWRU. Avoid encyclopedic listing of information. Provide detailed anecdotes. What sorts of supporting images (astronomical […]

This is a strong entry. Confirm picture sizes, captions, and credits. Also, you need to find a central story that recognizes the complexity of the park’s use, not just emphasizing decline as the neighborhood and […]

Great entry, though overly long. Shorten and sharpen. Perhaps break into two entries. Check image sizes, resolutions, and quality. Some appear to be poor or made from photocopies. The optimal size is 600×800 (on […]

Great job, though overly long. It needs to be shortened/sharpened. Check image sizes and captions and credits. 600×800 pixels is right for image sizing.

Great entry. We need to find a way to bring disco to life and gay subculture. Perhaps some music? What about richer historical context?

Nice. I think this works. I love the emphasis on Perry. Where would you place a pin on the map?

This entry needs a central focus. It also requires captions that connect photographs to the central narrative entry. What is the story?

Great images! Check sizes and captions. This entry tells a story, but that story could be sharper. I would use the contrast between the historic photos and current shots as a jumping off point for the narrative. I […]

Images need titles and credits (and check image sizes). Also, what is the central point of the entry (Garfield Heights is too big) and how do images support that story? This is an encyclopedia entry without a […]

This entry needs to have a main narrative. What is the central story? After developing that main, brief, narrative, captions have to connect image and narrative. The photographic choices are weak. Check sizes and […]

I like this entry. Where would you place it on a map. I get the Willoughby focus, but this feels encyclopedic. We need for it to be a bit more specfic. Check the photographs as well. The birds eye view appears to […]

We need better photographs, perhaps historical photographs. Are there advertisements by Warner & Swaysey? What about images of products they produced or industrial work settings? We need evidence other than a tour […]

Same comments on bus-station story apply here. Streamline Moderne might be too specific; at the least explain it more deeply. Keep the entry focused and lively; try to avoid being encyclopedic. I would focus, […]

You need to develop a main narrative for the entry and then work to develop captions that tie images to that main narrative. Additionally, the images need to be properly titled, credited, and captioned. Please […]

Nice entry. We need to find a way to improve the quality of the images which are nice but perhaps not of good enough quality for the app…. From a writing perspective, you need to do a better job of […]

Check image sizes, captions, and permissions. We can’t use overly small images, or those for which we do not have permission. I don’t see a main narrative here, but a collection of captions. We need a strong main […]
