Where might I be able to see a picture of the golden artifact in the greek museum depicting the ark of the covenant?

I have found pictures showing the parting of the sea there,National Archaeological Museum of Athens Greece.(online)

[edit] Assessment by the Football WikiProject

Hi! What I meant with my comment was that it needs much work to go higher than GA-class, I expressed myself a little bit unclear. I saw it was up on GA nomination, but I am not very good at judging which articles are GA-class and which are not, so we'll have to see if it is good enough already. However, to be rated even higher, that is, A- or FA-class, it needs a lot of work, more text, incorporation of the trivia and court cases in the main text body, and just general fixes. See Denis Law for an example of a FA-class player article. Hope this helps a little. – Elisson Talk 19:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

King Crimson [283] October 19, 2006 A I gave this article an A-class assessment even though it failed the FA nomination. It could use some more inline citations (unless they're covered by the print bibliography).

The prose could use a little more work, as described in the FA review, but nothing earthshaking stands out. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 17:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

Most of the article is biography with links to more detailed biographical sections which name their sources. For example, to a large extent my contributions have drawn on Desmond and Moore's Darwin which is cited as a reference both on this page and on the relevant main articles. Footnotes for inline citations were less well developed at the time these pages were put together, and since the books listed have been used as a major source, the present citation of the books at the end of each main article with additional inline links for particular points from other sources seems appropriate. While it would theoretically be possible to go over the points and try to work out which sentence refers to which book, the result would be a mass of links to these volumes. However if there are specific points where inline citations are particularly important, please say so. ...dave souza, talk 15:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

As of this edit, I would categorize Anne Hathaway (actress) as a B-class article. Some of its strengths include moderate referencing, images containing fair use rationale, and good writing. On the other hand, some weaknesses include the lead section, which does not summarize the article as a whole and the lack of images and information.

Dean Smith [395] November 17, 2006 Good article GA Leaving this at a B, because it still needs some things before it can be A (or nominated for GA), but you're close. Take a look at WP:CITE and redo the citations to conform to that guideline. Also you have a "peacock" sentence in the lead: "He has been recognized as one of the greatest coaches in American sports history" - by whom? Great job, though! Just a little bit and I'd nominate it for GA...plange 03:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
