Documentation

From MiddleWiki

1. Documentation is essentially a book report on your A&S Competition item you have created.

You will be expected to supply proof of your items authenticity, your understanding of the creation process of period items like yours, how yours differs from period samples, and your design and though processes to acheive the results you got.

You will also be expected to supply a Bibliography of books and scholarly sources to back up your work, as well as any footnoted points of interest the A&S Judges should know.

First time entrants are highly encouraged to seek out a minister of arts & sciences as well as Laurels or Apprentices and other artsy folks who are more familiar with the process to help you write what you need correctly.

2. While the main purpose of Documentation in the Middle Kingdom is for A&S Competitions, there is nothing precluding documenting and researching just for the joy of it.

3. In general the term documentation can refer to evidence, research or sources. For example "Is there documentation for that hair style in the fourteenth century?"
