So after being (rightly) told that my other SCP attempt was kind of… not so interesting, here is another idea I had.
(I do have some ideas of how to give the other one a bit more of punch, but in any case this one is probably more interesting.)
Please review/comment/point out the probably numerous grammar and spelling mistakes.
After getting some feedback in the chat, I edited this a bit; and the main concern being that the pottery itself was anomalous at all, I gave it some more though and made a new version:

Tab 1 is the original, which I do think has an interesting concept and a minor format screw: pottery that by itself is non-anomalous, but that the Foundation is keeping because is the only clue at the moment for the real anomaly (though as an OOPart I think the Foundation would have enough interest in its containment).
Tab 2 is the revision, where now the pottery itself is anomalous. It may be more conventional in parts (though killing pottery may be more original than a killing mountain), but it also may actually gotten more interesting.
Feedback will be appreciated.
I see that you're having trouble with the images, it looks as though you deleted some of the stuff in the coding. No matter, just copy and past the below into your Sandbox:
[[include component:image-block
name=THE NAME OF YOUR IMAGE FILE|
caption=THE TEXT YOU WANT SHOWN UNDERNEATH YOUR IMAGE|
width=300px
]]
You see, you're deleting the line at the end of the middle two rows. That's why the formatting is all screwed up. Just add those in and everything should be all good. :)
This article is just boring and a complete drag to read through. I ended up stopping when it got to the letters because there wasn't enough of a strong hook to keep me invested until the very end of the article. I'm sure it picked up pace during those letters but I just couldn't be bothered continuing when I wasn't feeling anything. This probably has something to do with the fact that I don't enjoy reading skips about ancient history or pottery for that matter, and the weird object class probably turned me off too.
Instead of:
Safe (see Addendum XXXX-1) / Uncontained
I'd make it:
Safe Uncontained (see Addendum XXXX-1)
Anyway… Yeah, that's the only real gripe I have with it.
Dr Hysteria, could you post that snippet without the curly braces? People seem to have a hard time understanding that those should be replaced too, ending up with malfunctioning code. Thanks. :)
Yeah no worries, it's just I copy and pasted the code from the How To Write an SCP Guide. I figured that if it was a big enough problem with members someone from the technical team would've removed those brackets from the coding on the page so as to not confuse new members.
Thanks! Fixed the thing with the pictures.
…The problem wasn't the | , however; don't know exactly what was wrong, but copying the whole code once again fixed it.
About the Safe/Uncontained thing, it's not that it was safe and become uncontained because of addendum, is that the contained part is safe (but it is being argued a change), and there's also an uncontained part.
Oh, well in that case I'd probably change it to this:
Safe / Pending Uncontained Reclassification (see Addendum XXXX-1)
