Close paraphrasing

This is close paraphrasing of the content taken from the Rutgers University's biography, where phrases/portions of sentences in the Career section:

"In the late 1960s, Yalter took part in the French counterculture and revolutionary movements"
"Turkish migrant workers and their conditions, and other sociopolitical issues."
"on Turkish immigrants, specifically nomads living around Niğde, called A Nomad’s Tent: A Study of Private, Public, and Feminine Spaces."
"Yalter was a member of Collectif Femmes/Art, a group of women artists in Paris from 1976 to 1980"
" to create a piece of performance art in which she acted out everyday life in a harem."

There his also CP in the Later career section. Please see Wikipedia:close paraphrasing for tips on rewording content so that it's not in the author's voice, same order of words, etc.

Sometimes it's a little tricky when it's just restatement of facts, which can only be reworded so many ways, but there are still some opportunities to reword so it's a little further from the cited source wording. For instance, for the 4th bullet: "Between 1976 and 1980, Yalter as a member of the women artist's organization, Collectif Femmes/Art, in Paris. In other cases, where the sentences are conceptual, it is better to reword in your own words. Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:07, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

commented out close paraphrasing / copy vio, per discussion at User:CaroleHenson#reply. To be safe, since much of the content seems to be an issue, commenting most of it out.--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:18, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, When I was editing your page i found only one grammar mistake. You did a great jobs talking 'like wikipedia' and I can tell you really understood how to use Wikipedia. I added a info box to your page as another quick source of vital information about your artist. If you are looking to add more information, I would suggest to talk about some of the artist's works.. you have so many listed and none are described. Finally i added an image in the info box just to add something more to your page. The image is the main image for wikipedias WACK! page. I saw that your artist was involved in this, you can remove the image if you do not think it is relevant enough. Mcutry (talk) 03:53, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
