Welcome!

Hello, Itsjaime, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Notes

Hi! I have some notes for your work:

Avoid having personal judgement or interpretations in the work. Subjective statements should be avoided whenever possible. The only exception would be when we're summarizing something that was stated in a source and even then, it needs to be attributed so that it doesn't come across like it's Wikipedia making a judgement call. Also, interpretations of her work should be limited to the sections about her artwork or a reception section for the most part.

Make sure that you stick to a formal third person writing style - be careful to avoid writing casually, as this can pose issues with tone and neutrality. A lot of this is written more as a personal reflection on Kelliher-Combs, so it needs a lot of editing for neutrality.

This needs in-line citations to back up claims, as right now it's unsourced. There are citations at the bottom but they need to be in-line. There also needs to be a wider variety of citations as these tend to just list her artworks and don't really give any sort of commentary on the artist. You also want to be careful of primary sources written by the artist herself or by her management (ie, official websites, CVs) - they can be used for basic details but you should have secondary, independent sources as well.

I've moved this to your userspace since this needs a lot of work before it can be moved live. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
