Riverside, Indianapolis	1, 2	Needs additional citations. Missing citations - see entry. Needs a close reading for encyclopedic style; also needs an infobox.
Chris Gonzalez Collection	1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6	Missing citations - see entry. Also needs an infobox.
Lissa Hunter	1, 2, 4, 5, 6	Missing citations and needs additional citations. Some current references are works by Hunter and could be listed in a "Written works" section. Entry needs infobox.
