Hello, Reyes ana10, 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.

Deleted page response

edit

Hi! It looks like the page was moved to User:Ryan! Feddersen, where it was deleted as a non-existent userpage by @Fastily:. In order for it to be restored we need to make a request of Fastily - I've pinged them to this page. Fastily, would you be willing to restore this to the student's sandbox? I think that there's a good argument for notability here - the artist has an artwork in the permanent collections at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, which is a Smithsonian affiliate, plus there has been some coverage for their work. They also received a fellowship from what looks like it's a notable institution. This does need some work as far as sourcing and the like goes, but that I can work on with the student.

Now that said, I did get to see what was in the draft and I have some notes for you, as there were some issues with the page as far as sourcing and the like goes:

  • This needed more in-line citations to back up the claims in the article - it looks like there are some, but only a few. This can help better establish notability, as well as verify claims.
  • Avoid casual language and use of wording like "we" and "our". The article should be written in neutral third person. The writing here was pretty casual in tone, so this would need to be worked on.
  • Make sure that we are only summarizing what has been explicitly stated in the source material. Any point of view statements, conclusions, interpretations, and anything that could be seen as subjective must be something that was stated in the source and must be attributed - it shouldn't come across like it's our own original research. A good way to help with this is to stick to the basics with writing and to take notes while putting the sourcing together.

I have more, but I'll wait until the article is restored to your sandbox. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:37, 18 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
