This assignment will be challenging because often BIPOC women visual artists do not receive much attention. And younger artists, much less. Remember your activist research is about finding as much as you can using the resources you have (your research skills and university libraries).
It's ok to select another artist as long as they are female Chicana/x Latina/x preferably U.S. visual artist with no Wikipedia Article who has not already been selected by a classmate. If you decide to change, contact TA to make that change on Wikipedia 2021 page on blog.
Wikipedia articles need to have the following:
Neutrality • No Copyright Infringement and No Plagiarism • Written from a reliable source, but in your own words • Reliable sources are print sources with facts, not opinions etc. • Examples of reliable sources: books, exhibition catalogues, academic journals, and internationally recognized newspapers
Artist Websites: Can be used to lead you to original reliable sources. Artists will often include a resume or CV or list printed reviews or interviews. Artists Websites may include other informations such as where they have exhibited and what museums have collected their work.
Directly from Wikipedia:
Wikipedia is "an encyclopedia, a place where you can go to find a good summary of what is already known about a topic."
"Anything you add to an article should be based on a published source of information, and you should always cite that information... That means citing published, authoritative sources that people trust."
Do not engage in "edit war" with a Wikipedia editor. None of your work is ever lost. All edits are viewable in Edit History tab.
Avoid plagiarism and copyright infringement. Follow this YouTube link to see how.
