Planned Additions[edit]

I plan to talk about how he has changed his artistics practices numerous times. I would also like to add a link to the word "symptoms" because during this period there was alot of controversy over the meaning of symptoms. I plan to add information about the personality that he mimics in his art. I would like to add more about the community he takes place in. The article fails acknowledge that his work is also located at the New York Public Library and the Los Angeles County Museum Aleman1993 (talk) 20:44, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good substantive edits. The phrase "post-apocalyptic deconstructive drag," was a fantastic find. I think a firmer timeline/link between his transition from drag/performance arts to traditional arts might be useful. Did he do both at the same time, or jump from one to the other? Did he ever give either one up? Gwalker1 (talk) 01:49, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Planned Future Additions"[edit]

As of right now his article has very little information on it. I would like add more about his career for example, what is his most famous work, where has his work been displayed, has his work won any awards or recognition from his peers, and finally where he found inspiration to draw some of his "unique" art. Lastly, I would like add a section on AIDS epidemic and how that epidemic and having AIDS influenced his work. M0318 (talk) 15:39, 20 October 2017 (UTC) The references that I plan to use are:[reply]

"Book" Corpora, Craig Michael, & Art History. (2014). Little lovelies : Queer worldmaking and disidentification in the art of Jerome Caja. San Francisco State University.
"Article" Strauss, D. (1989). San Francisco: Jerome Caja. Artforum International, 27(8), 171.

"Article" Sherwood, Katherine. (2006). Art, Medicine, and Disability. Radical History Review, 2006(94), 191.

If any one has further insight, advise, or tips please let me know. M0318 (talk) 15:39, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adding information about the actual aids epidemic is a great idea because the article does not describe how the epedemic unfolded and why the artists began to convey their messages through artwork.Aleman1993 (talk) 21:51, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added[edit]

I have added a link to the word “symptoms” because this was a controversial topic during this period and people should know the difference between symptoms and signs. I’ve also added how Caja’s artwork has evolved and what his intentions are because his art is somewhat difficult to interpret for someone without any artistic experience. Additionally, I included more about his college education because it appeared like he went straight into the university. Finally, I included other locations that recognize Caja’s work. Otherwise it appears as though San Francisco is the only one who recognized him.Aleman1993 (talk) 22:39, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added[edit]

I added information about a non-profit organization that was created in the honor of Jerome "The Jerome Project". This organizations primary goal is to preserve and protect Jerome art. M0318 (talk) 15:35, 3 November 2017 (UTC) http://www.thejeromeproject.com/about.html[reply]

Thank you for adding useful information to this article, but you may want to add why you think this would be useful to the article, also please remember to sign your posts. Aleman1993 (talk) 05:49, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aleman1993 thanks for the input. The reason that I added the Jerome Project is because they have a large portion of his work online. Additionally, currently Jerome is mostly known as a controversial gay artist and their main goal is for the world to recognize him as an important 20th century artist instead. M0318 (talk) 15:50, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good job,that seems reasonable.Aleman1993 (talk) 05:43, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added and Edited[edit]

I added why the The Jerome Project is relevant to the section under this articles "artwork" section. Additionally, I made some grammatical edits to the my previous edit so it could be smoother to read. 134.154.69.15 (talk) 17:05, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Early life...[edit]

I feel as if more information should be added on Jerome Caja parents because it provides more insight on his upbringing. --Djp209 (talk) 00:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Lead: The lead of the article is almost non-existent, it is very brief and concise Structure: The structure of the article is very direct, it addresses the artist's life and death and allows readers to navigate through each section easily. Balance: The article is unbalanced for the most part because some sections have a lot more information than others. Neutrality: Overall the article is neutral and contains no opinion based information. Source Reliability: The sources utilized in this article are reliable sources and cited correctly. Overview: Overall the article is very brief and fairly easy to navigate through. More information can be added to balance the sections. More information can be added to the lead, artwork, and death sections. Vsharma12 (talk) 21:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
