Articles to work on

[edit]

This is a brief list of suggested list of topics to work on. You are welcome to write on other topics too, and please feel free to add to this list. Links in blue are existing articles which can be improved and/or expanded. Links in red are articles that do not yet exist and can be created.

  • Vtape needs an infobox. Article could be expanded.
  • Draft:Wendy Geller needs additional work. AGO library has a file and one exhibition catalogue, and some additional e-resources (will need to look in both Canadian and US media for coverage). This topic has a history on Wikipedia (see evidence of prior speedy deletion for an earlier attempt at an article - more robust citations will be vital to avoid a similar outcome)
  • Women's Art Resource Centre. Starting an artist-run centre article can be a challenge but the library has a full run of Matriart and there are a number of e-resources.
  • Susan McEachern is an "orphan" article with no other articles linking to it
  • Busejé Bailey - artist file and books in AGO library; lots of e-resources; also see Sandra Brewster's letter/essay on pp 134-135 of Theaster Gates: How to Build a House Museum.
