1. Everything from the article was relevant to the article topic. It gave me a lot of background information about who Felix Gonzalez-Torres was and why he was so important. The fact that it talked a lot about his artwork it made me open another tab to look into his work and visualize for myself. I think that really caught my attention and made me get a little distracted in continuing reading.

2. The article seemed very neutral to me because it talked about where he was born and how and why he became successful.


3. In my perspective, I don’t find any viewpoints that are underrepresented. All the bolded key points lead and link up to how and why Felix was successful and important.

4. I checked a few citations not all of them worked but for the most part most of them did. I wanted to know more about the Group Material Felix joined in 1987 and what it was all about. However, the citation didn’t work which made me think if he really was ever part of this group or if it even existed.

5. Not all the facts are referenced with an appropriate or reliable reference some of them just take me to links that don’t have to do anything with the article. But some of the facts are reliable and they all seem to be neutral sources that support Felix Gonzalez-Torres success.

6. I didn’t find any information out of date however, there is a lot that can be added to this article. For example, the citations that lead me to no reliable to information, I can definitely go back and make it reliable or delete if it’s not necessary.


7. The conversation that caught my attention the most behind the scenes of my topic was a few people who kept removing an image of Felix Gonzalez-Torres from the same person who kept putting it back up. He was trying to prove a point however, many of those behind the scenes were against it due to Felix always refusing to be photographed or the spotlight of attention. The wikipedants who are against it wanted to keep the artist wishes and never posting any pictures of him.

8. This article was not rated but is part of the following WikiProject Visual arts, Biography, and LGBT studies.

9. The way Wikipedia discusses this topic is very difficult but all the information is laid out very organized with different main topics about the article. It seemed so much easier in the class when we discussed about it but it’s so much information/steps and ways to get this done correctly.

Peer Review Hey Liz! I was reading the article about Felix Gonzales-Torres, which offered a lot of great information. It looked as though if it was almost too much information though due to the page layout. Maybe if the page would have offered some more pictures or maybe tables it might become more appealing to the eye. Majority of the information presented had citations to back it up, which was great but many of the websites and articles used I was not able to find. However, I really enjoyed reading about how he was openly gay and still happy and living life despite the negativity that was thrown his way. It was also interesting to learn that his artwork was to depict himself being a proud gay man with HIV/aids. Sad to hear he passed from the disease, but his legacy will forever be remembered.
