Welcome![edit]
Hello, Yeseniacx, 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.

Notes[edit]
Hi! I have some notes for you:
- Avoid hotlinking within the article, as this is highly discouraged on Wikipedia. For example, don't link to her Facebook page within the article.
- I've removed the current life section as this is something that was reliant on social media and would also become very quickly outdated. It's unlikely that someone would keep up with this on a regular enough basis for it to be seen as viable. We can cover things that are currently happening, but they have to be phrased a certain way. See this for more explanation.
- This needs to have in-line citations. You also want to avoid using social media as a source, as it poses issues of verification (we have to make sure that it's the account for the person in question) and in most situations won't be able to establish notability. The only time it could would be something along the lines of a case where a major award granting institution posts about the artist receiving an award. Even then, the expectation is that there will be something else out there that would be a stronger source for the claim.
- As far as sourcing in general goes, you want to look for the strongest possible sourcing. Make sure that if you're using a site, that the site is routinely seen as a reliable source. As far as notability goes, primary sources (ie, those written by the artist in question or by people or organizations affiliated with them) cannot establish notability. You need independent, reliable sources for this, like newspaper articles about the individual. Things like listings for exhibitions can be used to establish notability as long as they are for a very major institution like the Smithsonian.
Other than this, the page looks OK. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
