Talk:Maria Chavez

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. Citations- add citation on first sentence. Some quotes are taken word for word from the CEC article, so they should be placed in quotes in addition to being cited. 2. Missing info- any information about her education? how she was introduced to the field? Pink Noise has that info if I recall. 3. Copyedit: the body of the article is readable; the intro paragraph/section is maybe unnecessarily long, much of it could be placed in the work section. 4. Is the language consistently neutral?- mostly. saying "her work expands outside of the sound world" feels too much like an opinion. 5. Is there original research?- not really, just the above instances of opinion. 6. Is your entry assignable to wikipedia categories (e.g. Washington state composers, 1956 births, etc.)- yes, but it is already in three categories. maybe also female artists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amjerrell (talkcontribs) 01:14, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Add citation for first sentence.

Awards section should be below the work section, this is pretty standard for Wikipedia articles.

Does she have any notable works or performances you could add as a separate section as a list at the bottom?

Do you have any more information about her early life, perhaps her birthday or any educational history?

In the final paragraph of the work section, use "In 2014, Chavez wrote and illustrated her first book...". Also that's probably inaccurate, it was likely published this year but written/illustrated in prior years.

Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable should either be underlined or in quotation marks.

If using direct quotations from a source, like in the first paragraph, this should be marked as such on the page.

Try putting the information from your sources into your own words. Don't just lift all the text.

Research the development of her career, not just what she does now.

When talking about her book, the title must be italicized and also the phrase book object sounds awkward. Just call it a book.

Look to see if things mentioned in your page have their own pages, and if so, link to those pages.
