Talk:Jim Hodges (artist)

message: Hello,
I am currently evaluating articles for a class this semester and I am hoping to help out with this article about Jim Hodges.
For this week I would like to answer the following questions:
"Is any information out of date?" and "Is each fact referenced with an appropriate and reliable reference?"
One thing I would like to recommend would be to include some footnotes to some of the paragraphs because it'll be really helpful to the reader to see where some of this information is coming from.
Another suggestion is to update the external links to some of the websites because I couldn't access three of them while I was checking through.
The references to information are really important however, referencing to a shopping site (such as shop.walkerart.org) isn't a reliable source of information.
Therefore I would recommend a site such as artsy.net/artist/jim-hodges or other scholarly articles that will provide solid facts about his work or his life as an artist.
Thank you and hope this evaluation helps! Ciramya (talk) 04:00, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Footnotes and Reliable References 

message: Hello, I decided to work on Jim Hodges' bibliography as my assigned article for class.
If there's any questions or comments, I look forward to improving my edits and this article!
Hope that's alright!
As for my plan, I hope to contribute to this article by adding more images, descriptions about his work, and some more information into his bibliography. In order to find good sources to use, I will research through some published books from my school's library and scholarly articles from sites such as JSTOR.org. I would also like to create separate sections within the bibliography such as Education, Exhibits, and Personal Life to organize the Wiki page for easier access.
Thank you! Ciramya (talk) 05:20, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Looking forward to improve Jim Hodges' wiki page. 

message: The overall tone of the article sounded very casual, but also described assumptions of the artist's feelings during certain parts of his life without being sourced from the artist himself. I will be adding a photo of Hodges as well as more of his work to provide readers with more visuals of him and his art. Some links need to be updated and changed. And hopefully I will be able to provide a bigger pool of resources and articles to help cite all the information posted on the article. Any additional updates and notes will be posted here.

thread_title:  Article Evaluation 

message: Edited in some information of the artist's works during 1990-1992. I placed it before the other two works to keep a chronological timeline of his work consistent. The two subsections are cited and added into the references.

thread_title:  Style and Works Section 

message: I'm going to begin copy edit on the article, as per the maintenance tag.  I hope this doesn't interfere with anyone's class assignment (it looks like that course is winding down).  I'll try to post notes here and I don't mind reversions if it's a problem. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:17, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
