Early Years Section
Be careful here to avoid overly referencing Janiak's self-published "Comprehensive Resume" in this section. See Wikipedia: Biographies of Living Persons for guidance about including personal info on living subjects. AmyDeer (talk) 13:17, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Response: Great, I'll look over the guidelines more carefully. I think I will delete information about his grammar school since it is not really relevant to his filmmaking. Otherwise, would it be permissible to reference where he lived growing up even though that was not stated by a primary source? I wanted to include information about growing up near nature since nature does inform his artistic practice. Jbhagen25 (talk) 22:19, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Further Reading Section
Make sure this follows Wikipedia's guidance on external links, specifically "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article." Also, annotations are unnecessary and extraneous here. See "WP:EL"Wikipedia: External LinksAmyDeer (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, I just looked over the Wikipedia External Links page to clarify the rules. I'll check over the article to make sure that all links apply to the article's content. Are there any links in particular that stand out as not fitting with the rest? Jbhagen25 (talk) 22:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Career Section
Great info. Maybe this could be reorganized to focus on particular moments of notability and less chronologically -- i.e. three paragraphs -- the first on commercial / studio work (Richard Kliedon and Goldsholls), the second on the Army, and the third on his teaching (including subject areas, teaching philosophy, and students).

-Add a little more to bio. His time in grammar school drawing with nuns seems like an interesting start to his eventual work in animation and design.

-Mention of him having a chance to meet Walt Disney seems random in the "awards" section- is there more information about that? Why did he have a chance, did he eventually meet him?

-Change "Advertising" section to "Commercial/Studio Work", and incorporate more about how he got into films, specifically documentary works that aren't really mentioned in article otherwise. Highlight films he's done.

-Janiak also won two Hugo awards- mention these under "awards", and see if he's won any other accolades.

-Highlight most important films rather than listing them.

-Change "showings" section to more of a paragraph about his showings and details about his work screening in the 60's and now- telling about it's relevance still
