Nayland Blake: Re-encountering Our Local Queer History | YBCA Amorales88 (talk) 04:26, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

I think this article is missing more facts about his life, the first section of the page lacks details. I am interested to know if he grew up nine New York and curious to know if his parents were artists as well. Also, what inspired his work (if it can be pointed to a certain event). I am going to try to find more information and add onto it. I will also review the citations. Amorales88 (talk) 01:20, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Brief Peer Review by Redlabel9562
5. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? I found one source from the Village Voice, a potential unreliable source to be citing from. I also noted a moderate amount of facts listed without any references at all. Another source listed is from an interview in which Mr. Blake participated in. An interview with the subject as a potential source could lead to biased opinions from the individual about themselves. No Biases are noted within the article. Sources seem to be scarce on the artist, so the use of non-conventional sources may be appropriate in this case.

 * Hey Amorales, I know it was kind of difficult finding more information on him because it was difficult for me to find some when I was researching. I was thinking, maybe you can make separate section for his art and describe what kind of impact he made towards the AIDS movement. For example, he did a video in 1994 called "Negative Bunny" (1994) that engages questions of intimacy and fear within the cultural and social context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. So maybe you can make an "Art Contribution" section and add different artworks he did (source: https://henryart.org/exhibitions/nayland-blake-negative-bunny). In 1991, he also organized an exhibition by young gay and lesbian artists for San Francisco'sNew Langton Arts called "Situation." You can go into depth of what was going through his head while planning this. (Source: http://archive.bampfa.berkeley.edu/exhibition/InaDifferentLight) Hope this helps, goodluck!

Peer Review of Redlabel9562
The paragraph is an interesting addition to the article. The citations are links to other Wikipedia articles that explain the museum and fursona. In addition to those sources, the added sentences need a citation that supports Nayland Blake's participation in the performance series "Crossing Object (Inside Gnomen)".
