I chose to focus my Wikipedia gap analysis on Enid Crow. I have identified several gaps on the webpage featuring her personalized background and information. Wikipedia has mentioned her background briefly but is lacking any information on her artwork, style, purpose, and pieces that she creates based on feminist ideas and topics. I think that it is vital to mention her art pieces and the background of interpretation, in addition to school and life experiences. Everything covered in Wikipedia about her/her work seems to be centered on approximately 6 sentences and misses some of her other significant works that contribute to feminism. I observed that they chose to feature a sentence based on another male artist, Henry Darger, she collaborated with as significant accomplishment. After exploring Henry Darger’s Wikipedia page, I was quite surprised to find that his page did not even mention Enid Crow and his collaboration with her as a significant accomplishment. The reciprocal acknowledgement was missing in Henry Darger’s page. In Henry’s page, there is information on his educational background, works, life, influence and even mental health. The structure of power was lopsided to her male counterpart here. It fails to acknowledge her work towards a humorous approach (parody) and the stigmatization of the word faggot, and the LGBTI/Q Intersections individuals face in America.

As written on page : “Enid Crow (born 1968, New York, USA) is a feminist artist who is best known for the Disaster Series, a series of self-portrait photographs.[1][2][3] She has had solo shows at A.I.R. Gallery (NYC), Holocene (Portland), and Constance Art Gallery (Iowa). Her photographs have been published in Venus Zine, riffRAG, 24/7, Altar.[4] From 1991-1992, she was a member of Johannes Birringer's dance theatre company—AlienNation Co. -- in Chicago, Illinois.[5] From 1997 to 2000 she studied Noh drama in Japan. Since 2005, she has performed with Justin Duerr in the self-described lo-fi craft pop band the Vivian Girls Experience, based on the work of artist Henry Darger.[6]”

Carmen Borja's additional content:

Crow earned her Bachelors from State University of New York (Geneseo) in Drama, a Masters from the Theatre from Northwestern University in Performance Studies and a Juris Doctor from New York University. Her work has been exhibited in solo shows, albums, and other publicized materials. Crow’s journey as a feminist artist stems from self-portrait photography touching on the subjects of gender, sexuality, and social constructions. Humorous tactics are reflected in her art as a preferred artistic approach to comment on American values, employment, and disasters. From 2002-2007 she has had 28 exhibitions in different states across the United States and more recently expanding to Europe. In May of 2011 Enid Crow was featured as an A.I.R. Artists on Intersecting Identities. Crow’s self portrait series include American Values, Beauty Queen, Happy Workers, Disasters, Faggot, Histories of Mustaches, Male Supremacy Complex, and Surveillance. More popular works of the self-portrait series include Disasters and Faggot. In Disasters, she mimics comical, horrifying, and fictional images of intense reactions in a catastrophic situation. Faggots are personal portraits to express her personal relationship of her bisexual partner that was into male cross-dressing. The self-portraits challenge traditional notions of masculinity and femininity in society, relationships, and self-expression. As Crow’s self portraits display herself cross dressed, she points out the subjection women face in public and private spheres (ex: cat-calling, law discrepancies, infidelity, wealth, power, and personal salary earnings).
