Welcome
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:02, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alice! Your writing and sourcing are good, however you need to make sure that you attribute claims to specific critics or writers. On Wikipedia we try to avoid making definitive statements that someone is something unless it's very commonly written and in the case of saying that someone's work represents something, it's better to say something like "critics say that" or "according to (insert names)..." since that comes across as more neutral. (I assume that the content you are going to add is in bold, so I only looked at that.)

Offhand the only sentences that I would say need to be tweaked are "Kent Monkman is just one example of native artists who are incorporating new media into their artistic practice as "decolonizing tools" and as modes of gaining visibility and representation in the art world" and "Monkman's queer alter ego, Miss Chief, embodies the hybridity and the intersectionality of his queer and Native identity. Monkman uses both European and Native traditions of "storytelling and myth-making"[1] to gain visibility in the art world. Monkman uses performance as a way to connect to his ancestry but as a way to signify the presence of Native Americans in society today." The other content is good. :) Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:43, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alice, I'm an administrator on Wikipedia. Please look at the changes you made here in formatting:. They do not fit into our manual of style for section headers. Please replace the section headers using the format you removed. As you are a student I'll give you a chance to look at the formatting and correct this instead of simply reverting you. But if you can't get to it relatively promptly, one of us will likely have to revert your edit to keep the article in line with Wikipedia conventions. Thanks. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 20:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Hello again. Contributing to WP means you will need to check in regularly, not only on days when your class meets. Since you did not respond in a timely manner I had to revert your contributions. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 17:45, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
