Hi, Please learn how to add references correctly to the article Tara Bryan. To find out how, read Help:Referencing for beginners Embedded links are not allowed in the main space of articles. Thanks. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 14:31, 9 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Yes, I am trying to lear how to enter the references correctly.  It is not that straightforward for a beginner.
 * PS. I am Tara Bryan's sister so I do have a lot of references and information about her work. Itsjustahill (talk) 14:40, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In that case you may want to read Autobiography, Edit requests, Conflict of interest, and Notable person survival kit before doing any more editing on the article about your sister. The rules are in place to keep the integrity of the encyclopedia. You may want to direct your efforts to working on https://tarabryan.com/ instead.

 * Thank you for pointing this out. FYI, my only interest is to include facts like what awards she won, in what collections her paintings and books reside.  I will be diligent about including verifiable references for those facts. Itsjustahill (talk) 16:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, FYI, I created the article in March when I was working on book artists in the collection of the NMWA. Included in the article are important collections that show that Bryan is a notable artist. Adding every award and every collection does not necessary make the article better. Additionally some of the changes you made like adding The Rooms, Newfoundland Provincial Museum point to an exhibition, not a collection, with no evidence that the item is in the collection, so the information is wrong as cited. If you really want to help your sister's place in history, I suggest you let the article grow organically with contribution from independent editors. It is very beautiful work .  --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:18, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. First of all, thank you for creating this article. Female artists need to be acknowledged and represented.
 * Please appreciate that I am learning to do proper citations and please give me a chance to learn. The Rooms does in fact own several of Tara's paintings and books in their collection.  I agree that the link should have been a citation which you did not give me have a chance to fix.
 * Your implication that I was trying to add every award or every collection is overblown and incorrect and feels judgmental and unfair. But the article as it stands is not complete and would benefit from additions.
 * And finally, I disagree that you needed to revert my factual additions. Please consider allowing others to contribute. Itsjustahill (talk) 18:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
