Peer Review for Alex Jacobs Karebear1974 (talk) 18:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Karen Inhestern
- Create a Section, such as his personal information about Alex Jacobs, and information about what his art - and what it reflects should have their own sections - A Career section could be created for Career History - A section for any awards he may have acquired - The article remains nice and neutral Karebear1974 (talk) 18:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Karen Inhestern

-Great job at getting a whole bunch of Lead information; I feel like the heart of why this page needs to exist is here. -Akwesasne Notes is likely an International Indigenous Journal, not "Native" but I'm not 100% sure about that. -Because his art is a central theme, finding ways to remove different forms of art from your writing in your Lead could remove some of the redundancy -The Lead (First Section) could be composed of three paragraphs, and I have arranged the info to reflect an Alex centered start and end with his collaboration with Janet Rodgers:

Alex Jacobs (born 1953) is an Ahkwesase Mohawk, an artist, a poet, radio host [should include what radio show]. He attended the Manitou Community College at LaMacaza, Quebec and graduated with an AFA [IS THIS A MFA OR BFA?] from the Institute of American Indian Arts [COULD THIS BE LINKED TO THEIR WIKI PAGE] in Sante Fe. He also attended a summer session at the Alfred College of Ceramics and graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute with a BFA in Sculptor and Creative Writing.[2]

Jacobs has worked as a DJ[INSERT MUSIC GENRE], talk show host[MORE THAN ONE SHOW?], news director, program director and assistant station manager for CKON, Mohawk Nation Radio. He taught art and poetry at Akwesasne Freedom School, and was artist-in-residence at the Akwesasne Museum. His art reflects his concern with both the ideal and the real [IF THIS COULD BE CITED THAT WOULD BE AWESOME]. He explores what it means to be Indian and the creation of the Indian-self. As a Mohawk with land situated across the Canada and U.S. border, he comments on the meaninglessness of borders.

He, along with Janet Rogers, make up the poetry collective Ikkwenyes. They co-produced the poetry CD Got Your Back.[1] Jacobs worked for the Mohawk Nation newspaper and Akwesasne Notes, an international native journal, as a poetry editor from 1972-1974 and a co-editor from 1983-1986.[3] He was involved with the founding of the community newspaper, Indian Time, and he co-founded Akwekon, a Native arts journal he also co-edited from 1985-1986.[3]

-Adding Early Life and Awards Headings would add some needed structure -Something to consider is how y'all want Jacobs' work and life to flow; for instance, you could take a completely chronological approach to these components, or front-load the page with his life, and back-load the page with his work and accomplishments. -Adding a Critical Reception heading could help get Indigenous and non-Indigenous Reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelBroadfoot (talk • contribs) 18:30, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
