Welcome!
Hello, KayElleKay, 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) 14:14, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Draft notes
Hi! I have some notes for you on your draft:


 * I see that you have a lot of list formats in your draft. Make sure that you put these in prose format before you move the article live, with the exception of the works section - that's fine to have in a list format.
 * Be careful of wording. Avoid things like "countless" because it's vague and also incorrect - the amount of works any person has created is finite, so I would instead use the words "several" or "multiple". They're still sort of vague, but they refer to a set number instead of an unlimited amount of artworks.


 * When listing her works, I would just list her artworks and mention that she has written for various publications. Traditionally Wikipedia doesn't list individual articles someone writes for news outlets unless those pieces have received coverage. In this vein, Wikipedia also typically doesn't list when someone is thanked in a foreword for a book or article. The reason for this is that thanks are relatively common, at least common enough to where a single person may be thanked in a dozen different pieces. Those don't count towards notability and are typically seen as random, indiscriminate information as far as Wikipedia is concerned.


 * The information about works section could be renamed into a career section - I would include some of the content in the biography section.


 * Some of the sourcing is primary. You can use primary sources to back up basic information, but be aware that they cannot show notability. A primary source would be anything released by the artist herself or by a person, institution, or organization affiliated with her. So for example, anything released by UC Davis or one of her universities would be seen as primary. I see that there are some non-primary sources, but what you definitely want to find are sources that go into depth about Biscarra-Dilley and/or review her work.

I hope this helps! I've made some tweaks to the page to do things like add an infobox for you. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:13, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
