Heading
I am a co-editor for the Meetup/Santa Fe/ArtAndFeminism 2016 event. However I shall not be in Santa Fe but in Sun City, Arizona. I will be available to help out on some wikipedia stuff because although I am a bit of a luddite I have also been an editor for over ten years and have seen a lot of what goes on here. Anyway, I thought I would introduce myself in advance,. Also I have started several articles in my user space, which show up on the list of articles needed on the project page as blue links. I have now started publishing those. Please jump into any/all of them and add whatever you can. Particularly lacking are statements, with references, as to why those artists are notable. Otherwise feel free to edit anyway that strikes you, it's what volunteers get to do, and if you need help, let me know. Also keep in mind that publishing a new article on wikipedia does not require that the article be approved and checked over by anyone else. Often asking for this only lands you in some bureaucratic quicksand that can easily be avoided by not asking. One of the 27 rules that I live my life by is, "If you can't take 'NO' for an answer, don't ask the question." If you have a nice little article about someone you feel is notable, just publish it.

Also, if you put something, anything, on your user page then your user name will change into a blue link rather than being the red one that it is now. This suggests to others that you are not the dead end that red links suggest and that perhaps you are even a serious editor who intends to stay around. The "User Page" tab at the top left of this page will change color too. Consider it.

Hello, I'm Skyerise. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Frieda Lawrence, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
