User talk:Sanchita Islam

I am writing because I find my wikipedia page inaccurate and I would like changes to be made, I have tried to do so myself but my changes have been removed even though I am the artist in question. The information needs to be updated, I have relevant sources which would enable this to happen. It is very frustrating that my changes keep on getting removed (Sanchita Islam (talk) 04:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC))

I am not known for street art or street painting, my organisation specialises is international and local art projects as stated on my website www.pigmentexplosion.com

There is a grammatical error in the second paragraph beginning with 'After people...' Why can't I correct that? It should read 'They were more interested'

I have done over 90 group and solo shows (again this can be verified by referencing my CV on the pigmentexplosion website

I have published 9 books and made 16 films which have been screened in London, New York, Paris, Dhaka, Kuala Lumpur, Pakistan, Frankfurt and Yangon.

(the information on the wikipedia site is incorrect but if you reference my biog below you can correct all these factual errors.

Here is an updated biog:
