Hi --  I'm, and I've edited the Amy Sherald article recently. Thank you for adding to it. I moved the information you added to the "Personal life" section into a new "Early life" section at the beginning of the article. It is certainly great to have some of that new information! I have a question about what you added -- I can't see the source because it requires a login to St. Olaf Library. That's fine -- but it looks like the source may be an interview with Sherald? If that's the case, then we probably need to change how the section is written to make it clear that all the information is "according to Sherald". The reason is because Wikipedia relies on secondary sources, and an interview is a primary source. We can sometimes use interviews as sources for uncontroversial details (and I think this is one of those cases), but we should make sure the reader knows that the information came directly from the subject, and wasn't otherwise verified. If you're interested, here's an essay that explains this in more detail.

Other than that, there's still a lot more work that the article needs, and I haven't been able to get around to spending much time on it. Please let me know if you're interested in collaborating -- I have a list of sources that we could go through. Or let me know if you need any other help being new to Wikipedia -- we're glad you're here. You can reply to this message by editing the page and adding your response under mine, and then publishing. -- Cloud atlas (talk) 04:30, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
