Rebeca Mendez Wikipedia article has a very short biography compared to many of the biographies in many of the websites that feature a biography and work of her. Trying to bring some of those biographies into the Wikipedia article would help the article become stronger and highlight the work that she has accomplished and what her career really looks like as a whole instead of just stating what she studied and what her most known work is. She has done so much in design that the Wikipedia article does not give justice to. My work plan on Rebeca Mendez biography Wikipedia page is to get more familiar with the work she directly shares online as an artist. To get more familiar with the work that she shares on her website and the following and demand of her work. Knowing the current job that this artists has is important since she is a professor and has many other roles in her hometown and outside. One big goal to approach for this Wikipedia biography page is to try to reach out to anybody who has a picture of this artist. If someone is able to prove that they have taken a photo of this artist and have full ownership of this photo, it could be possible to then, upload the photo and credit it to the person who took the photo. It should be a better idea to reach out to Rebeca Mendez directly to ask if she has any photos that she has full right of but since she has a following maybe they can provide a photo. Even if she has a photo that someone else took, she has to have full right of the photo because who ever took it is technically the owner of the photo even though she is an artist on this photo. Updating awards is something very important, taking information from her website would be a great way to find out if the awards match up and see if she has recently received any other awards that have not yet been written into the Wikipedia biography. Something I noticed is that this artist has actual film credits as well, they are not listen on the Wikipedia article and it’s sad to find this during my research. Something that might also be added to this Wikipedia article that most likely will not be added but it’s worth a try, is to add a section of her personal life and maybe interview her about why she became and artists and how besides her education and everything she’s achieved. There is a “works” section that again does not match with the work in her biographies and must be updates as well. Her biography seems pretty much mainstreamed and it’s not doing justice to what she believes in mostly with design. Her article then, has a section about Featured works which makes since but most of her work is featured work and does not have much information under that section so it’s something to speculate whether her work should only just be works or if featured works even makes since because she is an artist and most of her work would eventually be featured in many places. I’m currently looking for people who might know her and possibly even making contact with the artist to confirm the movie credits amongst other details within the article. Lastly, any incorrectly edited sentences. Grammar and many organization of thoughts within the article that don’t make sense to me but keeping in mind that the article was improved during an Art and feminism edit-a-thon in 2016 and it having a BPL policy- biography of living person
