Sources
[edit]I'm going to be working on this article -- and have found some news and book sources, not a lot, but some. Otherwise, there are a lot of galleries that have information about Ms. Lefcort, but it seems to me that they weren't considered impartial, reliable sources:
- http://disney.myincredible.com/store/artists/allison-lefcort-1.html
- https://www.artbrokerage.com/Allison-Lefcort/prints
- http://www.artnet.com/artists/allison-lefcort/past-auction-results
- http://artinsights.com/artists/lefcort-allison/
There's also what appears to be an image/marketing consulting firm that has a blog-like article about her: http://hummingbird-comms.com/index.php/tag/allison-lefcort/
Are any of these sources I could use? Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, they're almost all PR sites, which I wouldn't trust for their degree of editorial oversight. I feel best about Artnet, but there's little there for you to use, no? The rest, I would deem unreliable. I would recommend looking in books or other printed sources.

[edit]Here's the information that I'm unable to find reliable sources for (i.e., original research?)

Lefcort interpreted Disney characters for other special events, including the Disneyana Conventions (1999–2001).
