I'm New! I Just Posted LORRIE GOULET : : Need Wiki Sherpa!

Dear Jim,
Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge - your enthusiasm and commitment are very inspiring.
I'd appreciate your help on getting "Lorrie Goulet" reviewed and improved. Lorrie is one of our greatest living American artists - not just a scupltor and painter, but a philosopher and poet. A team of volunteers here in NYC have been working with her going through a vast archive she has built in her beautiful studio in Chelsea. Many of the papers, photos and films about her and her husband (Jose de Creeft) are in the Smithsonian and other institutions which we'll be visiting over the next few weeks to further enhance the story. We are working on a few books and documentaries and were surprised Lorrie didn't have a Wiki years ago.

- Hello Cynthia Artin. Please remove the promotional material from your user page. That page should introduce you as a Wikipedia editor but the current version promotes your business interests. I have read Lorrie Goulet and agree that the artist is notable. Thank you for starting the article. Please be aware, though, that it is essential and a matter of policy that a biography of a living person be properly referenced. Every factual assertion should be cited to a reliable source, in the form of inline references. Please see Referencing for beginners.
- The list of exhibitions and museum holdings is excessive and should be trimmed to the most important. Each entry on the list should be cited to a reliable, independent source. Her education should be described in prose, not list form. Currently, the article looks way too much like a curriculm vitae instead of an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn, nor is it a repository for the kind of brochures that art galleries hand out praising the artists whose work they sell. Accordingly, any praise or evaluation of her work must be cited to an independent expert source. Every direct quotation must be cited.
- I recommend trimming the article by about 50%, an exercise which will result in a much leaner, fact based style. The article will be better for it, in my opinion. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 22:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
