Birthdate

edit

@CT55555 and @Star Mississippi, The article currently states that she was born in 1983 or 1984, however this source states 1980. [1] (Ocula is a well respected online art & culture magazine, not sure if they have a print version.) I will see what else may be found... BTW, I agree that she is likely notable, am also looking for museum collections momentarily. Netherzone (talk) 16:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I updated it from 1980 as that was unsourced, I don't consider my source to be gold standard, so 1980 likely true. CT55555(talk) 16:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Mutual art also claims 1980, [2], but it's more of an auction-type site, rather than art historical. If we can find a work in a museum collection, they almost always include the birth year. Still looking...she's shown in lots of museums, but having a little trouble finding a collection. Netherzone (talk) 16:50, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think she is absolutely notable, the The churchie emerging art prize alone should satisfy WP:ANYBIO but loads of coverage, easily WP:BASIC, I'm a bit overwhelmed with so much info about her, although often passing mentions. I assume the book about her is not independent, but running on assumptions currently, normally someone writing a book about a subject would cement notability.

She definitely is notable based on her awards, including a $60,000 fellowship from the Australia Council for the Arts, and she has done permanent public artworks, so I think she meets WP:NARTIST also. It's probably safe to move it to article space. Thanks for your great work on this, CT5. Netherzone (talk) 17:33, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you both. I was offline for a few hours so just seeing this.
Amazing work/research. Star Mississippi 19:29, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Copyvio

edit

I ran the article thru the copyvio tool, which did not find anything to be concerned about, however when I compared the article to the artist's own website, there are sentences that are copied word for word, see here:[3] I'll try to clean that up.
