Update, Draft:Jolene Rickard

Hi again, Lasouvagesse,

I converted the bare urls so far, except for the one to the list of Hemispheric Institute journals. The citations that are consolidated follow Wikipedia's preferred citation format, listing each reference only once, and using a unique <ref name => in the code to link back to the original citation.

I also ran a check for copyright issues, which shows problem areas that should disappear once you work through the lists of curatorial projects, and books, essays, and edited volumes. Just be careful to paraphrase, where possible. For example, "Rebecca Belmore: Fountain, Jolene Rickard and Jessica Bradley. Canadian entrant for the Venice Biennale 2005." could be paraphrased, "A book Ricard co-authored with Jessica Bradley, Rebecca Belmore: Fountain, was the Canadian entrant for the 2005 Venice Biennial." If you would rather have a bulleted list, to avoid copyright issues, vary the order of each item, moving the dates, possibly re-ordering items in the list to chronological order, rather than revers chronological. Note, though, that he copyvio detector always lists proper nouns as possible copyvio, which you can ignore.

Let me know if you have other questions or need help. You are off to a terrific start. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
