Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 29 August 2019 and 19 December 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Alyssabri99. Peer reviewers: Stevengordillo.
So far, this article on Jacqueline Casey has some basic information about her. Others who have edited this article have included her birth and death date and her title as a graphic designer. The article has some details on what she majored in during her time at university, and what she did after graduating. Also included is information on some art pieces Jacqueline Casey had created, and background information on who she worked with during her time being a graphic designer. It has a list of awards and honors she received for her work as well.
Despite having basic information in several different sections of the article, it is missing a lot of details. I want to fix this and try to find as many reliable sources as possible and go into more detail in each section of this article. The lead section is only one sentence right now, it is relatively underdeveloped. I would like to try and expand the lead to give further information on who Jacqueline Casey is and her impact in the Graphic Design field. I would also like to find a photo of her that is part of the Creative Commons database.
For the “Background” section, I want to try and find information online about her childhood and upbringing. As of right now, this section is very vague, it just states the year and state in which Casey was born in one sentence, and the next sentence specifies where she went to college. I would like to fill in the gap of time in between that. I might even combine the lead with this section, or just have the vague details of her background in the lead, with more in depth details added in the “Background” section itself. The last sentence in this section is also considerably vague. I would like to rewrite that sentence and add information after it, going into more detail on what ‘work’ the sentence prior is referring to.
The next section is titled, “MIT.” I would change the name to either the full name, “Massachusetts Institute of Technology,” or something completely different, because I think that name sounds a bit odd to use as a whole section name. If possible, I’ll add even more information here if I could find it, but if not, I will fix some sentences and edit the way they are organized.
The next section is “Legacy.” It states that Jacqueline Casey donated 99 posters that she created to the Rochester Institute of Technology. I would like to try and find these posters online to add more information about them. In addition to this, I want to try and find a list of all works she created throughout her life, and make a list of them in this article, so that people could easily find her work through her Wiki article.
The last two sections are “Awards and Honors” and “Further Reading.” The “Awards and Honors” section seems well developed, all I would do for that section is search for any more awards or honors she might have received, so I could add it to the list. I would do the same for the “Further Reading” section, doing some research to find out if there are any more texts she wrote or helped write.Alyssabri99 (talk) 06:58, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
