@Dillbug, Dmcgonagill, JVbird, JenniferMGA, Mango Masala, Namir Riptide, Sherita Sims-Jones, and Waebo: OK, our job here is to write a concise 200-word bio of NCM. Since we're all experts, this should be pretty straightforward. All references in the shared drive should be used, which might present a bit more of a challenge. This is the big writing assignment for this week, and I see no one has begun, so consider this the 🔥. 😁 —Grlucas (talk) 17:30, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Grlucas: Thanks for the fire! It's on my to-do list for today, after I finish my last set of papers. only 12 more to go. Then a 200 word bio. JVbird (talk) 17:36, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Grlucas: Thanks for the update. I have been working on the 12 letters for the project mailer, but I do have some information to add for the bio. Waebo (talk) 01:53, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Grlucas: @JVbird: @Waebo: Okay, I think I have gotten the bio down to 200 words or less. Please check it out and tell me your thoughts. If we could all work on adding all the citations into the bio and any links you think we need we can get this task completed and not catch the wrath of Grlucas!--Dillbug (talk) 02:57, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Grlucas: @JVbird: @Waebo: @Dillbug: @Dmcgonagill: @JenniferMGA: @Namir Riptide: @Sherita Sims-Jones:Looking good, everyone! I've made some edits and added italics. I think we're about 28 words too long; I'm going to look through the NCM articles in the Google Drive to ensure we've used everything and will also work on the citations.Mango Masala (talk) 18:57, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

- @Mango Masala: I'll also go in one more time and see if I can cut some as well, Mariam. The citations are definitely missing. I'll help with that right away as well. JVbird (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Waebo: @Dillbug: @Dmcgonagill: @JenniferMGA: @Namir Riptide: @Sherita Sims-Jones: Also, the Tulsa World source has a bit of a different take on a couple of things. The Executioner's Song was a TV movie, whereas the bio may be slightly off if we call it a movie? I'm also rethinking my description of the memoir as chronicling their marriage. That may be too specific. It's not just about their marriage, right? We may have to adjust the description of Art to paintings in her one-woman shows. What do you all think? Might need to just double check facts here a bit... JVbird (talk) 19:47, April 6 2019 (UTC)
