- Ah. Now I see your Draft:V. Mitch McEwen Jim.henderson (talk) 21:45, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, @Jim.henderson, I was editing there. They asked folks to start pages for some of the biographies they wanted to see go up. I started to work on this draft for others to pick up after me. E.Libertad (talk) 11:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Notes/Sources for V. Mitch McEwen draft
[edit]Hello! I added a list of sources to the talk page of your V. Mitch McEwen draft. There are 20+ sources, including basics (assistant prof position, architecture firm, education, nonprofit/gallery), significant works (primarily "House Opera | Opera House"), and recent notable coverage (work 3D-printing COVID-19 equipment & public statements concerning MoMA's affiliation with white supremacist Philip Johnson).
Also, there's a great architect "infobox" template: all you have to do is copy that big chunk of text under "usage," paste it into the top of your draft, & then fill in anything you can confirm online––that will probably be name, alma mater, spouse (they had an announcement in the NYT), practice (firm), significant projects, and that Atelier website (birth date and birth place if you can find an article that confirms them). You can leave all of the other text there; the only stuff that will show up is what you've filled in, and the formatting will hide the explanatory comments. I'd recommend doing that next, just because it's easy but looks really satisfying. :)
Good luck! Once you have an article in place, feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you want help double-checking formatting for references. // Knifegames (talk) 16:07, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
