Article Evaluation[edit]
The article on Josh Faught is a well organized piece that speaks on his background and career as an artist. It contains a neutral standpoint as it mainly focuses on his style of art and the success he encountered. Although the article is quite informative, the information on Josh Faught can be perceived as an under-representation of his work as the editor doesn't acknowledge his success from more recent memories. Along with the facts that were given about Josh Faught, we were also given access to the origin of the information with a list of references at the bottom of the page. The links in the reference section were quite helpful as we gained direct access to Elissa Auther's "He is survived by his longtime companion: Feeling in the Work of Josh Faught"[1], which speaks on the Faught's pieces, and his influence in the art world. Also appearing to be non-biased, the article gives information that is up to date but should be provided with newer references as most of the facts originate from the early 2010s time period. The article's talk page did not contain much conversation material but did provide an editor's wish to add more personal information on Josh Faught such as his personal beliefs, culture, and his work that related to the AIDs epidemic. This article is rated start-class and is a part of the WikiProject biography and visual arts. Compared to our class discussions, this article focuses more on the success of Mr. Faught but should also include more background information on his education and life before his interest in creating his unique art styles. What truly inspired Josh Faught to enter the scene of visionary art? Asuguitan (talk) 19:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
According to the article, Fiber Art: The Queer Kid on the Bus by Steven Frost,[6] "approaches the impediments of feminism, hobby craft, and queer history with a sense of reverence and anxiety." His artwork represents the hardships of gay individuals and fiber artists to conform in our society while staying innovative. Asuguitan (talk) 21:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Josh Faught Article Suggestions edit
For this article I would highly recommend adding an info-box that contained when he was born what his art interest is and if possible an image of the artist him self so people can know what he looks like. Another suggestion would be to add images of his artwork to put on the article to give readers a view of what kind of work Faught produces. Their is good information so far but if possible it would be very beneficial to add some information on his early life and more on his educational background.
