About Me
I am a special collections archivist with a Master's degree in Library and Information Science and Bachelor of Art degrees in American Ethnic Studies and English. I aim to contribute accurate and useful information about art, artists, and visual culture, as well as other topics of personal interest.
Conflict of Interest Statement
I, kayakabu, am an employee of the Getty Research Institute, a cultural institution per WP:GLAM that is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of the visual arts and art history.
I follow editing guidelines specified at WP:GLAM. When editing articles, I try to refer researchers to related primary sources in libraries and archives. I do occasionally insert links to archival resources held by the Getty Research Institute, my employer, only when they are pertinent to a topic.
My intent is to make edits that are beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia. If my edits are deemed not beneficial, I will modify my edits based on problems cited by other editors or if my edits conflict with Wikipedia guidelines. I welcome editors to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against Wikipedia etiquette or editorial guidelines.
