Hi Mr. Martin,

I expect nothing less than the best from you and this wiki is definitely up to your usual high-quality standards. As a fan of the fine/visual arts, I'm happy that you chose to cover this topic, as I think you will do a great job with it. The following comments are just my own thoughts and preferences, hence, take it with a pinch of salt.

I like that you explain and clarify what "fine arts" encompasses, but I feel that it would be more useful to connect the reader with the archival aspect first and then go into the explanation (but this is just a personal preference). Given this, kind of curious why you didn't go with "Visual Arts" as your title, instead of "Fine Arts"? Not a big deal though.

Your "Issues" section is great and I like how extensive it is. I find challenges and issues are always hard to talk about, but always the most interesting read. Like what you've done here.

Are you planning on looking at archives outside of North America?

Only because someone pointed this out on my wiki, and I see a little bit of it on yours, do you think you/we are using too many quotes and references to scholars that may not mean much to others? People have been telling me to write with a more general tone, as opposed to an academic-essay style.

Keep promoting the fine arts my friend, great job.

Take care,

V
