The lead section of the article is underdeveloped, which I assume might be connected to the 'living persons' stipulations of wikipedia limits on what can be posted regarding living persons. The sources are peer-reviewed, which is great for reliability, but they span a nineteen year gap. Would finding some sources in between lend more validity? I also noticed that the inline citations are sparse, which I think should be remedied. Again, I'm wondering if the reason the article is shorter is because of the 'biography of living persons' concerns. Mhenkelman (talk) 16:05, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Mhenkelman
A list of sources that I'm considering for updating the article, suggestions welcome!

Not to just reiterate the Wikipedia notice on the article itself, but the article would be much more compelling should the introductory paragraph be beefed up; a substantial introduction would catch the eye and invite an in-depth reader by the visitor. Is Sander currently teaching or lecturing anywhere? It might be interesting to place what she's currently up to in the introductory paragraph. If she's still active in the field, that would be even more of a reason for the reader to become invested in her as a figure.
Unless I missed it, the section about her early life and education does not have any inline citations.
Perhaps a section about her overall film style or the particular themes she explores as a director and writer would help tie all her work together. (Her use of filters is mentioned in a paragraph above some of her more notable works, but perhaps this could be a standalone section.) I've noticed a good numbers of articles about artists incorporate this overarching information, as it helps the reader draw connections between as well as differentiate artists of the same school of thought, time period, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenmcorrigan (talk • contribs) 01:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
I definitely intend to flesh out the introduction. I'm hoping to include a statement from Helke Sander on her work, and also integrate her activism. Helke's work is available for rental requests and teaching purposes, but it seems that there are no recent events or contributions, as far as I can tell from her personal page--her last updated event occurred in 2014. However, she has been honored by several institutes, so that might be a good point to bring up!
Thanks for the heads up--I added inline citations to the section on her early life and education, a section created by a previous user.
Thanks for the recommendation: I integrated the particular themes into her work section.Mhenkelman (talk) 16:54, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
