Dates / details

In the succeeding paragraphs:

"During 1935 Furedi was accepted into the Public Works of Art Project."

"After the Public Works of Art Project was closed down in 1934 Furedi joined the Federal Art Project."

Um, huh? I think the first date in wrong by a year or two...

In the section Artistic career:

"There is no information about her life before the passenger arrival list of December 4, 1927, which records these facts."

But then within Personal information there is, well, the first 4 or 5 sentences there with various details. Huh?

Thanks, Shenme. The PWAP began in December 1933 and the Corcoran show opened in April 1934. I've corrected the date and deleted the statement about knowledge of her life prior to 1927. -- Delabrede (talk) 20:24, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
