User:Dan scott/sandbox/Writings in Architecture

• Point out the WikiProject Architecture and the related WikiProject Architecture/Assessment pages.
  • As of 2024-01-24, the latter lists 72 "high importance", 858 "medium importance", and 16,887 "low importance" stub pages that would be good candidates for enhancement efforts.
• Also the WikiProject Graphic Design and WikiProject Industrial Design pages (much smaller projects in comparison).
• Start with hands-on exercises using everyone's individual "sandbox" to get them used to the mechanics:
  • Visual editor vs. Wiki code
  • Copying and pasting a section of an existing Wikipedia article as a starting point-for example, the templates for Architecture pages
  • Adding citations for articles, books, and web sites (DOIs and ISBNs!)
    • Sonja Bata - Order of Canada in 1983 from Toronto Star
  • Linking: from your article to other articles; to external (outside of Wikipedia) resources
  • Adding images
  • Infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox architect, Template:Infobox architectural practice)
• Contribute photos, images, audio, video to Wikimedia Commons that you can add to your Wikipedia article
  • Include copyright and licensing (e.g. Architects retain copyright over building design, but photos of publicly visible buildings are acceptable)
• Touch on the community aspects of Wikipedia:
  • Talk pages (important context for existing pages)
  • Tags
  • History (more context for pages)
  • Notability & nominations for deletion (briefly)
• Complete the training modules!!!
