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 |The 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!!!
