 Guidance and artist list for edit-a-thon, Tweed Regional Gallery, Saturday 

The National Gallery of Australia, Wikimedia Australia and Tweed Regional Gallery are holding an edit-a-thon on Saturday [date] in the Tweed Regional Gallery. Register here [link]. The event also has a Dashboard [link] for collecting information on the work done during the edit-a-thon.

The artist list below includes existing articles that need more information added to them or artists or organisations who need to have an article created. Beginners to Wikipedia may want to practise by adding more information to an existing article. For those who are more confident about writing on Wikipedia, you could choose to create a new article. There are detailed instructions in the comments column of the table below.

Artist: The redlinked names show there is no page for that artist or organisation. You can start drafting an article for that artist or organisation in your sandbox. If the name has a bluelink, there is an existing article on Wikipedia, but it might need more information added to it.

WD: The WD column gives the wikidata item number for the artist. Wikidata is a database providing information and data about a person or a subject. You can click on the number through to wikidata and find more reference sources about the artist. If you are a new editor you don't have to add to the wikidata item, you can just use it as source of information.

Resources: This column provides links to some open access sites where users can find information about the artist to include in her article. If the artist already has an article, you can also refer to the list of references at the bottom of her page. See also lists of online information sources about artists on the Know My Name project page.

Comments: The comments suggest either improvements to be made to existing articles or an article which could be created for an artist. Editors who are new to Wikipedia may want to practise making edits first on the "Add more information" articles. Confident editors may like to start a new article. If you want to write a new article for an artist who is not on the list, please talk to one of the facilitators first to help you assess if the artist is notable enough to have an article according to Wikipedia criteria.


 * If you add information to an existing article, always insert a citation to a reference source after each sentence or exhibition title if it is in a list. See: Citing sources. For examples of citations to references including a reference for each exhibition see: Elizabeth Gower, Polixeni Papapetrou, Marcella Hempel, Rosalie Gascoigne


 * If you start a new article for an artist it is important that you add in enough information in the first paragraphs to show they are notable. See:Notability (people), Notability (people), Manual of Style/Biography. For examples of notability shown in lead paragraphs see: Dorrit Black, Vivienne Binns, Grace Cossington Smith.
