Wikipedia:GLAM/State Library of Western Australia/The Newspaper Project

The State Library of Western Australia, with assistance from Wikimedia Australia, started a project to write Wikipedia articles about current and historic Western Australian newspapers (those that are digitised in Trove).

The Newspaper Project encompasses both list articles and articles on individual newspapers. The project includes creating/editing articles for WA newspapers as they are digitised by the National Library of Australia as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program. The list article of current and historic newspapers published in WA will be updated as part of the project.

Overall process

 * 1) Newspapers in Australia: update some specific information in this article relating to WA newspapers.
 * 2) Create regional lists of newspapers, for example Pilbara newspapers.
 * 3) Update the List of non-English-language newspapers in Western Australia
 * 4) List of newspapers in Australia: update this list and link to the master list for WA.
 * 5) Example of article on an individual newspaper: develop articles on individual newspapers (linked from the master list).

Detailed process
The detailed process for creating Newspaper articles in Wikipedia is set out at Newspaper project procedures.
