Wikipedia:WikiProject Children's literature

Hello and welcome to WikiProject Children's Literature, a WikiProject to better organize information in articles related to children's and young adult literature!

Project scope
This project is dedicated to improving the quality of coverage of children's and young adult literature on Wikipedia. The main aims of this WikiProject are to:
 * Improve the overall quality of articles relating to children's and young adult literature, including books, authors, and scholarship
 * Identify those articles which need to be created, merged, or deleted
 * Improve the categorization of these articles
 * Define easily maintainable, usable, and well-documented templates and infoboxes related to this WikiProject
 * Improve source citation in all these articles
 * Propose criteria for (author, book, etc.) list creation and inclusion
 * Expand stub articles relating to children's literature
 * Perform cleanup on articles

The topics covered by this WikiProject include any articles about children's or young adult books, magazines, short stories, poetry or fictional elements; authors, illustrators and publishers of children's and young adult books; awards for children's and young adult books; and articles relating to the scholarship of children's and young adult literature. Notable exceptions to this scope include redirect pages, and articles about adaptations of children's literature in a non-literary medium, such as musicals and films.

You can also help with any of the following project tasks:

Resources
This is a list of useful pages which are outside of this project, but may still be useful to project participants.

Notability
All articles in this project should meet the notability guidelines relevant to their subject. Please read these guidelines carefully before creating any new articles. All articles should also meet general Wikipedia guidelines such as a neutral point of view, verifiability and no original research before being created. Any articles about living persons must also meet the criteria listed at Biography of Living Persons.

Authors should meet the notability criteria for creative professionals. Authors are generally notable if:
 * The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for one.
 * The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field.
 * The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.
 * The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
 * The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
 * The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums, or had works in many significant libraries.

Books should meet the criteria for book notability. Books are generally notable if:
 * The book has been the subject of multiple published works, including books, films and newspaper articles, whose sources are independent of the book and its self-interested parties. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary.
 * The book has won a major literary award.
 * The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to any other notable subject, such as a motion picture, art form, event or political or religious movement.
 * The book is frequently taught at a large number of educational institutions.
 * The book's author is so historically significant that any of their written works may be considered notable.

Individual articles on characters, locations, and other elements of a work of fiction are subject to Wikipedia's fictional elements notability guidelines — be aware of these guidelines before creating articles. Generally, these elements should be part of a significant work of fiction, and should have received significant coverage outside of this work of fiction.

Article improvement
Some helpful guides about writing articles in general may be:
 * Getting started
 * How to write a great article
 * The perfect article
 * Article assessment
 * How to upload images

One of the most difficult parts of article writing to achieve is the citation of reliable sources:
 * Verifiability of sources
 * How to cite sources
 * Citing sources using templates
 * Quick reference citation templates
 * Children's sources questionable on reliability for adult-level content (essay)

For nominating articles to good article status:
 * Good article criteria
 * Guide for nominating good articles
 * Good article review cheatsheet
 * Good article nominations

For nominating articles to featured article status:
 * Feature article criteria
 * The differences between good and featured articles
 * How to satisfy Criterion 1a

Style
All articles should conform to the relevant Wikipedia style guides. Some helpful resources include:
 * WikiProject Novels/Style guidelines – a layout guide maintained by WikiProject Novels specifically for articles about novels.
 * Manual of Style – a collection of basic rules about all Wikipedia articles.
 * Manual of Style (writing about fiction) – a collection of rules for articles about fiction.
