Wikipedia:WikiProject London/Public art

Welcome to the public art task force of WikiProject London!

Scope
The public art task force of the London WikiProject is dedicated to completing the coverage of London's public artworks and memorials on Wikipedia, both by creating new articles and by maintaining the lists of works in each borough. It also grades articles according to their quality and importance. Anyone may join or contribute – you don't have to be in London.

Goals

 * Complete coverage of London's public art on Wikipedia!
 * Articles on every significant artwork, particularly those which are listed at Grades I and II*.
 * All artworks listed at Grades I and II* have articles as of September 2022.
 * Completing the borough lists and standardising them using Public art row and related templates. Eventually it might be possible to generate metadata from these on Wikidata.
 * When the borough lists are complete, collecting them as a Featured topic.

Things you can do

 * Create an article from the list below, or improve an existing article.
 * The list of popular pages within this project's scope is a good indicator of which articles are most in need of attention.
 * Check that a corresponding Wikidata entry exists, and is complete and accurate. See here for lists of all Wikidata items for public artworks in London.
 * Tag and grade articles, and add short descriptions.
 * Take photos! See the list below, or the individual borough lists for gaps.
 * Add them to Commons:Category:Public art in London, or one of its subcategories.
 * Add any reference works or useful links we might have missed to the Resources below.
