Wikipedia talk:GLAM/Rutgers

We can probably build article sandboxes as subpages of these project pages.
Hi, everyone,

I enjoyed meeting several of you for the first time in the conference telephone call. As we left that meeting, I was pondering the issue of setting up user sandboxes to start article drafts. It occurs to me that with proper tagging, those article sandboxes could be built as subpages of this GLAM/Rutgers project space. What do you think? (Hat tip to Staticshakedown for drawing my attention to these project pages.) See you all on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 13:15, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, it is already possible to find these pages by Googling "GLAM Rutgers." Cool. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 01:12, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Project banner
There is a project banner template at Template:WikiProject RUL-related which has not been set up very well. The documentation at does not seem to have been followed, and so there are a number of error messages relating to uncreated categories. If these categories are created using the "create" links provided, further errors result. I strongly suspect that these errors are because of the discrepancy between the banner template's name and its PROJECT parameter, and the fact that no page named either WikiProject Rutgers University Libraries-related or WikiProject RUL-related exists.

Also, it is very rare for a WikiProject or its banner to have the word "related" in its name.

Further problems are that is categorised inside itself (this causes it to show in Database reports/Self-categorized categories); and that  is not in any categories. -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:50, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help and comments. This was my first time creating something like this so I'm not surprised I did it wrong. I mimicked the naming from the Template:WikiProject Museu Picasso-related GLAM project but I see now that maybe that wasn't a good idea to follow. I'll work on fixing it some more or scraping the template soon after reading more about the proper documentation. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 16:18, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing to the banner documentation. I appreciate that our fellow editor on this project built the banner boldly, as I would have been completely puzzled about how to do that, and the banner has already been useful for the new project. We're all about encouraging more collaboration among Wikipedia editors, so I'm glad that you pointed to the fine documentation with a specific description about how to fix some of the problems. I'll go read the documentation now for future reference. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 17:26, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I notice that Template:WikiProject Museu Picasso-related also has red error messages. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:22, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Joint bibliography for project
Being back now from my summer work, I've begun a joint bibliography for articles in the scope of this project on a new subpage. I'll try to update references to Wikipedia citation template format with links to external databases like PubMed and JSTOR as I go along. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 16:36, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Are the librarians on board Wikipedia now?
Just checking, wondering how much of the library staff is visiting the GLAM Rutgers project pages here. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:54, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Userboxes
anyone want Userboxes?
