 WikiProject Visual Arts WikiProject Visual arts, a sub-project of WikiProject Arts, is a place for Wikipedians to discuss issues and organize information about the visual arts. Like any page on Wikipedia, all are welcome to edit and contribute to this WikiProject. Rather than try to force information to appear in a uniform way, this WikiProject presents guidelines to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. These recommendations for creating visual arts content are based on various Wikipedia style guides and common practices for writing good articles. Use your own judgment in applying these guidelines, along with other Wikipedia guidelines, to compose articles and be bold. If you would like to help, see the How to help section below and ask questions on the talk page. Feel free to add your name to the participants list and/or add the project userbox {{User WikiProject Visual arts}} to your user page. The project seeks to improve the quality of articles related to the visual arts. The main category that represents articles that fall within the scope of this project is Category:Visual arts (Category:Art has merged into this). A proposed schema for the various subcategories that would also fall within the scope of this project can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Art_categories. - To provide a place to discuss common issues on visual arts related pages.
- To thoroughly explore the visual arts globally and historically.
- To ensure all pages meet the standards of Wikipedia:Cite sources. See also WikiProject Fact and Reference Check.
- To manage editing of the Visual Arts portal.
- To discuss and categorize project pages.
[edit] How to help How you can help depends on your time, resources, and interest. Here are a variety of ideas for contributions ranging from simple to complex.
