User:Planetneutral

Librarian by trade. My main focus has been on improving the organization and participation in the WikiProject Visual arts and the Portal:Visual arts. Right now, it's all about getting the Portal:Visual arts to featured portal status. Also working on the LIS portal.

I have particular interest in Tuscan painters and do some maintenance work on dab pages.

Pages I regularly monitor to minimize links to dab pages

1. Wild card (links)
2. New Wave (links)
3. Sprint (links)
4. Western (links)
5. Series (links)
6. Catalog (links)
7. Saint Paul (links)

I also like to keep Category:Art clear of entries.

Things I've Added to Wikipedia

I've only created four entries:

• New Wave (design)
• Giovanni da Milano
• Vincent Award
• American Libraries

I've also created some templates:

• {{needs artist infobox}}
• {{Template:Visual arts}}
• {{Template:User WikiProject Visual arts}}
• {{Template:WP_Visual_Arts_Sidebar}}

and a few associated categories:

• Category:Articles that need an artist infobox
• Category:WikiProject Visual arts participants
• Category:WikiProject Visual arts articles
• Category:WikiProject Visual arts categories

I also set up the assessment categories for the WikiProject Visual arts.

Ideas and to do list

• Develop template to invite people to WP:WPVA
• Identify common format for artist articles
  • Set up Template:Artist in the vein of Template:Biography and make it subst'able
• Articles to work on:
  • Taddeo Gaddi
  • Rosso Fiorentino
  • Giovanni da Milano
