{{Template:WP_Visual_Arts_Sidebar}} {{ Shortcut |WP:WPVA}} '''WikiProject Visual arts''' is a place for [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]]. Rather than try to force information to appear in a uniform way, this WikiProject presents guidelines to focus the effects of other Wikipedians. These recommendations about Visual arts content are based on various Wikipedia [[:Category:Wikipedia style guidelines|style guides]] and common practices for [[Wikipedia:The perfect article|writing good articles]]. Use your own judgment in applying these guidelines, as well as all Wikipedia guidelines, to compose articles and [[WP:BB|be bold]]. If you would like to help, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts#How to help|How to help]] section below and ask questions on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]]. ==Scope== Visual arts articles currently fall under the current main categories: *[[:Category:Visual arts]] ([[:Category:Art]] has merged into this) ==How to help== {{todo}} How you can help depends on your time, resources, and interest. Here are a variety of ideas for contributions ranging from simple to complex: * Check for factual and spelling errors on visual arts pages. * Improve the quality of existing articles, see [[Wikipedia:How to structure the content|How to structure the content]]. * Check categorization of existing articles and help organize. * List needed pages and create new pages, see [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/Culture_and_fine_arts#Visual_arts]] * Create and edit pages about artists. See also [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography]] for guidlines. * Upload and add images to all visual arts pages. If any pages need images, it's visual arts. * Add links to websites where more art can be viewed. Particularly with articles for which art is not public domain, thus uploading images to Wikipedia would be a copyright violation. * Update [[Portal:Visual arts]]. The portal can hopefully be updated daily if not more often than that. * Expand [[:Category:Art stubs|art stubs]] and [[:Category:Artist stubs|artist stubs]] into full articles. * [[Wikipedia:Cite sources|Check references]] on visual arts pages. * List questions, article requests and others on the talk page. * Inform members who have displayed interest in the subject of the project via their talk page or the talk page of project pages. * Contribute to conversations on articles listed here: [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Media, art and literature]]. * Revert [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|Vandalism]] on this portal and on articles to do with Visual arts. * Contribute to work listed on the [[Portal:Visual_arts|portal's]] [[Portal:Visual_arts/Things_you_can_do|Things_you_can_do]] section and the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts/to do|''todo'' list]]. ===Open Tasks=== {{ Portal:Visual_arts/Things_you_can_do }} ===Articles for deletion=== It is important to have an input into [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]]. There is now a special page for visual art articles, which needs to be maintained, updated and monitored. It can be found here: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts|WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts]]. Articles need to be added manually: please add any AfD you want to draw attention to, and also put it on your watchlist. ===Sidebar projects=== * '''Art Manual of Style.''' Suggestion only. Develop an [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Art Manual of Style|'''Art''' Manual of Style.]] *'''Move art images to Wikicommons.''' Suggestion only. Move eligible (world-wide public domain) art images to Wikicommons *'''Categories.'''See [[Portal:Visual_arts/Categories]], [[Portal_talk:Arts/Categories]].
