Scope
[edit]
This project aims to coordinate the sharing of resources between Smarthistory and the Wikimedia community. Smarthistory's mission as an online educational institution aligns closely with Wikipedia’s goal to provide "free access to the sum of all human knowledge."
Plans
[edit]- to link, where appropriate, articles on a particular artwork to the Smarthistory video on the artwork.
- to review or write Wikipedia articles on specific artworks documented in Smarthistory videos, using the videos and other sources.
- to link, in limited circumstances, articles on an artist to the Smarthistory video on the artist.
- to create all the proper user boxes, project tags, etc. in order to keep track of project statistics.
