How to help

[edit]

How you can help depends on your time, resources, and interest. Here are a variety of ideas for contributions ranging from simple to complex. Take a look at the Open Tasks section of this page for more article-specific tasks.

Writing and editing

Create new articles: A good starting point might be requested visual arts articles.
- List articles that are needed, but you aren't creating yourself, at requested visual arts articles.
- If creating pages about artists, see Manual of Style (biographies) and WikiProject Biography.
Expand stubs:
- Choose an article from an art stub subcategory and develop it. (See Article development.)
- Choose an article from an artist stub subcategory and develop it. (See Article development.)
Check references on visual arts pages.
Copy-edit pages. Fix up grammar, spelling, links and the like.

Images

Upload and add images to visual arts pages. A logical starting point would be the requested art images.
- Public domain image resources is a great place to start looking for images to add.
- External links to online galleries/images can also be helpful, especially when free images are not available for upload and copyright violations might be an issue.

Wikipedia maintenance

Sort stubs:
- Move articles from Category:Art stubs to more specific stub categories.
- Move articles from Category:Artist stubs to more specific stub categories.
Manage infoboxes (Please use these judiciously and be conscientious of page layout.)
- Add artist infoboxes {{Infobox Artist}}
  - Add {{needs artist infobox}} to the talk pages of artist entries that lack said infobox.
- Add painting infoboxes {{Painting}}
Check categorization of existing articles and help organize. (See Categorization and Category:Visual arts)
