Wikipedia:GLAM/Royal Library of Belgium/PDD 2018

On 19 May 2018 the edit-a-thon in the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) takes place, organised by the Royal Library and Wikimedia Belgium, with the support from our partners during this public domain month. See also the invitation: Invitation to the public domain month in 2018.

Program[edit]

The (simplified) guidelines on Wikipedia, resting on the five pillars, include:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, the content that you add must fit in an encyclopedia.
Write in a neutral point of view.
All content added must be free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. (copyrights)

Further:

Use references to source facts in your article. Every section should have a reference, and about every two/three sentences need a reference. References can be used multiple times in an article.
Sign your messages in talk pages with ~~~~.

Please note: if you are an employee of the Royal Library, please do not edit the article about the Royal Library to avoid a Conflict of Interest.

First: welcome to Wikipedia!

Before you start writing, please keep the following thoughts in mind:

add to Wikipedia only knowledge that is suitable for an encyclopedia
add only material that is available under a free license or describe knowledge in your own words
describe the knowledge from a neutral point of view
add references and sources where the information can be found
do not write about your own organisation nor about yourself, a family member or your boss
do not describe new theories, new insights that have not been published widely
look at comparable subjects as examples of how it is done
use headers to structure an article
use internal links (links to other articles on Wikipedia in that language)
do not use links inline in the text, but only as reference or at the bottom of a page
avoid qualifications like "the best", "the most", "great" and write time specific (not: "last year", "coming month", etc., but: "on 10 April 2016")

Please start writing in your sandbox. The link to your personal sandbox you can find on top of every page (if you are logged in).
