Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Visual arts is a place for 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 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 style guides and common practices for writing good articles. Use your own judgment in applying these guidelines, as well as all Wikipedia guidelines, to compose articles and be bold.

If you would like to help, see the How to help section below and ask questions on the talk page.

It can be found here: 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.

  • Move art images to Wikicommons. Suggestion only. Move eligible (world-wide public domain) art images to Wikicommons
