[edit] Articles that need attention
Add here articles that need attention (need wikifying, copyediting, references, expansion, etc.) Add a comment on what needs to be done.
- Baltijos Garsas - up for AfD, sources need translation.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Lithuanian dictionaries
- Senieji Trakai expansion and copyedit needed.
- LKL needs expansion.
- Nobility in Lithuania
*Singing Revolution expand sections on Lithuania and Latvia
- Order of Vytautas the Great needs copy/edit
- Valdas Adamkus needs update
- Could someone assess Chicago Lawn, Chicago? This was, and still is, the main Lithuanian neighborhood in Chicago.
- Culture of Lithuania. Someone needed to check whether cleanup sign should be removed. Help is needed to cleanup the very long article. I'm taking a look at improving this one! --Grey Knight ⊖ 16:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Holy Cross in Chicago This landmark church, founded by Lithuanian immigrants is in the "Back of the Yards' area of Chicago that was the backdrop for Upton Sinclairs's book, The Jungle. It was historically referred to as "the Lithuanian Cathedral", and the article is in need of expansion.--Orestek 00:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Help is needed at Red army crimes in Lithuania. A Lithuanian editor perceives any criticism of the article and its content (it is undergoing AfD) as motivated by Red Army sympathies/bias. His personal attacks and struggles with English and WP policies and procedures have resulted in edit warring and much discord. Maybe someone with a Lithuanian background can mediate?
Jim Dunning | talk 05:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)- The article was deleted following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red army crimes in Lithuania.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 18:31, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Help improving the article Vilnius Lyceum (please correct mistakes in order to remove {{copyedit}} template).
- Aukštaitian dialect. The name of the article is disputed because it's a specific word. --Visconsus (talk) 08:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Please consider looking into Occupations of Latvia and see if the article contains in your opinion any violations of WP:NPOV ,WP:Verifiability, WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:OR. All opinions appreciated at Talk:Occupations of Latvia. Thanks!--Termer 07:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tools and resources
[edit] Referencing
A simple yet comprehensive tutorial would help a lot: I.E. - inline, general references
- Template for book citation: {{cite book}}
- Template for website citation: {{cite web}}
- Inline citation: Wikipedia:Inline Citation
- Referencing with Footnotes
[edit] Images
- Most images are located on Commons.
- Starting point for Lithuania-related images on commons: Category:Lithuania
- For images on English Wikipedia, try this search.
- Some good images are on Lithuanian wiki. Try looking there, but those images most likely will have to re-uploaded to commons.
- If there is no image you want try flickr.com. Look for creative commons images. However, only Attribution License & Attribution-ShareAlike License are acceptable on Wikipedia. When uploading, don't forget to identify flickr users who took the pic!
- Don't get confussed because Flickr also has something it calls "public image." That is not the same as copyright status.
[edit] Guidelines
Here are some Wikipedia conventions:
- For main articles use this template: {{main|ARTICLE NAME}}
- For related topics use this template: {{see also|ARTICLE NAME}}
- Add a non-breaking space ( ) between a unit and the value (eg.
25 [[kilometre|km]]renders as 25 km) - Use − for negative numbers
- Wikify articles WP:WIKIFY
- See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style

Thanks for your understanding.
[edit] Category tree
- Main article Wikipedia:Categorization
The category tree is quite simple - you might explore it through category:Lithuania and its subcategories and sub sub categories. I've made some changes, to make it similar to other countries categories. IMO this is about enough, just some explanation is needed, and I might even write it in some time. They're quite easy to create - no request is needed.
Basic principle is to identify category properly - geography, history, education and so on. Then look into subcategories - maybe there is more precise category, not so general doe example Vytautas Magnus University should fit into category:Education in Lithuania, but more precise would be category:Universities in Lithuania, and also category:Education in Kaunas. category:History of Kaunas is also suitable for this article.
Multiple categories also can be used, where appropriate - for example Kūčios could be in category:Lithuanian cuisine (if section about food would be expanded) and category:Lithuanian traditions.
A bit more complicated is category:Lithuanian people - the principle is, that most of them go via category:Lithuanian people by occupation to precise occupation, for example category:Lithuanian architects. There are also a few subcategories - for example category:Lithuanian writers has subcategories category:Lithuanian poets and category:Lithuanian journalists.
Incomplete articles shoud be marked as an appropriate stub.
