Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 projectHi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-Class and good B-Class articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Can you recommend any suitable articles on contemporary art? We are also looking for featured articles. Please post your suggestions here. Cheers!--Shanel 19:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC) An invitation to all members of this project![]() WikiProject Arts
HAM This page is not organized like a regular discussion page, and seems to be discouraging people from commenting or working on the article contemporary art. This project is a good idea because the article is pathetic due to it's lack of structure and detail. The thing is, this project itself also lacks any structure. There is the beginning of a discussion on how to develop the article contemporary art on that page, but having two forums for discussion does not seem to be working. We should focus our energies either here or there and, I mean this positively, I say we should continue the discussion there. Deletionmoved from article page:
2006 Turner PrizeWiki has beaten the morning papers to the shortlist. There are now stubs on all 4 nominees, as below. However, with the considerable interest in the prize, they would benefit from expansion. Please help with this if you can. Tyrenius 22:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC) Project DirectoryHello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

End cross-post. Please do not comment more in this section. New ContentHi, I am a contemporary artist from Australia. Are people interested in national guides to contemporary art scenes? I'd be happy to write one for australia. This could be useful for researchers, artists, writers, or anyone from the general public interested in the contemporary visual arts, in a particular country. It would be fantastic to scan through similar pages for the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Brazil, China, et cetera.
Australian Contemporary Art Each of these sections could be a link, and further description could be filled in, eg. Artist Run Initiatives in Australia. Each of these could have its own history as a link, etc. Does this fit your brief, and how do we go about it - if it does? 60.226.233.33 01:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Bad Western

Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC) This needs input. Tyrenius 00:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC) More AfD debatesThree Polish artists were nominated yesterday: Magdalena Trzebiatowska, Jacek Yerka, and Katarzyna Kozyra. Opinions would be welcome! --Mereda 10:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Tyrenius 00:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Please use and watchlist the above as a central notice board. Tyrenius 01:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (artists)For info - discussion from recent AFDs that moved first to Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) has now moved to a separate project page about a proposed new guideline. --Mereda 08:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC) Comment invited on the colour choice for this template. Tyrenius 05:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Help requested at Carl DjerassiAt Carl Djerassi, the portion about Djerassi as an art patron has been quite a mess for quite some time. I'm hoping someone from this project may know enough about the topic to provide citations and clean it up; if nothing else, it might just be a matter of cutting it back. - Jmabel | Talk 18:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Christine KunklerAs part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Christine Kunkler is notable enough to have her own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. If you can spare some time, please add your comments to the article's talk page. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 14:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Expert review: Jon BurgermanAnother expert review; thanks for your help with the last one. As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Jon Burgerman is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 17:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Barry McGeeI noticed that Barry McGee was added to the list of articles needing attention. Art4Humanists suggested the PBS series Art:21 as a good source, and I remember that McGee was covered in the series. While mentioned in the article's sources, this short episode has a great deal of information on McGee that could be useful in expanding the article. Are there any other suggestions on how to improve the article? Infiniteawe 07:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Expert review: Asbjørn LønvigAs part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Asbjørn Lønvig is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 14:04, 3 August 2007 (UTC) To do listI've added a list of articles that need improving to the project page.--Ethicoaestheticist 22:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC) Sub-project Experimental artI have created a proposal for a new Wikiproject: Experimental art. I’m thinking of this as a possible sub-project of this one. “Experimental art” would focus most of its attention on avant-guard topics, a sub-form of contemporary art. I think there is enough work needed in this category of articles to make two projects helpful. Would this be agreeable with you? By the way, this project is amazing. I hope I can help contribute. --S.dedalus 04:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Expert review: Mark Vallen![]() As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Mark Vallen is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 19:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Those visually inclined might like to check out the above and its talk page. Tyrenius 07:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC) I thought you folks might be interested in my nomination of Twentieth century theatre for Wikipedia:Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive. The body of that page consists of only 12 words! It would be great if any of you would like to collaborate on writing a great article about the subject. --S.dedalus 06:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Expert review: KonstakutenAs part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Konstakuten is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 18:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC) Not my territory (non-UK, so outside ODNB) but needs sourcing/cleanup. Gordonofcartoon 23:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Expert review: Contemporary Baroque ArtAs part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Contemporary Baroque Art is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 18:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC) Max kahn![]() don't know if he fits within your time period, but can anyone find and add references to Max Kahn--in particular, to his lithographs being in the museums mentioned? DGG (talk) 22:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC) Art WikiMarathonI'm helping to organize a group of artists and art historians to contribute contemporary art additions and entries to wikipedia on Jan 26th. We're all setting aside a day to add as much as information as possible and calling it Art WikiMarathon. So far the people involved are all very net savvy and experienced with wikipedia. We'll be doing our best to create quality content that is referenced, links up other pages, etc. and we'll be editing each others work to improve it. If anyone has any suggestions or would like to participate, please let me know. Dronthego (talk) 20:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Is this project needed?It seems to be fairly moribund and Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts is doing the job anyway. Tyrenius (talk) 11:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I propose to tag it as {{Historical}} and give a soft redirect to WikiProject Visual arts (where editors seem ranging round the whole historical field effortlessly), so that efforts can be focused, and posts aren't left on this page needlessly. Tyrenius (talk) 07:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Project boxesI propose to remove the existing Contemporary Art boxes from talk pages, since all of the Project's articles have been inherited by Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. They provide no information other than linking to this inactive project. Once this is done, the template may be retired. I volunteer to implement the removal once there is consensus to proceed (or disinterested lack of opposition :-) -- Enki H. (talk) 20:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Art & computer generated imageryHi, Any computer art experts here? Ideas on Talk:Fractal_landscape#Fractal_images.2C_art.2C_landscapes.2C_surfaces.2C_etc. on how to manage the hierarchy for computer generated art/images and fractal arts, etc. will be appreciated. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 03:11, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Help pleaseI don't know if this is the right place to ask for help, but there has been an issue with a editor at Georges_Yatridès for a few months. User:Arnaugi has denied having a conflict of interest but his edits started showing up right after User:Yatrides was told that he couldn't edit his own article, and Arnaugi's edits have had a strong pro Georges_Yatridès point of view. Do you think someone from this project could take a look? CombatWombat42 (talk) 16:08, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
The need for a specific contemporary art wikiprojectI know this project and page is not maintained, but I think it is really needed. Contemporary art on Wikipedia has specific issues to deal with
There is a need for templates, guidelines and discussion related to contemporary art articles. And there is a need to contribute specifically in this field to Wikipedia.
Leaflet for Wikiproject Contemporary Art at Wikimania 2014![]() Hi all, My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London. One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations. This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g: • Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film • Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers. • Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc. • Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____ • Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
Comment on the WikiProject X proposalHello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC) WikiProject X is live!![]() Hello everyone! You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X. Harej (talk) 16:57, 14 January 2015 (UTC) You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!
