WikiProject Stanford University

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Stanford University. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

If you would like to help, please add your name to the List of Participants below, and see what you can do. We'll be happy to have your help!

If you're new, you can start by editing pages from your department and your student group, and then venture onto the "To Do" list on the bottom right!

Invited everyone on Wikipedians by Alma Mater. ralphamale (talk) 22:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Finished implementing Turnkey for our project page! ralphamale (talk) 21:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How can I contribute to this project?

No matter how experienced you are, we could use your help! If you're new to Wikipedia, have a look at the following:

1. Introduction to Wikipedia
2. How to edit a page
3. Starting a new page
4. Wikipedia syntax

If you're looking for something to do, refer to the list of articles. Be on the lookout for tags such as {{cleanup}} and {{unreferenced}} to guide your contributions. If you're a good photographer, then look to see which articles need your photographs.

Are you looking to join the project?

1. Add your name to the list of participants (optional)
2. Contribute to an existing article
   1. Consider starting with a topic you are familiar with
   2. Check the list of important articles below that need work!
3. Start a new article!
   1. Be sure to add {{WikiProject Stanford University}} to the talk page.
4. Add an image to an article!
   1. Look at project articles for somewhere a picture you've taken might look good.
   2. Image uploading and licensing is difficult, so don't be afraid to ask for help!
   3. If you upload an image you've taken, licensing it under Creative Commons cc-by-2.5 (or a similar license) will reduce the chance that it will be deleted.
      1. cc-by-nc and cc-by-3.0 licenses are considered "unfree";
      2. If you upload an image, you have to swallow the fact that any person or corporation (including the institute) can (and will) use your image.
   4. Add images you upload to Category:Stanford University. If you upload them to Commons, add them to the category on both Commons and Wikipedia. (Yes, you can categorize a Commons image on Wikipedia.)

And remember, provide sources for your edits.

Things to do

• Get Stanford UniversitytoWP:GA status
• Monitor Wikiproject Watchlist
• Revamp the WikiProject page to have more defined goals and tasks
• Generate awareness and recruit more people to our WikiProject
• Disambiguate links on Stanford University articles

Our goals

• Maintain and improve Stanford's Wikipedia coverage.
• Create guidelines for articles about Stanford.
• Bring every Stanford-related article up to FA or GA status.

Images and Image Requests

Compiled this list from looking at the groups.... Haven't done Stanford University people or athletics, if anyone wants to help. Please add images to this if you have any. Thanks! ralphamale (talk) 21:40, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a current student, I can fulfill many of these requests easily. If you have any more, ask away! (For the ones below, I crossed out things that already have good illustrations or are not suitable for illustration.) King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
