Goals

edit
  • to train staff and others how they can add material to Wikipedia according to our rules and without violating Conflict of Interest guidelines
  • to write articles on PMA related topics; identify some key objects with good sources available
  • to get more images of things in the collections that aren't paintings onto Commons
  • to create all the proper user boxes, project tags, etc. in order to keep track of project statistics.
  • to tag and assess PMA related articles by placing {{WikiProject Philadelphia Museum of Art}} on their Talk pages
