'''WikiProject Sculpture''', a sub-project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts|WikiProject Visual arts]], is a place for [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] to discuss issues and organize information about [[sculpture]].  Like any page on Wikipedia, all are welcome to edit and contribute to this [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]]. 

Rather than try to force information to appear in a uniform way, this WikiProject presents guidelines to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. These recommendations for creating Sculpture content are based on various Wikipedia [[:Category:Wikipedia style guidelines|style guides]] and common practices for [[Wikipedia:The perfect article|writing good articles]]. Use your own judgment in applying these guidelines, along with other [[:Category:Wikipedia_guidelines|Wikipedia guidelines]], to compose articles and [[WP:BB|be bold]]. If you would like to help, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts#How to help|How to help]] section below and ask questions on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]]. 

Feel free to add your name to the [[#Participants|participants list]] and/or add the project userbox {{tl|User WikiProject Sculpture}} to your user page.

==Scope==
The project seeks to improve the quality of articles related to sculpture. [[:Category:Sculpture]] is the main category for articles within the scope of this project.

==Goals==
# To provide a place to discuss common issues on Sculpture related pages.
# To thoroughly explore Sculpture globally and historically.
# To ensure all pages meet the standards of [[Wikipedia:Cite sources]]. See also [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check|WikiProject Fact and Reference Check]].

==Quality content==

==How to help==
{{Stack|{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Sculpture articles by quality statistics}}}}
How you can help depends on your time, resources, and interest. Here are a variety of ideas for contributions ranging from simple to complex. Take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts#Open_Tasks|Open Tasks]] section of this page for more article-specific tasks.

If you'd like to help with any of the below and want assistance, post a query on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sculpture|talk page]]. Project members will be glad to help.

===[[Outline of sculpture|Improve the bird's eye view]]===

The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the '''[[Outline of sculpture]]'''. It in turn is part of [[Portal:Contents/Outlines|Wikipedia's outline system]] which is one of [[Portal:Contents|Wikipedia's main contents systems]].

'''''[[Outline of sculpture|Please look it over and fill-in missing topics]].''''' If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.

While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):

# What's missing?
# Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
# Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?

The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.

The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.

It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise sculpture-related material.  It is a hub from which to organize related topics.

It was built as a "[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/689/1/ reverse outline]", a [[tree structure|structural model]] of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.

Please help improve it.

It's our bird's eye view.

Thank you.

===Popular pages===
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Sculpture/Popular pages/Popular pages|Popular pages]]''': A bot-generated list of pageviews, useful for focused cleanup of frequently viewed articles.

===Quality operations===
'''[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Sculpture articles by quality log|Quality operations]]''': A bot-generated detail log for Sculpture articles.

===Develop articles===
* Create new articles: A good starting point might be [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Culture_and_fine_arts#Sculpture|requested sculpture articles]].
** List articles that are needed, but you aren't creating yourself, at [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Culture_and_fine_arts#Sculpture|requested sculpture articles]].
** If creating pages about sculptors, see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)|Manual of Style (biographies)]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography|WikiProject Biography]].
* Expand [[Wikipedia:Stub| stubs]]: 
** Choose an article from an [[:Category:Sculpture stubs|sculpture stub subcategory]] and develop it. (See [[Wikipedia:Article development|Article development]].)
** Choose an article from an [[:Category:Sculptor stubs|sculptor stub subcategory]] and develop it. (See [[Wikipedia:Article development|Article development]].)
* [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|Check references]] on sculpture pages.
* [[Wikipedia:How_to_copy-edit|Copy-edit]] pages. Fix up grammar, spelling, links and the like.

====Articles to be created====
[[Wikipedia:Requested articles/Culture and fine arts#Sculpture]]

====Articles to be improved====
{{WikiProject cleanup listing}}
*[[History of sculpture]]

====Articles for deletion====
It is important to have an input into [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]]. There will be a special page for sculpture articles, which needs to be maintained, updated and monitored. It will be found here: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sculpture|WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sculpture]]. Articles need to be added manually: please add any AfD you want to draw attention to, and also put it on your watchlist.

===Images===
* [[Wikipedia:Images|Upload and add images]] to sculpture pages.  A logical starting point would be the [[Wikipedia:Requested_pictures#Art|requested art images]]. 
** [[Wikipedia:Public domain image resources|Public domain image resources]] is a great place to start looking for images to add.
** [[Wikipedia:External links|External links]] to online galleries/images can also be helpful, especially when free images are not available for upload and [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] violations might be an issue.

Valued images of sculptures at Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Valued_images_of_sculptures

Quality images of sculptures at Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Quality_images_of_sculptures

===Wikipedia maintenance===
* Manage infoboxes (Please use these judiciously and be conscientious of page layout.)
** Add artist infoboxes (this one will do for sculptors too) {{tl|Infobox Artist}}
*** Add {{tl|needs artist infobox}} to the talk pages of artist entries that lack said infobox.
** Add sculpture infoboxes {{tl|Sculpture}}
* Check categorization of existing articles and help organize. (See [[Wikipedia:Categorization|Categorization]] and [[:Category:Sculpture|Category:Sculpture]])
* Revert [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] on articles to do with [[:Category:Sculpture|sculpture]].
* Contribute to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sculpture|articles for deletion]] discussions.
* Contribute to conversations on articles listed here: [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Media, art and literature|Requests for comment/Media, art and literature]].
