Welcome to the Museums WikiProject! A chunk of this text has been stolen borrowed under GFDL ;) from other Wiki Projects.
- Goals
- Improve Wikipedia's coverage of museums.
- Improve quality of existing articles
- Expand smaller museums in non-English dominant countries where articles are little more than a sentence.
- Create guidelines for articles about museums.
- Scope
- The project covers all articles about museums in a wide range of disciplines and locations throughout the world. By member consensus, it does not include aquaria, herbaria, zoos and other non-museum 'collections' because these are well-covered in other projects.
- For those within the museum sector, and collaborations between Wikipedia and institutions, see Wikipedia:Advice for the cultural sector.
To Do
edit- Wikipedia:WikiProject Museums/Requested Articles: these articles have been requested, but not yet written
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Museums/Requests for Expansion: these stubs have been created, but they could do with some expansion
Ongoing cleanup
editThere is an ongoing cleanup/developing in the undeveloped stub articles of Category:Museums in Greece to determine which of them meet with notability standards, develop them to at least basic stubs and nominate for deletion all the rest. You can help here. Participants: User:Thaliapap, User:Hoverfish
Maintenance categories
edit![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/50px-Edit-clear.svg.png)
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Weird article. Reads as original essay into a topic. The article content does not match the title, it focuses on random facts on old educational institutions rather than what you would expect from a page entitled 'cultural institutions in Australia'. The page was also created in 2006, with no notable contributions since SJD Willoughby (talk) 06:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Australia-related deletion discussions. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:47, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Museums and libraries and Education. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, an article can be written about the impact of the First Fleet, etc on the creation of Australia's cultural landscape, which this source has, but it would be easier to start over. I also don't think that's a representative sample of early Australian cultural organizations and certainly not a description for two hundred years later either. Star Mississippi 17:40, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and improve --Matilda talk 01:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- As you created this article 18 years ago, I would argue that this article will not see any improvements. I would actually argue that this article cannot be improved as the current scope does not match the title. As the previous comment states, it would be better to delete the article and allow future editors to restart either an article about the current contents under a more relevant name or a more relevant article under the current name SJD Willoughby (talk) 03:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, rename and improve. It covers a legitimate topic. If anybody had wanted to write a summary article on high culture in Australia during the last 20 years, they could easily have written it.--Grahame (talk) 04:24, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep The title is good but needs improvements for sure, plus a very old article.NatalieTT (talk) 15:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - the topic is about a very valid institution of Mechanics institutes and the like - needs a carefully thought out name change, and the potential for improvement is considerable. JarrahTree 09:57, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Resources
editSome resources which may be useful for those writing articles about museums:
- Culture24 – information on many UK museums
- Visitor statistics for UK attractions
- Monthly museum & gallery visits figures from the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport
- Geograph (for photos in the UK) is really good & all CC licensed so can be used – there is even a simple template {{geograph | image-number | author}} for adding them on upload which marks them for transfer to commons.
- Museums: Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp)
