Adopt an article

Would you like to adopt an article? This would involve doing the research, writing, and finding public domain images to create or improve an article. Just pick an article from one of the "To do" lists above and start editing (see "clean-up tasks" and "new article opportunities" above). Of course, anyone can edit any article, even if someone had "adopted" it. But the idea of adopting an article is to focus for a while on a particular article until you feel it is as completely researched and referenced, and as well-written as you can make it, with a view of building up the number of high quality articles relating to this project. When you are finished working on an adopted article, leave a message on the talk page to let the other members of the project know you are finished, and they can look it over.

In general, this project follows the Opera Project category system as explained on their project page.

There are however six specific Wagner categories: Category:Richard Wagner • Category:Wagner studies • Category:Wagner family • Category:Operas by Richard Wagner • Category:Compositions by Richard Wagner •Category:Essays by Richard Wagner

We have an official project talk page banner indicating the involvement of the project. The coding is {{WikiProject Richard Wagner}}. This is displayed on all articles (28 in July 2007) in the Wagner categories (see above). The banner is set up to include assessment ratings.

There is a template for Richard Wagner at Template:Richard_Wagner. This can be added to project pages using the code {{Richard Wagner}}.--Dogbertd (talk) 16:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
