Welcome to WikiProject Textile Arts!

About us

[edit]

This project aims to better organize information in articles related to textile arts on Wikipedia. A major problem is organizing the vast amount of information that has been and continues to be collected. A primary goal of this project is to collect and organize this information and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level.

If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list of participants, or just look over the How you can help section below. Also of interest is the Clothing Portal associated with this project.

Concrete goals

[edit]
  • Create and perfect articles on the fundamental topics in textile arts, with a particular focus on subjects that are most commonly taught. The perfect article is complete, but accessible to a secondary school student.
  • Create a standard system for presenting the information about the textile arts.

How you can help

[edit]
Embroidery.

Look for something to do? Make an article, make a stub, assess an article and, above all, have fun! :)

Improve articles

[edit]
  • The article worklist contains a list of all of the articles that have been identified as being of top importance to the project. Most of these articles are easy to improve and assistance is welcome. For example, can you improve Beadwork or Rug making?
  • Contribute to a team effort by expanding one of our stubs. If it grows to five times its original length within five days' time the improvement may qualify for the "Did you know" section on Wikipedia's front page and raise the visibility of our project. For example, can you expand Ladder yarn or Box stitch?
  • Add a picture to one of our articles needing photos. For example, can you upload a photo of Kersey (cloth) or Rissverklebung?
[edit]

Direct our focus

[edit]
  • Join us in discussions on the talk page, so that we can take our ideas off the drawing board and put them into action. Go there, choose a conversation, read it and add your two cents!
  • The Clothing Portal always needs to be maintained!

Improve the project itself

[edit]
  • Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in all forms of textile arts to contribute to Wikipedia.
