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.
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.
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?
Categorize the many Textile-related articles[edit]
Label articles of interest to the project by putting the {{Wikiproject Textile Arts}} template on the talk pages of all articles of interest to the textile arts.
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!
