What is WikiProject Comics?

[edit]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics (WP:CMC) is a group of Wikipedia editors interested in comics. This WikiProject provides a place to discuss what we're doing, ask for help, and announce new articles. Any Wikipedian (someone with a user account) is free to join. Look atPortal:Comics to see some of our best articles.

What is Wikipedia?

[edit]

Wikipedia is a user-created encyclopedia run by a non-commercial, non-profit organization. Type a subject in the "search box" and see what appears: Try "Comics," for instance, and read our article on the medium. The "edit this page" tab at the top of the page means you can, if you so wish, edit any page in Wikipedia and have your changes appear immediately. If you would like to try it out, you can experiment onWikipedia:Sandbox. Enter anything you want, and see what appears! Remember: No constructive edit is too small!

Wherever you see a word or phrase underlined in blue, that means you can click and read an article. And, of course, if you can spot an improvement, you can just make it there and then. Where a word or phrase is underlined in red, that means that article has not yet been written - and, if you wish, you can click on that word or phrase and create that article.

User accounts

[edit]

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, regardless of whether they have a user account; however, if you find yourself contributing regularly, it's a good idea to create a user account. Edits by registered users tend to be taken a little more seriously. You don't have to use your real name if you don't want to, and it helps if others want to contact you to discuss the work you're doing or even to thank you for your contributions.

How to get involved with WP:CMC

[edit]

Editing articles

[edit]

Many articles need to be edited, updated, or even created. These include articles about notable creators,comic books,comic strips, characters, and country-specific topics. Because Wikipedia's editorial staff is made up of volunteers, everything should becited. You can find relevant information at sites such asProject Fanboy,Comics Newsarama andComic Book Resources and magazines likeThe Comics Journal,Back Issue! magazine, andWizard: The Comics Magazine. You can also use information from older solicitation information, such as you might find in thePreviews catalog; be sure only to write about comics that have hit the shelves and not to speculate — "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball".

TheManual of Style (comics),exemplars andnaming conventions will guide you in how WP:CMC articles should look and help you refine your editing techniques.

Other useful pages

[edit]

Here's a list of helpful reference pages to keep handy:

Contributing images

[edit]
See also:Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Copyright andWikipedia:Copyright FAQ.
Comics creator Scott McCloud. Can you contribute similar images for other creators?

We always need newimages and photographs. We of course must respectcopyrighted images, but photographs you've taken are welcome. We need images that are licensed under{{PD}} (Public Domain) or{{cc-by-sa}} (Creative Commons); copyrighted butfair to use; or free.

We need images of comic book panels, covers and promotional art; comic strips; comics exhibitions; conventions; the tools used in creating comics; and creators, particularly if the image is of the creator working.

Pleasediscuss any proposals for new work groups with the project as a wholebefore creating them.

WikiProject Comics work groups are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the subject of comics. They afford the advantage of allowing editors to organize their efforts around a topic without having to expend time and energy organizing and duplicating the overall structure, style, and guidelines for a descendant WikiProject which would be completely or mostly covered by the Comics project. All users are encouraged to participate in any that interest them.

Editors interested in creating work groups should look towards creating a work group with a medium-to-large number of articles within its scope, or consider a higher-level scope if this cannot be achieved. (For example, less productive national comics scenes may be better served by creating a collective regional comics work group instead.)

Work groups should also have aroused a significant number of potential participants to warrant organizational overhead. The project, via consensus onthe discussion page, will determine if a work group is to be created.

(It should be noted that work groups created prior to October 22, 2007 were moved from independent WikiProjects and should thus be considered "grandfathered" in.)
