I am focusing my efforts on the articles in the Textile Arts WikiProject. Specifically, I am currently trying to make a dent in the cleanup listing backlog.

Useful links

• Cleanup listing for WikiProject Textile Arts (old listing)
• General article layout: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout (Order of article elements)
• End-of-article section formatting when using shortened references: Footnotes, notes, and references // Notes and references
• WikiBlame
• The Wikipedia Library: List of partners

Help:Searching

• To search pages contained within a category and all children categories, use: deepcat:[parent category]. For example, deepcat:"Textile arts" ibidem

Resources for new users

• "Five Pillars" (Wikipedia): the fundamental principles of Wikipedia
• "How" (The Signpost): a more in depth version of "Five Pillars"
