Talk:Reading/Multimedia/2013-14 Goals

Workflows which Wikipedia editors use to find and publish media files on articles

These seem to be the core pages/recommendations.

1. w:Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial - A simple step by step guide through some of the below.
2. w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Obtaining images
   1. Search Wikimedia
      • Wikipedia
      • Commons
      • related articles on other language Wikipedias
   2. Create your own
      • Tips and Tutorials
   3. Search the internet
      • Free Image Search Tool (FIST)
      • w:Wikipedia:Public domain image resources and meta:Free image resources and commons:Commons:Free media resources and w:Wikipedia:Free sound resources
      • general purpose image search engines, e.g. Google Image Search, Picsearch and Pixsta.
3. w:Wikipedia:Requested pictures
   1. add a request template to the talkpage
      • {{reqphoto}} - 134,729 transclusions
      • {{reqmap}} - 83
      • {{reqmapin}} - 5,209
      • {{reqdiagram}} - 663

      • {{Building diagram needed}} - 81
      • {{reqvideo}} - 185
      • {{reqaudio}} - 296
   2. add imageneeded=yes or needs-photo=yes or similar to a WikiProject Banner. E.g.
      • {{WikiProject Video games|screenshot=yes}} - for video game screenshots
      • {{WikiProject Television|needs-image=yes}} - for Television programs screenshot.

   Also commons:Commons:Picture requests and commons:Commons:Audio and video requests

Plus various content-specific pages, e.g. for maps:

• commons:Commons:Map resources
• w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps
• w:Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop

I'm not sure how to go about answering "Can we quantify which discovery/publishing tools/workflows are used the most? Map out the most popular workflows?". Any ideas/suggestions? –Quiddity (talk) 05:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
