Intro

=Goals=

{{Shortcut|WP:NPOV|WP:RS}}

  • Update and add new articles on histories supported by UTL collections
  • Contribute up-to-date, balanced, and authoritative sources to Wikipedia

=Approach=

{{Shortcut|WP:PRIMARY|WP:SECONDARY}}

  • Where chunks of notable information are missing, create new sections or articles
  • Where existing narrative is comprehensive and up-to-date, add references to verify content and connect research
  • Add secondary sources wherever interpretation is required
  • Add primary sources where self-evident
  • Example: 1923 Nobel Prize medal inscribed to Frederick Banting → Banting was recipient in 1923
  • Rearrange media or links to prioritise article relevance, but with sensitivity to the overall focus of the page

=Key=

  • {{New entry}} New page or section
