'''The SOS! to Wikipedia Process''' is a systematized way to use the information and images contained in the [http://sirismm.si.edu/siris/ariquickstart.htm SOS! Database] as a starting point to make Wikipedia articles on a city by city basis. By using this data as a starting point you will begin with one good reference and be on your way to meeting the [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability guidelines]]. Depending on how many works of public art are in your area, you might find it helpful to work as a team or at least with a partner.

For examples of communities using the process see:

{{for|the '''Indianapolis Public art project'''|WP:WSPAWikiProject Public art/Indy}}

{{for|the '''Milwaukee Public art project'''|WP:WSPAWikiProject Public art/MKEMilwaukee}}

{{for|the '''Washington D.C. Public art project'''|WP:WSPAWikiProject Public art/D.C.}}

If you'd prefer to work on a single work of public art, consult the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Artart/WSPATemplateArticle template|WSPANew Article TemplateGuide]].

===The Process===

Line 44 ⟶ 45:

* Create or edit the Wikipedia article for your artwork.

* Upload images from the existing SOS! database and your new photographs to either Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia.

** Use the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Artart/WSPATemplateArticle template| WSPANew Article TemplateGuide]] to keep all articles similar in layout.

** Use the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Artart/Style Guideguide| WSPA Style Guide]] for all aspects of article editing.

** Use the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Artart/Image Uploaderguide| WSPA Image Upload Guide]] for help with photos.
