We are developing '''The Process''' asis a systematized way to work withuse 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 WSPA Project'''|WP:WSPA/Indy}}

{{for|the '''Milwaukee WSPA Project'''|WP:WSPA/MKE}}

{{for|the '''Washington D.C. WSPA Project'''|WP:WSPA/D.C.}}

If you'd prefer to work on a single work of public art, consult the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Art/WSPATemplate|WSPA Article Template]].
