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