There is a group of folks who are focused on Mesoamerican articles. Their home page is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mesoamerica. They also keep a list of needed-but-unwritten articles here (look at the bottom of the page).
I would also be available to help when/if needed.
Hope this helps, Madman (talk) 22:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm new here...you probably can tell. Thanks for the info and ttyl
Photos are always welcome
editAnother way you can contribute to Wikipedia is by uploading photos of Mesoamerican artifacts and sites. It can be difficult to take a good photo of a museum artifact, what with the glass reflections and the (usual) need to use ambient lighting (no flash), but there's nothing like a photo to show describe a culture.
Also, only the most tourist-y archaeological sites articles have photos.
Just a thought . . . Madman (talk) 14:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, i've certainly got many photos from Teotihuacan and Mexico's Museum of Anthropology that are pretty good for my topics of interest. i just might have to upload a few some time! Thnx again HopieG (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
