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

Key

• New page or section
• Significantly expanded
