Purpose of the WikiMatejko action edytuj

The editorial action WikiMatejko, or Matejko in Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Poland and the National Museum in Krakow, which takes place within the framework of the Matejko Year and accompanies the Museum's ongoing exhibition Matejko. Painter and history.

The aim of the campaign is to enrich Wikipedia and other sister projects with high-quality content, illustrations and data related to the artist, his life and work.

As a result, we will increase the quantity and quality of Wikipedia articles on Jan Matejko's work, his life, the circle of people close to him and objects that were an important part of his creative activities. We will also enrich the illustration resources at Wikimedia Commons and add data on people, works of art and other objects to the largest open database, Wikidata.

The long-term aim of the campaign is to popularise knowledge of the artist and his work on Wikipedia and other sister projects.

The action will contribute to the development of editing skills for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects among the newcomers involved, mainly students of history of art, who will be supported by experienced Wikipedians.

Everyone is welcome to participate and expand on this project! Anyone wishing to contribute in any way is welcome to sign up in the Participants section – this way we will be able to track new additions to the project, and get in touch with you!
