Hello all,
In the past week the council of museums in Brussels started the project of 100 masterpieces in Brussels. Based on their list we have checked which museums have an article in Wikipedia and which not.
On the Dutch Wikipedia we miss only one article at the moment, and someone started writing it.
On the French Wikipedia we miss only 6 articles of the 40 museums with masterpieces: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro/25_mai_2016#100_chefs...
On the English Wikipedia we miss 18 articles of the 40 museums with masterpieces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Romaine/100_masterpieces_from_Brussels
We now try to get at least in these three languages an article about these museums with masterpieces from Brussels.
An article in other languages are welcome as well.
The next step will be talking to the museums to show our interest in them and we hope they want to donate images for usage in these and other articles.
Thanks!
Romaine

Hi Romaine,
what is the time scale you have in mind?
Cheers Yaroslav
Hi Yaroslav,
Thank you for the interest in the project!
The whole project takes 100 days for 100 masterpieces. As now the subject is hot around this topic I will start reaching out to museums in this week and/or next week, first with museums with PD materials. If it is possible to show the museums that they get more and more articles written on Wikipedia about them, the more existing they hopefully will be.
As you may have noticed, it is going ad-hoc, which is the result of the missing collaboration of the core organising organisation.
The first step is now getting the museums in Wikipedia. When the museums start to provide us images, we also will look to which masterpieces are notable to add as own article in Wikipedia.
Greetings, Romaine
