ToDo

[edit]
  • Update National Treasure related articles (and those on Cultural Properties of Japan) with new (as of April 10) pamphlets found here
  • Improve existing articles on temples, shrines, museums,... with information from the National Treasure lists
  • Write new articles on National Treasures of Japan
  • Find even more pictures of National Treasures and upload them to commons:
    • take pictures yourself and upload them
    • pictures of old 2D objects (paintings, writings,...) can be uploaded under PD-Art license irrespective where they come from (even if the website or book or other source claims a copyright)!
    • check flickr for pictures with free licenses (see Upload work from Flickr for an explanation of suitable licenses and this page for links to common searches)
    • check old books for pictures (laws are complicated, ask Commons talk:Licensing whether it is ok to upload scans in individual cases, usually the book has to be at least 70 years old but additional conditions apply)

Done

[edit]
  • created lists of all National Treasures
  • created a National Treasures featured topic, i.e....
  • uploaded lots of pictures of National Treasures
  • added information on National Treasures to respective articles (more needs to be done)
