This page is in progress -- coming soon.

Here is a link to a Zoom tutorial on how to create Book and Author Wikipedia Links, and links to two documents referred to in that tutorial:

Zoom Video Tutorial (by Michele Fry - msfry) 1/24/2021

Create Wikipedia Page Links to Librivox Authors and Books Pages

Links Worksheet (report your work)

IMPORTANT POINTS EVERY PARTICIPANT MUST FOLLOW (from Hugh McGuire):

Wikipedia is careful not to become a "link farm"; they are always on the lookout for self-promoting spammers. Here are LV’s safeguards to avoid that:
GOOD - a link from a Wikipedia BOOK page to an LV page containing all iterations of that book (or poem) is good. Linking to a specific title is NOT GOOD.
GOOD - a link from a Wikipedia AUTHOR page to an LV page which lists all books/stories by that author is good.
NOT GOOD - a link from a Wikipedia page about, say, a collection of poems to ONE poem at LV is .
GOOD – To add links, become a Wikipedia member with a username and password – it’s free and only takes a minute. Guest edits may be viewed with suspicion.
DEFINITELY AVOID adding many links from many different pages, to one LV site, all at once - this sets off linkspam radar.
If your LV link gets removed, DO NOT revert the deletions ... that is not viewed well in Wikipedia land. PM msfry and I’ll try to resolve the issue.
