This week, we took a look at WikiProject Numismatics, a project dedicated to money and its history. Included within the project's scope are articles about coins, banknotes, cheques, credit cards, stock certificates, medals, medallions, and token coins. The project started in 2004 and has grown to include 9 featured articles and lists, 7 good and A-class articles, and over 1,000 images. WikiProject Numismatics maintains a portal, to-do list ( Numitasks), and a list of helpful sources. We interviewed Searchme (Joe) and Enlil Ninlil.
What motivated you to join WikiProject Numismatics? Do you collect coins, medals, or other items covered by the project?
Do you prefer working on articles pertaining to coins (etc.) from recent history or ancient history?
Have you contributed to any of the project's featured or good articles? Are you currently working on bringing an article up to FA or GA status?
How difficult has it been to find images of rare coins?
The project maintains a portal that receives around 60 views per day. How much effort goes into maintaining the portal? Is it a worthwhile component of the project?
Does WikiProject Numismatics maintain close connections with any other projects? Have there been any inter-project collaborations on articles?
How can a new contributor help today?
Anything else you'd like to add?
Next week, we'll visit a scary project just in time for
Halloween. Until then, look for thrills and chills in the
haunted archive.
