This online encyclopedia (OLE) editing project is only for a freelance contractor (FC) deeply experienced in OLE editing, such as extended-confirmed users. OLE articles under extended confirmed protection (ECP) can be edited only by extended-confirmed accounts. Some artist biographies for this project are likely to have ECP. Experienced FCs know the roles of OLE talk pages, ECP, administrators... and closed discussions. They also know that OLEs have strict inclusion policies that demand verifiability. Replacing facts without approval of authors of prior edits will be avoided. There is no need for an edit war: edit reversions are a waste of prior effort and will be avoided. After procedures are successful concluded, FC may post a new reference in the OLEs artist biography page.
Equally important is that only FCs who are comfortable with reading and writing scholarly texts about famous artists and passionate about freely educating people about American culture through its visual arts should consider the project.
Examples of OLEs are: Britannica, Encyclopedia.com, Wikipedia (English), Internet Archive Wayback Machine, the World Digital Library and the Traditional Fine Arts Organization (TFAO) Online Digital Library. TFAO's Online Digital Library is an OLE not allowing editing by third parties. It contains the online publication Resource Library (RL). Not allowing RL editing by third parties is a main reason that hundreds of authors trust RL to publish their texts. RL has proven to be one of the most reputable online sources of representational art knowledge. Posting of images will be avoided since researching their copyrights is too complicated for this project. FCs are subject to some OLE's conflict of interest policies which may damage FC's relationship with the OLE without proper procedures and care.
Freelancer services companies (FSCO) representing clients and FCs include UpWork, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour and Hubstaff Talent. One FC and one FSCO will be selected for this project.
Equally important is that only FCs who are comfortable with reading and writing scholarly texts about famous artists and passionate about freely educating people about American culture through its visual arts should consider the project.
This project is intended to help OLE users reference further sources of information concerning historic American representational artists. It is an experiment to determine whether it is effort and cost effective to work with a FC to place high quality RL references into RNS entries.
An interview process will be provided via FSCO before FC proposes a contract to VOL. FC will include in the FSCO contract proposal evidence of prior projects similar to this one with avoidance of OLE reversions. Before entering into a FSCO contract, FC will demonstrate to VOL the ability to identify information within Resource Library essays (RLE) worthy of posting in a Resources" or Notes" section (RNS) within a OLE page. Three OLE postings (one per artist) will be submitted by FC as a part of the FSCO contract proposal. Each posting will be subject to following step two and three requirements for the project. The FC will start the edit process with artists chosen by VOL from an America's Distinguished Artists pages (ADArtists) page.
