 Project MUSE search tutorial |
- Editors should always provide original citation information, in addition to linking a Project MUSE source, per WP:V and WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT
- Editors should not provide bare links to non-free Project MUSE pages
- Editors should note "(subscription required)" in the citation (either through the "|subscription = " variable in {{cite web}} or {{subscription required}}), where appropriate)
- Editors should use consistent citations, preferably either in the TWL recommended Citation below, or one of the support citation styles supported by MUSE (MLA, APA, Chicago).
Example
<ref> {{cite journal |title=Bowling alone: America's declining social capital|authors= Putnam, Robert|url=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_democracy/v006/6.1putnam.html|year=1995|journal=Journal of Democracy|volume=6|issue=1|pages=65–78|subscription=yes|via=[[Project MUSE]]}}</ref>

Further participation[edit]
Here are a few ways you could help The Wikipedia Library effectively leverage this partnership:
- Add {{Wikipedia:Project MUSE/Userbox}} to your user boxes if you have access to this database. This helps us share our project with other experienced users.
- TWL is interested in having guest bloggers. Guest blogging gives the opportunity for both The Wikipedia Library and Project MUSE to profile our partnership, and it gives the guest bloggers a new platform to share their editing experience with others (which is good for the Wikimedia community).

- @NegMawon: I've double-checked my preferences on both enwp and zhwp, no problems at receiving emails from other users. According to my past experiences, I've successfully received mails from other editors (though all from zhwp). In case that you have difficulties for using the email function in zhwp, here's my suggestions: Clear the preloaded title on the first field (named 「主旨」) first, and substitute it with anything preferred. Then compose the email in the field immediately below the aforementioned field. Upon completion you can just click the button at the bottom (named 「寄出」) and send it. Usually when it is an important mail, I'll read it immediately, so don't need to worry that I won't read the mail. If still can't get used to it, click here. --Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 07:43, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Withdrawn[edit]
Coretheapple (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'm delighted to hear that Project MUSE is available. I have some experience with it in an academic setting and would be thrilled to use it, especially in articles on the performing arts. Coretheapple (talk) 18:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC) I just learned that, to my surprise, I indeed am able to access this fine resource through another method, so I'm withdrawing my application.
