Welcome to the NIH WikiProject, a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of National Institutes of Health and to developing other Wikipedia articles with resources suggested or shared by the NIH.

Goals[edit]

Improve articles about the NIH

The NIH consists of many different divisions, hosts many projects, and is a base for many researchers. When these divisions, projects, and researchers meet Wikipedia notability criteria, then these things can have Wikipedia articles giving information about them and those articles should be developed.

Improve any Wikipedia article with NIH expertise

Wikipedia editing guide

The NIH is a major repository of health information, including historical and cultural information about health topics as social institutions. Many Wikipedia articles unrelated to the NIH could be improved with the library, archival, and curatorial resources which the NIH freely shares with anyone.

Facilitate Wikipedian access to NIH resources

In order to achieve other goals of this project, Wikipedians need access to the resources of the NIH. Such access might include viewing NIH documents online or using any of the NIH-managed search engines to find information.

The NIH holdings are vast. Navigation of the collections is non trivial. WikiProject NIH seeks to serve the Wikipedia's community's needs by making it easier for Wikipedians who want NIH media resources to be able to access those resources for the purpose of developing Wikipedia content.

Sorting systems[edit]

Inside Wikipedia articles
  1. ((National Institutes of Health)) should be placed at the bottom of the page of those articles which are high importance and inseparably associated with the NIH.
  2. Category:National Institutes of Health should be placed at the bottom of the page of any article which features a subject which has any significant relationship with the NIH. This category places that article in a broad category-based classification system.
  3. Template:HHS content for tagging articles incorporating public domain NIH content
  4. Category:USGov copyright templates includes categories for tagging public domain images
