Print Wiki

Welcome to the Wiki of the Prints and Printmaking Enthusiasts group on LinkedIn
This Wiki serves as the "collective online memory" of the Prints and Printmaking Enthusiasts group on LinkedIn, and as a general resource on everything related to prints and printmaking.

The LinkedIn group is for anyone who is interested in prints and printmaking, especially those who deal with prints on a professional level. Art historians, printmakers, curators, collectors, art dealers, etc. Any prints are of interest: from engravings to silkscreens, Western prints to Japanese woodcuts. Everyone can add to the Wiki and edit it. The administrator will periodically edit contributions to keep a relatively uniform formatting.

How Wiki Works
Here are some links on how to use the wiki.

video how to use wikis The "save button" is called "publish" in our wiki.

Why Wiki Works:

"What stops impolite individuals from just deleting whole bunches of pages? The previous version of a page is always available, and edits from a single IP are rolled into a single change, so one person from one IP can't by themselves irretrievably delete material. There are also backups, which are very rarely necessary. See WikiErase, WhyNobodyDeletesWiki."

Announcements
Thanks for adding photos to the Wiki! If possible, please give the images a caption: maker, title, date, technique, and possibly a short blurb on the content of the image or anything about the image. That gives the pictures some context. I figured out how to do that after adding an image:

1) Click on image.

2) Click on the little magnifying glass in the lower right corner

3) In the Image information page that now opens, click "edit"

4) Paste or write your information in the empty field that you see here (it will appear under the image

5) Click "publish." - you're done

I expect it to be simpler when it's done while first uploading the image.

It's great collaborating!
