Point out the WikiProject Architecture and the related WikiProject Architecture/Assessment pages.
- As of 2024-01-24, the latter lists 72 "high importance", 858 "medium importance", and 16,887 "low importance" stub pages that would be good candidates for enhancement efforts.
Also the WikiProject Graphic Design and WikiProject Industrial Design pages (much smaller projects in comparison).
Start with hands-on exercises using everyone's individual "sandbox" to get them used to the mechanics:
- Visual editor vs. Wiki code
- Copying and pasting a section of an existing Wikipedia article as a starting point-for example, the templates for Architecture pages
- Adding citations for articles, books, and web sites (DOIs and ISBNs!)
  - Sonja Bata - Order of Canada in 1983 from Toronto Star
- Linking: from your article to other articles; to external (outside of Wikipedia) resources
- Adding images
- Infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox architect, Template:Infobox architectural practice)
Contribute photos, images, audio, video to Wikimedia Commons that you can add to your Wikipedia article
- Include copyright and licensing (e.g. Architects retain copyright over building design, but photos of publicly visible buildings are acceptable)
Touch on the community aspects of Wikipedia:
- Talk pages (important context for existing pages)
- Tags
- History (more context for pages)
- Notability & nominations for deletion (briefly)
