Zelda Wiki:SaRIA

S.A.R.I.A.
Welcome to SaRIA (Source and Reference Improvement Association)!

Goals

 * 1) To add sources and references to as many articles that are tagged with the template as possible.
 * 2) To include at least a small amount of sources and references for all new articles and page.
 * 3) To ensure that all sources and references are reliable and of high quality.

General Referencing Tips
References Revisit the source(s) of the article and find more things to write with the goal of expanding the article in mind.
 * Take notes and use specific quotes for references from the game, instruction manual, official guides, official site, or even developer quotes.
 * See Help:References for help with including references or even ask any of the in-house Citationists.
 * Use to mark statements needing a source.
 * Use for long lists of references to utilize a scroll bar Reference Section.
 * Bear in mind that many references can be pasted into downstream topics. Few references only refer to a single article topic. For example:
 * "Your goal is to destroy the dark magic barrier at the end of each stage. The only way to destroy the barrier is with the magic Force Gem power of the legendary Four Sword." (Four Swords Adventures manual, pg. 18)
 * Can be pasted on 3 pages, Force Gem, Four Sword, and Dark Magic Barrier. Possibly even more pages such as a stage article, the game article, etc. Be creative!


 * Avoid placing the reference section above Galleries. Few ZW viewers would want to see the wall of reference text over an image gallery, and it is consistent with how encyclopedias are generally formatted.

Badge
SaRIA has a "badge" that is available to the confirmed SaRIA members. It comes in the form of an icon that is displayed at the top of your userpage, and it can be seen here. To add the badge, type, with offset being a number that moves the icon farther to the left. The template will not work if you are not a confirmed member of SaRIA.

Current Projects
If you would like to nominate a project that needs to be worked on by the SaRIA team, you can do so here. It should be kept to around 10 or so pages at once, but there's a little room to maneuver around that.


 * 1) Moblin Another Featured Article missing references. ZW once had lower standards. Let's source it up to save the Featured Status.
 * 2) The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage - A page as ambiguous as this really needs to have a handful of sources.
 * 3) Zelda III - This page has the same problem as Mystical Seed of Courage.
 * 4) Links- Not a single source other than the leading quote.
 * 5) Permanently Missable Items - This page really needs some sources.
 * 6) Business Scrub Association - Needs some sources added to the current info.
 * 7) Business Scrub - Similar to the page above. Has no references, but a good amount of info.
 * 8) BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets - This page currently has no refs, something that really needs to be fixed.
