Wikimedia subject-area collaboration
This is a
WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate! (Tag placed August 2020)
This table is now up to date again.
It is updated by a tool on the toolserver; it will not work if the toolserver is having problems.
If
this chart is showing much more than zero, then the table will be updated slowly or not at all.
to provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe aspects of India,
to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India by creating, expanding, and maintaining factual articles,
to serve as the point of discussion for issues related to India in Wikipedia.
To achieve the goals, this project group has developed features to help in managing its creative work. It includes
Departments, which coordinate work on certain tasks, such as peer review or project-wide collaboration and
Work Groups, and focus on content and articles related to India, such as cities, politics and culture.
Departments are groups of members who do specific work. Tasks include authoring, maintaining the project pages, administering portals, adding articles, participating in reviews, managing the project and so on. The following is a list of departments within the WikiProject. WikiProject Members may not necessarily do only departmental tasks. They can contribute content as a member of Work Groups as well.
Coverage
Refine and maintain the List of basic India topics, a key guide on Wikipedia to India as a subject. It serves as a table of contents, summary, and topic outline of coverage on the country India and is the most useful tool on Wikipedia for exploring and understanding fundamental material about India (and how it fits together) on Wikipedia. Its purpose is an important one: it simply enables readers to see at a glance how the subject of India is broken down, what the component topics are, and how they relate to each other - that is, how information on India is organized (here, and in the world-at-large). It is a site map and outline of knowledge that demystifies the subject known as "India". Because of its central role in the presentation of Wikipedia's coverage of this subject, it is very important to develop and maintain it to the highest level of quality: to help readers improve their conceptual awareness and understanding of India as well as find their way around this subject on Wikipedia. For examples of other pages in this set, see
List of basic France topics,
List of basic Thailand topics,
List of basic Japan topics,
List of basic Taiwan topics, and
List of basic Iceland topics, all of which are currently completed to a higher level of quality than this page. In other words, much work needs to be done: the
List of basic India topics is incomplete, needs your editing contributions, and is especially in need of pictures!
Guide
The guide makes a list of tools, scripts and suggestions required for editing WikiProject India related articles.
Assessment
The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Indian articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the
WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject India}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an
automatically generated worklist.
Peer review
The peer review department conducts peer reviews of India-related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.
Photography
The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in India articles.
Cartography
The cartography department aims to create a collection of high-quality maps for use in India articles. The department gathers existing public domain and
free-license maps as well as creating new ones from other materials where no suitable maps can be found. All project members are welcome to request additional maps that may be needed for particular articles from the department.
Requests
The Requested articles and Request department aims to organize, create and elevate the status of requested articles as well as properly categorize all newly created articles and remember to tag with wikiproject India.
Per the
Manual of Style page on India-related articles, avoid the use of Indic scripts in the
lead sections or
infoboxes. Instead, use
International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciation guides, which are more international. Exceptions are articles on the script itself, articles on a language that uses the script, and articles on texts originally written in a particular script. This does not apply to articles that are not predominantly within the scope of WikiProject India.
If you notice someone making outstanding contributions to this project or any of the descendant WikiProjects, please feel free to give them any of the following
