This week, we ordered a round with WikiProject Beer. Started in March 2005, the project has seen many ups and downs, shifting from a thriving community in 2006 to a battlefield in 2007 to a shell of its former self in 2008. Since then, old and new contributors have gradually rebuilt the project, which now includes over 100 members working on 1,700 pages. The project covers the beverage, breweries, brands, festivals, organizations, drinking games, and drinking establishments. Contributors are invited to peruse the project's collection of online sources when creating and expanding articles. WikiProject Beer is part of the large WikiProject Food and Drink family, serving as a parent for the Pub Task Force and sharing resources with the Beverages Task Force, Bartending Task Force, WikiProject Wine, and WikiProject Spirits. We interviewed SilkTork and Farrtj.
What motivated you to join WikiProject Beer? What kind of beer do you prefer?
On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate Wikipedia's coverage of beer and related topics? Are there aspects of beer that are better covered than others?
What are some of the biggest challenges to improving articles about beer? Does the project deal with a considerable amount of vandalism? How frequently does the notability of drinks and pubs become an issue?
How difficult is it to find images for beer articles? Are there any articles badly in need of photography to which the readers of the Signpost could easily contribute?
Describe the relationship between WikiProject Beer and its parent, WikiProject Food and Drink. Does WikiProject Beer collaborate with WikiProject Wine or WikiProject Spirits? Have you been involved in any of the task forces for bartending, pubs, and beverages?
Next week, the Report will drop by a major metropolitan area in the
world's second largest country geographically. You'll be visiting the
archive until then,
eh?
