[edit] Title

WikiProject on Constructed languages

[edit] Scope

[edit] Generally

  • Observing, maintaining, organising and improving all articles on Wikipedia relating to constructed languages.
  • Providing a reliable source of information regarding constructed languages, available on request.

[edit] Specifically

  • Expanding stubs into substantial articles.
  • Whenever possible, putting in good articles on notable conlangs.
  • Making sure that all current conlang articles meet certain criteria, such as:
    • it should be made clear in the article why the language is notable, interesting or unique;
    • each article about a conlang should contain a sample of the language, when available;
    • applying the {{language}} template in all conlang articles;
    • if applicable, each article should contain good references, bibliography and external links sections.
  • Preparing a conlang template (see below).
  • Discussing a list of conlangs that arguably deserve articles (the "Things you can do" section on Portal:Constructed languages could serve as a starting point)
  • Nominating non-notable and/or non-verifiable articles for deletion; moving them to the Conlang Wiki at Wikicities if warranted.
  • NPOVing conlang articles are positive summaries added by self-interested creators, or nominating them for deletion.
  • Applying the criteria for inclusion that will turn out from the straw poll about our proposed policy regarding conlangs.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
