[edit] Scope and Motivation

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Ireland. This page and its subpages contain their ideas; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

This project has been created in an attempt to improve existing articles relating to Ireland, and to help with the creation of needed articles. It aims primarily to provide information in consistent format for articles on places in, or related to Ireland. On top of this, it aims to get the main Ireland article to featured status, whilst aiding the maintenance and improvement of the Ireland Portal.

Articles and categories relating to Ireland are extensive and work needs to be/is being done across a multitude of areas. In order to gain the benefits of collaboration, please update this page with any relevant "to do’s.

[edit] Major pending tasks

  1. Modify WPI template so that it follows the hierarchy structure found in Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia.
  2. Add the new {{WPI}} template to all Ireland-related articles' talk pages, without engaging in too much templatomania.
    N.B. - please do not substitute the template, as any future changes to the template will not be updated automatically. On top of this, a substituted inclusion will not appear on the list of links that provides a guage for the size of the WikiProject and ultimately all articles within the WikiProject (and does not include any non-relevant pages).


  • Completely overhaul this page into a more coherent format.
    • Insert templates on talk pages of Ireland-related articles referring to new MOS (yet to be created) page.
    • Create project space Manual of Style article and template.
    • Implement a guidance template to direct users to all the relevant pages (as per WP:WPF)
  • Implement a "Series on Ireland" template along the lines of {{Christianity}}

  2. To improve the standard of articles relating to Ireland in general.
  3. To standardise many article types so that there is some measure of consistancy throughout.
  4. To examine the number of red-links in articles within the scope, and to determine if they should be de-linked, or that articles should be created.

[edit] Useful categories

The following Ireland-related topics can be turned into an encyclopaedic article called List of Irish topics which is part of Category:Topic lists.

[edit] Reference

[edit] Projects

  1. Compile a list of missing articles and catalogue them by status - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Missing articles

Possibly the wrong place, but some of the contributors may want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Gaelic Games. It's not getting a large amount of attention apart from the contributions of Gnevin, Derry Boi, and myself. Pauric 22:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tasks

  • To Do List
  1. Invite new members, by contacting editors who have made substantial Ireland-related edits in the past
  2. Fix templates to talk pages
  3. Construct /Article Classification by following the category 'tree'
  4. Assess articles at /Article Classification


[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.

[edit] Requests

I'm seeking an image for the article on the Clonard monastic site which I created this evening. If anyone lives nearby and can take some illustrative snapshots (with the understanding that there's not much there), I'd be grateful. I'm awaiting a response from the presumed rightsholder on a nice aerial photo I found. Dppowell 04:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Structure

[edit] Parentage

This project is categorized under the Category:Regional WikiProjects. The regional parent would be Wikipedia:WikiProject European Union.

Until the creation of specific daughter projects, the project covers a wide range of subjects (History, Society, Geography, Politics, Biography etc.) and, as a result has no single parent to it.
