WikiProject Japan is a WikiProject set up to better organize and present information in all articles related to Japan. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of interested Wikipedians to improve all Japan-related articles in order to make Wikipedia an excellent resource for Japan-related information for all who visit. If you would like to help, please sign up on the participants page and see the to-do list below for ideas of where to start. There's plenty of work to go around!
The navbox to the right gives access to most areas of the project.
This project is designed to help those interested in improving all of the Japan-related articles on Wikipedia to find a particular area in which they are interested in working. As "Japan" is a broad subject, there are many taskforces and collaborations (see the navbox to the right for a full list) in which you can participate. We want to:
- Allow people to more easily locate groups working on Japan-related WikiProjects
- Create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Japan and the Japanese
- Expand the number of articles regarding Japan and Japanese subjects
- Further #3 by expanding all Japan-related article stubs
- Highlight Japan's relationship and contributions to the rest of the world
- Properly source all Japan-related articles, preferably using the <ref> element and the {{cite}} series of templates
- Standardize the style and format of articles on Japan or Japanese subjects; and
- Standardize the use of Japanese-language terms, names, and translations into English across all related articles, bringing them in line with the WP:MOS-JA.
- Patrol recent changes to existing Japan-related articles for vandalism and poor-quality edits, and correct them to maintain the articles.
Please help as much as you can with our big list of unreferenced biographies of living people. The oldest tagged articles need help first as they are likely to be deleted before any more recently-tagged articles. Whether you can do one article or 100, your help is needed and appreciated. Thanks!
Japan-related articles for deletion are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Japan. Please go and express your opinion regarding any articles listed there.
