WikiProject Bristol
Welcome to WikiProject Bristol! The goal of this project is to improve all articles relating to Bristol, making Wikipedia one of the best online resources on the subject.
As it currently stands, the vast majority of these articles are in need of some serious attention. While many of the important topics do have existing articles, the quality of these can be quite poor. If you would like to participate in the project, please sign up below, look for jobs in the to-do list, and join in with project-related discussions at the talk page.
Goals edit
Roughly in order of priority.
- Make Bristol a featured article.
- Create articles on all important sub-divisions and places of interest in Bristol.
- Maintain Portal:Bristol
- Add basic data such as population and maps to all sub-divisions of Bristol.
- Add at least one photograph to every sub-division and place of interest in Bristol.
- Possibly create an infobox for places of interest with maps, visitor numbers etc.
- Make History of Bristol, Culture of Bristol, Economy and industry of Bristol, Politics of Bristol and Transport in Bristol good, and ultimately featured articles.
- Possibly create our own local Wikipedia 1.0.
To-do list edit
- Improve top priority Bristol articles (stubs | start-class | C-class | B-class)
- Create new articles - we have a list of plays and related articles identified by the project at articles needing creation
- Prioritise work on articles found in unknown-importance Bristol articles - see article assessment to help decide if an article is of top, high, mid or low importance to the project.
