This WikiProject is defunct.
It has been merged into or replaced by WikiProject Firefighting‎. Consider participating in that or looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse.

If you feel this project may be worth reviving, please discuss with related projects first. Feel free to change this tag if the parameters were changed in error.

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to fire protection systems. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; 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.

Adopt an article edit

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.

Current adoptions edit

Example article: User:Example
National Fire Protection Association: I'll be overhauling this page, initially as a copy under my user page (user:Pskgoldberg/NFPA). This is my first venture as a wikipedian, and would appreciate any suggestions or comments, especially with regards to fitting this page in with the rest of the project. -- (Pskg) 09:00 30 May 2007
Aspirated smoke detector, Smoke detector: I'll be expanding the first article, and tidying up the latter + adding references. If someone could help me do that, it would be great! Also, it would be nice if someone joined the discussion, on whether or not they should be merged. -- Nabifly (talk) 03:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Templates edit

Template:Fire protection - Infobox containing links to fire protection articles. (Seen above)
Template:WikiProject Fire Protection - Box describing the project. This box goes at the top of talk pages for articles and project pages.

Stub templates edit

This project has no dedicated stub template, however, the following are recommended:

{{company-stub}} for fire protection manufacturers
{{Tool-stub}} for other articles

These stub templates are not perfect fits, but perhaps in the future we will be able to get our own stub template.
