Project organizationEdit
MembersEdit
If this project interests you, you are encouraged to Join by adding yourself to the membership list.
DepartmentsEdit
AssessmentEdit
The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Literature articles. The article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
CollaborationEdit
The project's Collaboration department seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. A single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. The current collaboration article is Literature.
Any Literature article is eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.
Task forcesEdit
Task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of Literature (as defined in the "scope" above); all project members are encouraged to participate in any task forces that interest them.
Recognized contentEdit
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Literature}}) or categorized correctly. See WP:RECOG for configuration options. |
