Project
Welcome to WikiProject Luxembourg, a collaboration to improve all manner of articles related to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The WikiProject aims to coordinate this effort to galvanise its members to improve articles about Luxembourg more effectively. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of the members; 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:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

Scope
Within the scope of this WikiProject lies every article to do with Luxembourg: the land, the people, the history.
The goal of the WikiProject is to improve the coverage of Luxembourg, and all of its facets, so that the articles on Luxembourg are of such a high quality and quantity that the casual visitor will forget (or not realise in the first place) that Luxembourg has a population of under half a million people.
Specifically, the WikiProject has been set up to:
  1. Produce several showcase articles, covering the main areas of Luxembourg geography, history, culture, and economy.
  2. Reduce the number of red links within articles on Luxembourg. Sometimes, a stub is all that is required.
  3. Channel local knowledge of Luxembourg into the articles.
  4. Achieve better coordination with the Luxembourgish, French, and German Wikipedias' content on Luxembourg.
  5. Improve the number of images in articles, particularly photographs of people.
WikiProjects
Flag of Luxembourg.svg You are invited to participate in WikiProject Luxembourg, a WikiProject dedicated to developing and improving articles about Luxembourg.

The time in Luxembourg is 19:55, 3 June 2023 CEST [refresh].

StructureEdit

ParentageEdit

Hierarchy definitionEdit

No classification of this project has been defined.

Adopt an articleEdit

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 adoptionsEdit

Style conventionsEdit

The following are conventions for the editing of articles within the scope of WikiProject Luxembourg. To discuss the conventions as they are now, or to suggest new additions, visit the talk page.

Spelling and usageEdit

  • British English is to be used for all articles. This reflects the overwhelming usage in both official and unofficial circles in Luxembourg and Europe as a whole. Exceptions may be made if the article is connected to a country in which the norm is to use another dialect of English, e.g. Luxembourg American.

LanguagesEdit

  • Article titles are to be rendered as they are usually in English. A good way to check is to use the Luxembourg Tourist Office, or similar 'official' sites directed at English speakers. This is not to say that names not derived from English are unacceptable, provided that they are regularly adopted by English speakers, e.g. Gëlle Fra. If it is the case that an article does use a non-English title, the usual English-derived title is to be the first name given, as in the case of Gëlle Fra's title of 'Monument of Remembrance'.
  • All alternative names in the three official languages of Luxembourg should then be given. They are to be in the order of: Luxembourgish, French, German. For an example, see Adolphe Bridge. If a name in one of the languages is the same as that in English, it can be excepted, e.g. 'Eisch' is the name in English, French, and German, but not Luxembourgish.

SettlementsEdit

  • Settlements should be defined as being 'towns', 'small towns', 'villages', or 'hamlets' depending entirely upon population size as follows:
0 – 25: Hamlet
25 – 250: Village
250 – 1,000: Small Town
1,000 +: Town
Luxembourg City is a special case, and is always described as a 'city', despite that term having a specific legal meaning (see: List of cities in Luxembourg).

Stub templatesEdit

There are currently four stub templates used extensively by WikiProject Luxembourg:

Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.

You don't have to list all of your creations, but any that might be of interest to other users would be welcomed (all stubs are probably notable).

AssessmentEdit

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles on Luxembourg. Currently, the article ratings are used primarily within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Luxembourg article}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
