WikiProject Luxembourg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. GoalsEditWithin 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:

Adopt an articleEditYou 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 adoptionsEditStyle conventionsEditThe following are conventions for the editing of articles within the scope of 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.

Any article created in the past three months is eligible to be listed here. 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). Alternatively, if you have created many articles on similar subjects, you might want to choose one as an example of the new additions to the WikiProject.
New listsEditPlease feel free to list your new Luxembourg-related lists here (newer articles at the top, please). Did You Know?EditAny new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYK has a 5-day time limit from the creation of the article. Below are listed all of the Luxembourg-related articles featured in DYK.

Featured list candidatesEditAssessmentEditThe 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. RequestsEditI believe that people from traditional Luxembourg participated in the Revolution of 1830 for independence from the House of Orange. I would like to know if all of Luxembourg participated or at least how much. By the treaties of circa 1838, 1839 traditional Luxembourg was dismantled and left with its present (much smaller) size. I would like to know if partition was imposed on Belgium/Luxembourg by the three large powers (Prussia, France, Britain, or any one/two) or if there are groups of Luxembourgers who pushed for the partition. Groups of people getting their own way is very rare. I saw what Dumont wrote in his History of Belgium. I would like to see the history as written by the those in the Grand Duchy. It is after all, the history of the beginning of your modern state. Thank you. Laburke (talk) 16:20, 7 September 2010 (UTC) An article on Raymond Beringer would be great. Beringer was a prominent member of the Luxembourg platoon in Korea who was recommended for the US Silver Star medal for exceptional heroism at the Battle of Chatkol in 1953. Thanks. Brigade Piron (talk) 13:46, 13 July 2012 (UTC) How about a Roman Luxembourg to go with the excellent Celtic Luxembourg article? -- Brigade Piron (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2012 (UTC) ResourcesEdit![]() A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available.
