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. Goals 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: Produce several showcase articles, covering the main areas of Luxembourg geography, history, culture, and economy. Reduce the number of red links within articles on Luxembourg. Sometimes, a stub is all that is required. Channel local knowledge of Luxembourg into the articles. Achieve better coordination with the Luxembourgish, French, and German Wikipedias' content on Luxembourg. Improve the number of images in articles, particularly photographs of people. Projects Tag and assess all Luxembourg-related articles with {{WikiProject Luxembourg}}. Introduce 'Bottom-importance' categorisation to refine categorisation of 'Low-importance' articles. Luxembourg-related articles up for deletion. Article alerts Articles for creation 12 May 2022 – Draft:Luxembourg Open (badminton) (talk · edit · hist) has been submitted for AfC by Fahrurozi.86 (t · c) Tasks Promote Luxembourg to a Featured Article. Promote Luxembourg (city) to a Good Article. Create an over-arching article on the History of Luxembourg, linking together the in-depth articles to form one broad narrative. Write bodies of text for each Prime Minister of Luxembourg. Write bodies of text for each Canton of Luxembourg.

Structure Parentage Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries Hierarchy definition No classification of this project has been defined. Adopt an article 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 Style conventions 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 usage 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. "Luxembourg" is currently the preferred adjective of Luxembourg (e.g. Luxembourg elections, Luxembourg government). For a full discussion of alternatives, see "Luxembourg", "Luxembourgish" or "Luxembourgian"?. 'Luxembourger' is the undisputed demonym. Languages 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. Settlements 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).

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.

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. Requests I 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.
