[edit] Introduction

This WikiProject aims to organize, improve the quality, and provide accurate information in an established, community-driven, Wikipedia standard for the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its related articles. The importance of these articles for new users, research, education, and the pursuit of accumulated knowledge will be accomplished through our efforts in providing a consistent format and standard to our articles. 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 participate, please follow the instruction on the Member's Page.

From Qyd

Can we make British Columbia a Featured Article(FA) ??
Expand articles listed in:
- Category:British Columbia stubs
- Category:British Columbia geography stubs
- Especially those found in the lists at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/British Columbia articles by quality that are High or Mid importance but are still only Stub or Start quality.
- Stubs in Category:Provincial Parks of British Columbia.
Organize list structure and add to list of needed articles:
- WikiProject British Columbia/Article requests
Check for and do needed articles at:
- WikiProject British Columbia/Article requests
Establish collaborations and improvements for British Columbia related articles
For Photo Requests, add {{reqphoto|in=British Columbia}} to the talk page. (see {{reqphoto}})
For Map Requests Use {{reqmapin|British Columbia}} on talk page of articles needing maps which will list maps needed at: Category:Wikipedia requested maps in British Columbia. As an alternative using {{coord|50|28|N|126|05|W|display=title|region:CA_type:waterbody}}, for example, as it appears on Johnstone Strait gives a link to map/sat images that is a reasonable alternative. See {{coord}} for more information. Also consider adding link to BC Government place name database using {{BCGNIS}} template.
Assessments
- Review existing assessment of articles and reassess following WikiProject British Columbia/Assessment
- Clarify assessment criteria at WikiProject British Columbia/Assessment
Add BC Project tag to remaining BC Highways. See note at Category talk:British Columbia provincial highways.
Cleanup BC-STV.
There are getting to be quite a few B Class articles in this project. The next step in the assessment process is to nominate these articles as Good Articles following the nomination process.
Browse the BC New Articles page to see what the bot has found.
Add BCProject template to articles within project scope. Use {{WikiProject Canada|bc=yes|class=Stub|importance=low}} following the assessment guidelines (importance = low, mid, high or top, class = stub, start, b, ga, a or fa). Here are some of the many BC categories (drill to sub and parent categories as well) where you can look for untagged articles and articles to expand:
