Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. |
WikiProject Ireland is a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ireland. This page and its subpages contain their ideas; 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:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
This project has been created in an attempt to improve existing articles relating to Ireland, and to help with the creation of needed articles. It aims primarily to provide information in consistent format for articles on places in, or related to Ireland. On top of this, it aims to get the main Ireland article to featured status, whilst aiding the maintenance and improvement of the Ireland Portal.
Articles and categories relating to Ireland are extensive and work needs to be/is being done across a multitude of areas. In order to gain the benefits of collaboration, please update this page with any relevant "to do’s.

To do [edit]
- The main Dublin article needs to achieve featured status.
- Every locality needs at least a 500-character stub article, built on top of its framework article.
- All areas of historic importance need substantial articles.
- The article on the Mahon Tribunal needs to be tidied up, verified, and fact-checked.
- Irish (Gaelic) words and phrases should be marked up using {{lang}}, thus:
{{lang-ga|Páirc na hÉireann}}.
Ireland articles that have been tagged with templates [edit]
To list individual Ireland related articles need images fill in the "image-needed" parameter in the project tag {{WikiProject Ireland}} on the article talk page and it will be listed here
Tagged with WPIE template [edit]
For a complete list of the progress in tagging Irish related articles with the project template, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Assessment and their current statistics.
Since July 2007, when 1,044 articles were tagged and many were unassessed or classified, much work has been done and as of 19 March 2008, 12,705 articles were tagged with none being unassessed and around 1,000 being unclassified, most being stubs. By 6 May 2008, 20,180 articles had been tagged, of which only were unassessed or unclassified.
Request Photo [edit]
In order to create a gallery from which Wikipedians can source pictures of Ireland for use in articles, upload to Wikimedia Commons and please list GFDL-licensed or fair use pictures here.
If you require pictures, please add {{Image requested}} with the appropriate county parameter to the talk page of the article. This will add the article to the correct category under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Ireland
If you would like to help with sourcing pictures please check out the sub-categories of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Ireland
Departments [edit]

Useful categories [edit]
Find articles of interest to edit or improve in the following categories:
Reference [edit]
Projects [edit]
- Compile a list of missing articles and catalogue them by status - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Missing articles
Tasks [edit]
- Invite new members, by contacting editors who have made substantial Ireland-related edits in the past
- Fix templates to talk pages
- Construct /Article Classification by following the category 'tree'
- Assess articles at /Article Classification
Adopt an article [edit]
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, 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.
