Wikipedia:WikiProject Central Asia

This project aims to expand, cleanup and wikify, better organize, and neutralize the point of view on articles related to Central Asia, including, but not limited to Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, western Pakistan (North West Frontier Province and Baluchistan}, Xinjiang, Tibet and Central Asian portions of Russia. 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.

Goals

1. To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and cultures of Central Asia and Central Asian peoples.
2. To standardize articles on Central Asia and Central Asian subjects with similar layouts and formatting.
3. To standardize the use of local-language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.
