Consider looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse. If you are not currently a project participant and wish to help you may still participate in the project or its parent project WikiProject Television. This status should be changed if collaborative activity resumes.
Our project is designed to help collaborate a group effort in improving all articles related to the television show Awake. It is free for all and anybody can join, even if you are new to Wikipedia or just have not edited the Awake articles before! You can help us out in small ways by just fixing a typographical error here and there or you could write extended summaries for Awake episodes. You could even help cite things to help make all articles related to Awake comprehensive and factual. Some of the core project goals are to maintain cited and comprehensive articles related to Awake and to create a consistent and detailed look for each page. Currently, this project focuses on "in-universe" articles, in addition to essential crew and actors/actresses who have received series regular status.
Our project produces a weekly newsletter with updates about the project. Other topics the newsletter consists of is welcoming new users, announcing new featured content and nominees, as well as a weekly initiative. Every week, the newsletter posts a "Weekly Initiative", and it changes every few weeks. The Weekly Initiative consists of a goal (such as developing a character article to GA status) to be completed, with a barnstar or love token being given for each user who participates. Every member gets the newsletter posted to their talk page, and it is written and coordinated by TBrandley. If you are not receiving newsletters, please contact the coordinator. All members are encouraged to give ideas, which can be listed at the project talk page. The current newsletter is always posted at The Newsletter Page, and a list of past archives are given here.
Each Project is in charge of assigning a rating and importance level to each article within their scope. Every member is encouraged to use the rubric, to check each page occasionally, making sure the rating and importance still apply. The rubric for importance is:
WikiProject Awake maintains an A-Class review, to recognize articles that meet the A-Class criteria. Full instructions are given at the review page, but the process is similar to featured article candidates. The goal of this process is to give nominators a taste of what the FAC process is like—it is expected that if the article is approved for A-Class, it will be near ready for FAC. We highly recommend going through the A-Class process with "your" article before FAC, especially if you have never experienced FAC, as it will ease you into the process, and show you what to expect. Before nominating an article, please be sure to read all of the instructions at the review page.
Please view this information before applying for a position
The administrative board of the Awake task force, exists in an attempt to maintain order, as well as get things done efficiently. Different positions are appointed to members of the project, and each position requires the board member to perform the tasks associated with their position. Members of the board are active members of the project, who have earned the reputation of a constructive editor. There are four positions on the board, and anyone can get the chance to join! The only basic requirements are that you've been a member for at least one month, constructively contributing, while having caused no intentional trouble to the pages in the scope. Also, any blocks must be one month old before joining the board. If a board member is not doing their job, or is inactive, they will be removed from the board. If you would like to be on the board, please pick a position that says "open" next to it, and tell the coordinator which position you would like. The coordinator will check to make sure you meet the criteria, and contact you with further information. If all positions are filled, please contact the coordinator, and you will be placed on a waiting list. We hope you decide to join, and make a difference to Wikipedia!
