Structure

Articles on Antarctica Highways should be named with the convention: Antarctica Route x (where x is the route number). If a more common name can be found for the highway, use that instead. For footrails, the naming convention is Antarctica n Trail (where n is the name of the trails). For routes made by penguins, the naming convention is Penguin Path z (Antarctica) (where z is the route number). Please note that Penguin trails use the Principle 2 format from WP:SRNC; this is to ensure SPUI's happiness.

Goals

  • Phase 1: Find Antarctica Highways
  • Phase 2: ????
  • Phase 3: BIG PROFIT!

Antarctica Highways Found

Tasks

Adopt an article

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, picture-taking (if possible), or doing construction work 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.

  • Example article: ...

Did you know?

  • There are no paved roads in Antarctica.
  • It is cold in Antarctica.

Importance scale

Extreme Any article we've been offered large cash bribes honoraria to write, whether it has anything to do with Antarctica or roads
Top Major highways in Antarctica
High Highways opening soon (the meaning of soon is up to the writer, but it should not be more than 40 years)
Mid Highways in one's imagination
Low Penguin Paths

Quality scale

Label Criteria
FA
{{FA-Class}} 		It'll never happen, so keep dreaming.
FL
{{FL-Class}} 		When pigs penguins fly.
A
{{A-Class}} 		The highway actually exists and has an article that has survived Articles for Deletion.
GA
{{GA-Class}} 		Heck, if there is a full paragraph, that's good enough! A source or two wouldn't be bad though, but it's not required.
B
{{B-Class}} 		Article has at least one complete sentence that may or may not make any sense.
C
{{C-Class}} 		Article shows an attempt by an editor to put two or more words together to form a coherent phrase.
Start
{{Start-Class}} 		A page about an Antarctica highway was accidentally created through some perplexing chain of events.
Stub
{{Stub-Class}} 		We put this tag on articles that have nothing to do with this WikiProject's scope just to piss people off.
List
{{List-Class}} 		This class is for lists... I don't think we'll ever use this one.

Articles

Assessment

This project now engages in assessments. Editors willing to help assess the staggering number of articles we deal with are urgently needed!

Collaboration

Like many other projects, we believe it is vital to bring focused attention on given articles to improve them. Given the, ahem, lack of manual dexterity many of our members might have, it also will help to have those members who can type assist those who can't.

Translation

Editors who can assist in translation from Aptenodytes and other related languages would be extremely valuable. Anyone who can assist is welcome to indicate as much here.

Peer review

Please list any articles for peer review here.
