[edit] Goals
- To provide guidelines and suggestions for new and existing articles that describe aspects of Australian maritime history.
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Australian maritime history by creating, expanding, and maintaining articles related to the subject.
- To address POV issues and tentative edits in articles within the scope of the project.
- To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to the maritime history of Australia in Wikipedia.
- To co-operate and collaborate with the Australian history project
[edit] Scope
The project generally considers any article related to the prehistory, and history or maritime affairs of Oceania and Australasia to be within its scope.
As a related project to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian history - to consolidate and link to articles that relate to maritime affairs within Australian history. It would be in tandem in with the Australian history project - but would also co-ordinate the creation of systematic appraisals of coastal shipping, ports, ships and conditions over the Australian history time range.
[edit] Geographical boundaries
The boundaries of the legal limits of the Australian seabed and continental shelf control define one aspect of 'Australian Waters' - however this project also extends to the Indonesian Archipelago, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean and Pacific Ocean - each of these regions/oceans and their conditions have governed Australian maritime history.
[edit] Included Australian states and territories
With the start up of Australian state Wikiprojects - maritime history project relationship is as a related project.
[edit] Project development strategy
- To take consideration of the issues raised at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide
- Establish Project page in correct format
- Determine similar Projects from other countries
- Establish acceptance of the range of articles, and checking Australian articles for tie-ins
- Determine a strategy for categorising or listing existing articles
- Establish a notability criteria for: Voyages, Ships, Ports
[edit] Standards and notability
- Considerable emphasis in this project will be made in referencing and citation usage at the commencement of articles - and hopefully minimal red link usage, to sustain high standards.
- Refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject History for pre-existing standards
- In general the articles (or lists) are for the whole of Australia - where the information is state or region specific - the hierarchy is first state, then region within the state.
- Article assessment is available through - Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment
[edit] Notability criteria
In order to maintain a reasonable level of notability for Australian maritime history articles, the minimum inclusion criteria is proposed as follows:
| Ships |
|
| Voyages |
|
| Ports |
|
[edit] Article creation
Articles maintained by this WikiProject are grouped in Category:WikiProject Australian maritime history articles .
They are identfied by using the maritime=yes parameter within the {{WP Australia}} template.
- Usage: {{WP Australia|maritime=yes}}
