| Welcome to the WikiProject Geelong |
Our goals are:
|
We need your help! If you are from Geelong, or know something about the city, you can:

Also visit the Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard for collaboration on Australian articles in general.
[edit] Scope
The areas covered by this project are listed below. Each area has its own page for the discussion and formulation of guidelines and conventions, as well as for listing examples of the best articles. If a page does not yet exist for a particular area, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organised.
[edit] Ways to complete our goal
- Create more quality articles on Geelong
- Add quality information and images to Geelong related stubs.
- Attract attention from editors interested in Geelong and Geelong-related topics.
If you would like to help, you can view all articles related to this WikiProject here, or help us expand on our stubs. For a full list, see this page: Category:Geelong Stubs
[edit] Article assessment
The {{WP Australia}} template has a Geelong= parameter that provides article assessment ratings for Geelong-related articles:
-
- Example: {{WP Australia| Geelong=yes}}
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following values may be used for the parameters. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:
[edit] Article quality
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Geelong articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Geelong articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Geelong articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Geelong articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Geelong articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Geelong articles)
- NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to
Category:Non-article Australia pages)
If a rating is not assigned when the {{WP Australia}} is added, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed Geelong articles by default. If assessing the article, the class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment.
[edit] Article importance
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Australia articles)
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Australia articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Australia articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Australia articles)
If an importance rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unknown-importance Australia articles by default.
[edit] Legend
| Article progress grading scheme | |
|---|---|
 FA |
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. Example: Algorithm |
| A | The article provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes a well-written introduction to the topic, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from textbooks or peer-reviewed papers rather than websites. It contain illustrations where appropriate (with no copyright problems). It should be at the stage where it meets the criteria for or is a Good article. Example: Ammonia (as of Oct 2005). |
| B | The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow, or it may need to be edited to follow standard English spelling and conventions. For maths articles, articles which are overly technical and fail to explain the basics would often end up here. Example: Antarctica (as of Oct 2005) is a good start but contains too many lists, and it needs more prose content & references. |
| Start | The article has a good amount of content, but it is still weak in certain areas, and may lack a table. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Example: Arithmetic (as of Oct 2005). |
| Stub | The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level, although there may be a significant amount of material in the article. |
Need: The article's importance, regardless of its quality
| Top | Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopaedia |
| High | Subject contributes a depth of knowledge |
| Mid | Subject fills in more minor details |
| Low | Subject is peripheral knowledge, possibly trivial |
Quality: current article quality as per the grading scheme
| FA |
Featured article |
| A | Article is well written, reasonably complete and referenced; possible featured article candidate. |
 GA |
This is a good article |
| B | We have a decent article, but it needs further editing |
| Start | Significant cleanup or expansion needed. |
| Stub | Article missing or miserable, or a stub. |
[edit] 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, 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.
