[edit] Guidelines

Guidelines specific to the project can be discussed, but notes to keep in mind:

Source everything.

Write from a NPOV. It can be easy to write praisingly about your favorite player, but write objectively about his/her accomplishments instead.

Do your best to make notability apparent within the article. For example, if the person has won an international tournament, their article definitely should mention it.

Search! We have the marked advantage of covering a topic which finds most of its publicity on the web. You could find interesting, useful facts you've never realized before.

[edit] Open tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Pro Gaming:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

Requests: Create an article for mousesports, a top ranked Counter-Strike team from Germany.
Merge: Category:Electronic sports and Category:Competitive computer and video gaming
Cleanup: The article for Counter-Strike legend Tommy Ingemarsson really needs some cleanup.
Update: The KODE5 article is very outdated and needs a lot of expansion.
NPOV: The pages for the MLG teams have continued to worsen, and need a good neutrality copyedit.
Other: Tag the talk page of any article related to the project. I've started, but I don't know them all. Invite people to the project that you know would be interested.
