[[Image:Carrom board.jpg|right|thumb|300px|<center>Welcome to WikiProject [[Carrom]]</center>]]

==Mission==
The Carrom Wikiproject is a WikiProject dedicated to making Wikipedia's knowledge of Carrom and carrom-related information as complete as possible.  We're also here to keep Wiki's databank of Carrom information.

; Goals
<!-- What does the project plan to do? -->
* Standardize the appearance and layout of carrom-related articles.
* Improve and generally guide the development of carrom related articles. 

; Scope
<!-- What topics do you plan to cover?  If you're dealing with a broad area, it's okay to be a little vague here. -->
* Any article relating to carrom.

==Open tasks==
<!-- What *specific* things need to be done.  Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->

==Project members==
Please feel free to add your name to this list of members. There is no minimum or maximum participation level, these two divisions are for you to determine where you believe you would fit best.

It would also help the project if you would indicate any areas of particular interest. This way, if there is an article that may especially interest you, you could be notified of the required assistance.

Also, the article structure, such as creation of lots of micro-stubs instead of building a solid main article, often needs to be undone with merges and redirects. My interest in carrom ''per se'' is only to the extent that certain variants of it qualify as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cue sports|cue sports]].)

===To create===
====Improvements to main article====
* A carrom terminology section at [[carrom]]; should not be a separate article until such time as the [[carrom]] article becomes too long per [[WP:SUMMARY]].  If this occurs, and there is enough material for a terms article, it should be at [[glossary of carrom terms]].

* A more fully-developed rules section at [[carrom]], covering all of the "Laws of Carrom" basic, ''in summary'' &ndash; we absolutely must not copy the rules verbatim, as was done in a few cases at [[carrom]] already, as this is a [[WP:COPYVIO|copyright violation]], and also violates [[WP:NOT]] ("Wikipedia is not a game guide").  Some of the aspects that should be ''briefly'' covered may include:
Standard equipment (already has a section at main article), interpretation of rules, sitting position of players, striking (already has a subsection at main article), the toss (already has a subsection at main article), trial boards, the break, turn of play, scoring and score cards (the score cards part can probably be omitted, as it has little to do with general game play, only with ICF tournament play), changing of sides (already covered somewhat in the toss section at main article), carrom-men overboard, fouls, rolling and overlapping, the queen (already has a subsection at main article, but mostly about the dimensions, not the game-play), dues and penalties ''maybe'' (this isn't really relevant at all to the game as such, only to membership in ICF, so it should probably be omitted from the article), loss of match, protests, and of course the general rules.  Each of these topics should ''definitely not'' be separate articles, unless and until such time as the main article becomes too large, per [[WP:SUMMARY]], ''and'' the desired new sub-article actually has enough content to support an independent article.

* A carrom records/champions/championships section in the main article (a potential candidate for being a separate article, if there is enough material available.)

(''WARNING:'' '''unlikely to survive [[WP:AFD|Articles for Deletion]]''', on [[WP:N|notability]] grounds, unless they are World Champions or are/have been in the top-10 players in the world.  After the [[carrom]] main article is much, much better and firmly, with numerous independent, reliable sources, establishes carrom's international notability as a competitive sport, then maybe some additional player articles will be plausible.)

===To review===
* [[Carrom]] needs a ''lot'' of work.  Many of its sections are sect-stubs.
