==Scope==


{{Wikipedia policies and guidelines}}
The areas covered by this project are listed below. Each link leads to a proposed conventions, guidelines, and example articles subpage. If a subpage does not exist, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organized.
{{WikiProject Footer}}


===Guidelines===
To keep to the guidelines as designated in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide]]


[[Category:WikiProject Tasmania| ]]
===Lists and categories===

*General - [[:Category:Tasmania]]

*Places
**Schools - [[List of schools in Tasmania]] ''([[:Category:Schools in Tasmania]])''
**Suburbs - [[List of Hobart suburbs]] ''([[:Category:Suburbs of Hobart]])''

*People
**General - [[List of Prominent Tasmanians]] ''([[:Category:People from Tasmania]])''
**Hobart Mayors - [[List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Hobart]]

*Fauna
**Birds - [[List of birds of Tasmania]]
**Mammals - [[List of mammals of Tasmania]]
**Butterflies - [[List of butterflies of Tasmania]]

===Underpopulated categories requiring populating===

The following categories are in the ''Underpopulated Australia categories'' - anyone with any good extra info, or names to work on?

*[[:Category:History of Hobart]]
*[[:Category:Mayors and Lord Mayors of Hobart]]
*[[:Category:Mining towns in Tasmania]]
*[[:Category:Wineries in Tasmania]]

===Adopt an article===

Similar to the [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|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-existant 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.

===Current adoptions===

*[[Cascade Brewery]] - [[User:Chuq|Chuq]]
*[[The Friends' School, Hobart]] - [[User:Tasmarshall]]
*[[Hobart International Airport]] - [[User:Wiki ian|Wiki Ian]]
*[[New Town High School (Tasmania)|New Town High School]] - [[User:Ikelim|Ikelim]] (Might as well, as I attend school there.)

===Current impending deletions===

*[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Albuera Street Primary School]] - Tasmanian school articles due for the deletion process....
