Latest revision as of 05:33, 24 November 2024

This WikiProject is a community of Wikipedians who share an interest in extreme sports and who wish to improve the general quality and accessibility of Wikipedia's extreme sports articles. It is an effort to coordinate the work of Wikipedians who are knowledgeable about extreme sports, to minimize the frequent damage done to extreme sports articles, and to improve the quality and range of articles on extreme sports.

The world of Extreme Sports is characterized by enormous amounts of individualism, talent, and courage. However, it is sometimes besieged by the media as something that only "rowdy teenagers" do. Here on Wikipedia, we want to set the example for the rest of the media world by writing and maintaining only the highest quality articles. It is likely that our participants will be younger than participants in other Wikiprojects, and may be more technologically savvy. We commit to using the unique talents of all our contributors to produce Gold Standard articles.

Scope and Goals

[edit]

The scope of the project includes all extreme sports-related articles in this category.

The goals of this WikiProject are:

  1. To create Extreme Sports articles that do not exist.
  2. To improve Extreme Sports articles that already exist.
  3. To protect Extreme Sports articles from vandalism.
  4. To organize Extreme Sports articles into reasonable categories for browsing.

How you can help

[edit]

  • Join this project by adding your name to the list.
  • Add this page and the Tasks to your watchlist.
  • Find new members. Invite people to join us by adding {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Extreme sports/invite}} to their talk page.

To identify and improve extreme sports pages:

  • Locate pages that need attention, then add them to the Tasks list.
  • Add the Open Tasks box to your User: or User_talk: page. (Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Extreme sports/tasks box}} anywhere on the page.)
  • Have a go at editing a page from the open tasks; check them off the list if you like the result.

Standards and practices

[edit]

General practices

[edit]

Extreme Sports articles should have the {{WikiProject Extreme sports}} template placed at the top of their talk page.

Extreme Sports articles should be categorised as such. (Add [[Category:Extreme sports]] to the bottom of the page)

Discuss adding more general practices.

Readability

[edit]

Must be clearly legible by members of the public, this means that we can't really use our own lingo like 'fakie zerospin souls', because they won't have a clue what we're on about.

Open Tasks

[edit]

Just add any tasks you think worth doing to the Extreme Sports Task List.

Add BASE Skiing

Custom Templates

[edit]

Task Box

[edit]

This list will be regularly updated by volunteers with pages that need attention.

WikiProject iconExtreme sports (inactive)
WikiProject iconThis article is within the scope of WikiProject Extreme sports, a project which is currently considered to be inactive.Extreme sportsWikipedia:WikiProject Extreme sportsTemplate:WikiProject Extreme sportsExtreme sports


This message should be placed on talk pages of relevant articles.

Stubs

[edit]

We need a stub tag to be made...

Invitation to join this project
