==Solicitations of comments on RfC's==
*'''Please see the [[:Category:Geography articles by quality]] to asses the quality of geography articles and add the appropriate class.'''
A Request for Comment ([[WP:RfC]]) was posted Sunday, 17 July 2011 at the Talk page of [[South Sudan]]. It concerns the use of the definite article ("the") citations in the InfoBox and elsewhere of what the long form is of the country's name. It is my hope to have responses from academically aware editors devoted to Africa, geography, coutries, and British English. [[User:Hurmata|Hurmata]] ([[User talk:Hurmata|talk]]) 23:32, 17 July 2011 (UTC)


A Request for Comment was posted Thursday, 19 July 2012 at [[Wikipedia talk:Notability (geographical features)|the Talk page of Wikipedia:Notability (geographical features)]]. It requests suggestions on how to include consensus on which [[geographical feature|geographical features]] are [[WP:NOT|non-notable]] in a draft [[Wikipedia:policy|policy]] proposal. [[User:G. C. Hood|G. C. Hood]] ([[User talk:G. C. Hood|talk]]) 16:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
==Scope and Goals==

Plus, I have also seen the programme ''[[The Weakest Link]]'' several times and although some of the geography-related question are simple, there were also some tough ones and this has also helped to improve my Geography skills (Wikipedia has also helped of course).

# What's missing?
<!--This section is for organizing group projects-->
# Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
# Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?


The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.
==Pages needing Attention==
====Developing and maintaining the [[List of basic geography topics]] ====
The '''[[list of basic geography topics]]''' is a general overview of geography. It is part of [[Lists of basic topics]] (the members of which share a common format), and is thus part of [[Wikipedia:Contents|Wikipedia's table of contents system]]. It is incomplete and needs to be finished. The list also needs dedicated editors to watchlist it, to counter vandalism and to monitor its development. Finally, it needs to be maintained, to reflect changes on the presentation of the subject on Wikipedia (adding links to new relevant topics, updating links, etc.). Most importantly, since it outlines geography and is a key navigation aid for browsing geography topics on Wikipedia, the WikiProject Geography is the perfect caretaker for this page. Please adopt it, improve it, and treat it with tender loving care. Thank you. Sincerely, '''''[[User:The Transhumanist|<font color="#880088">Th<font color="#0000FF">e Tr<font color="#449900">ans<font color="#DD9922">hu<font color="#DD4400">man<font color="#BB0000">ist</font> &nbsp;&nbsp;]]'''''


The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.
====Requests for comments on pages====
This section is for short notifications of pages with problems, or where some attention is needed. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page.
*[[Orography of Cúcuta]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Orography of Cúcuta]].
*[[Cordillera Oriental, Bolivia]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
*[[Cordillera Oriental, Colombia]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
*[[Cordillera Oriental, Peru]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
*[[Liancourt_Rocks]] Dispute on whether to include Japan's administration data over Liancourt Rocks when it's purely paperwork + whether the latest edits were done per consensus, at [[Talk:Liancourt_Rocks]].
*[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of West Eurasia]] could use the analysis of some from the Geography community.


It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise geography-related material. It is a hub from which to organize geographical topics.
====Request for review of article ====
This section is for notifications of pages which wish to be graded as a Good Article or would like support to be a Featured Article. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page. Additionally, leave a copy of the longer description under the article name on the [[/General]] page.
*
<!--For anything smaller or more specific than projects and anything that individuals can work on. Usually this is a list of individual articles. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne#Open tasks]] for one example of how this section can be used.-->


It was built as a "[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/689/1/ reverse outline]", a [[tree structure|structural model]] of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.
====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-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.
* [[Example|Example article]]: [[User:Example]]
<!--Check [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne#Adopt an article]] to see how this section is used.-->
====Articles needing Attention====
*[[Geography]]
*[[History of geography]]
*[[Philosophy of Geography]]
*[[Geographical Information Systems]]
*[[Geostatistics]]
*[[Urban geography]]
*[[Human geography]]
*[[Physical geography]]
*[[Environmental geography]]
*[[Urbanism]]


Please help improve it.

===Review and assessment===
====Traveling virtually around the World on Wikipedia via country outlines====

Develop the geographical outlines at [[Portal:Contents/Outlines#Geography and places]].

These should be considered '''''top priority''''' for development and maintenance, because they are the general reference resource about Wikipedia's coverage of each geographical region.

====Developing and maintaining the "list of basic geography topics"====
The '''[[list of basic geography topics]]''' is a general overview of geography. It is part of [[Lists of basic topics]] (the members of which share a common format), and is thus part of [[Wikipedia:Contents|Wikipedia's table of contents system]]. It is incomplete and needs to be finished. The list also needs dedicated editors to watchlist it, to counter vandalism and to monitor its development. Finally, it needs to be maintained, to reflect changes on the presentation of the subject on Wikipedia (adding links to new relevant topics, updating links, etc.). Most importantly, since it outlines geography and is a key navigation aid for browsing geography topics on Wikipedia, the WikiProject Geography is the perfect caretaker for this page. Please adopt it, improve it and treat it with tender loving care.

====Articles needing attention====
{{WikiProject cleanup listing}} <!-- Bot updates the list on Tuesdays -->
* [[Geography]]
* [[Environmental geography]]
* [[Geographical Information Systems]]
* [[Geography of Italy]]
* [[Geostatistics]]
* [[History of geography]]
* [[Human geography]]
* [[Philosophy of Geography]]
* [[Physical geography]]
* [[Technical Geography]]
* [[Urban geography]]
* [[Urbanism]]
* [[Geographical feature]]
* [[Exploration]] (1) Rating could be updated: "List"-->"Start" (2) Name could be updated: "Exploration"-->"Human Exploration"
* [[Geography of French Guiana]]
* [[Longitude]] Rating could clearly be updated. [[User:Anthere|Anthere]] ([[User talk:Anthere|talk]]) 22:52, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

====Requests for comments on pages====
This section is for short notifications of pages with problems, or where some attention is needed. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page.
*[[List of countries and dependencies by population]] A difference of opinion on which countries/territories should be ranked (all, or UN member only). Would appreciate comments and thoughts - see "Ranking" on talk page.
* [[Prypiat]] Requested move to Pripyat. Comments would be very welcome at [[Talk:Prypiat#RFM to Pripyat (with better justification & references)]]
* [[Cordillera Oriental, Bolivia]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
* [[Cordillera Oriental, Colombia]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
* [[Cordillera Oriental, Peru]] Concern about organizing geography on a purely political geography basis. See [[Talk:Cordillera Oriental]]
* [[Liancourt_Rocks]] Concern over whether the proposed infobox is neutral. See [[Talk:Liancourt Rocks#Request for comments: Inclusion of the above infobox|Talk:Liancourt_Rocks]].
* [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of West Eurasia]] could use the analysis of some from the Geography community.
* [[Sněžka-Śnieżka]]. Concern about the awkwardness of a combined Czech-Polish name and the most appropriate route to a single English name, per [[WP:NCGN]]. Opinions of primarily geographic editors solicited at [[Talk:Sněžka-Śnieżka#Requested move]].
* [[Geography of Somerset]]. Debate about what should be in the new Geography of Somerset article & what should be in [[Geology of Somerset]] which is currently GA. see [[Talk:Geology of Somerset#Geography]] & [[Talk:Geography of Somerset]].
* [[Sciberras Peninsula]]. Have completed a translation from French to English - however, I am a linguist and not a geographer so would welcome expert eyes to expand this. [[User:Beckettnoti|Beckettnoti]] ([[User talk:Beckettnoti|talk]]) 17:44, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
* [[Nova Scotia]]. Concern about [[Eurocentrism]] and the lack of proper inclusion of the local [[Wabanaki Confederacy|Wabanaki nation]]'s histories and contemporary realities (especially as a party to [[Peace and Friendship Treaties|foundational treaties]]). See [[Talk:Nova Scotia#Introduction & History sections]]

====Requests for review of articles====
This section is for notifications of pages which wish to be graded as a Good Article or would like support to be a Featured Article. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page. Additionally, leave a copy of the longer description under the article name on the [[/General]] page.
* [[North Sea]] is undergoing GA review, any assistance in this endeavour appreciated.[[User:SriMesh|SriMesh]] | [[User talk:SriMesh|<small>talk</small>]] 00:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
* I've been working on [[Fantasy cartography]] lately and would love some assistance and feedback! --[[User:Twomatters|Twomatters]] ([[User talk:Twomatters|talk]]) 06:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
<!--For anything smaller or more specific than projects and anything that individuals can work on. Usually this is a list of individual articles. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne#Open tasks]] for one example of how this section can be used.-->

====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-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.

Welcome to the Wikiproject Geography, a project to better organize information in articles related to Geography. This page and all subpages of this page contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please make suggestions and proposals on the talk page, and see the to-do list below:

[edit]

A Request for Comment (WP:RfC) was posted Sunday, 17 July 2011 at the Talk page of South Sudan. It concerns the use of the definite article ("the") citations in the InfoBox and elsewhere of what the long form is of the country's name. It is my hope to have responses from academically aware editors devoted to Africa, geography, coutries, and British English. Hurmata (talk) 23:32, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Request for Comment was posted Thursday, 19 July 2012 at the Talk page of Wikipedia:Notability (geographical features). It requests suggestions on how to include consensus on which geographical features are non-notable in a draft policy proposal. G. C. Hood (talk) 16:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


A yet another FRC was posted in May 2014 in Wikipedia talk:Notability (geographic features) about promoting this essay to the guideline status. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:08, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scope

[edit]

Improves geographical related articles (including those related to geographic information systems) and develop/maintain the navigation aides dedicated to geography: List of basic geography topics, List of geography topics, Glossary of geography terms, Geography-related portals and Geography-related categories.

Goals

[edit]
  1. Develop and implement a common structure to geography and its sub-fields
  2. Clarify and improve topic structure
  3. Ensure accessibility to the lay reader - with a simplified version and/or appropriate main article/daughter article structuring of scientific detail
  4. Add more scientific detail (and sources) in appropriate articles
  5. Develop some neglected aspects of the topic
  6. Ensure NPOV
  7. Get all geography articles up to A Class standard

The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the Outline of geography and its branch outlines. These are in turn is part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems.

Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.

While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):

  1. What's missing?
  2. Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
  3. Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?

The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.

The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.

It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise geography-related material. It is a hub from which to organize geographical topics.

It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.

Please help improve it.

It's our bird's eye view.

Thank you.

Article structure

[edit]

A general template/model of how geography articles should be structured, and particularly what sections and in what order, doesn't seem to exist yet. The most common models are however summarised in some related WikiProjects; some examples follow and can be used as inspiration until a guideline is developed.

Please feel free to list your new Geography-related articles here. Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia:Main Page.

Review and assessment

[edit]

Traveling virtually around the World on Wikipedia via country outlines

[edit]

Develop the geographical outlines at Portal:Contents/Outlines#Geography and places.

These should be considered top priority for development and maintenance, because they are the general reference resource about Wikipedia's coverage of each geographical region.

Developing and maintaining the "list of basic geography topics"

[edit]

The list of basic geography topics is a general overview of geography. It is part of Lists of basic topics (the members of which share a common format), and is thus part of Wikipedia's table of contents system. It is incomplete and needs to be finished. The list also needs dedicated editors to watchlist it, to counter vandalism and to monitor its development. Finally, it needs to be maintained, to reflect changes on the presentation of the subject on Wikipedia (adding links to new relevant topics, updating links, etc.). Most importantly, since it outlines geography and is a key navigation aid for browsing geography topics on Wikipedia, the WikiProject Geography is the perfect caretaker for this page. Please adopt it, improve it and treat it with tender loving care.

Articles needing attention

[edit]

Requests for comments on pages

[edit]

This section is for short notifications of pages with problems, or where some attention is needed. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page.

Requests for review of articles

[edit]

This section is for notifications of pages which wish to be graded as a Good Article or would like support to be a Featured Article. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page. Additionally, leave a copy of the longer description under the article name on the /General page.

Adopt an article

[edit]

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.
