Structure

TV and Radio Episodes

All episodes must have an infobox in the style of template below. Also, they must have a brief synopsis without spoilers and a fully detailed plot with spoilers and ending details. The page must also include a list of the main cast, e.g. Mainwaring, Mrs Pike, the Vicar etc, but not extras, for example the back rows of the platoon. Finally, you may add any notes that you believe are important about the episode in question. For example: This episode is lost or this episode was meant to be broadcast on the... or perhaps even trivia, such as the specific filming locations. Please use The Man and the Hour (first episode of Dad's army) page as a guide.

Goals

  1. To create detailed pages on all Dad's Army TV and radio episodes.

To Do List

To Do

  1. Create a page for each and every Dad's Army TV episode.
  2. Create a page for each and every Dad's army Radio episode.
  3. Spliting the Dad's Army page up, for example put the characters, film and stage show on a seperate page.
  4. Complete the big push see the talk page.
  5. Place {{dadsarmy}} on every related article, and {{Dadsarmyproject}} on every related Dad's Army talk page.
  6. Improve the It Sticks Out Half a Mile page.

Done

  1. To convince the Wikipedia Admins to approve the {{DadsArmy-tv-stub}}.
  2. Main Dad's Army page is now listed as a good article.
  3. Advertise the project to encourage at least 10 more people to join.

Adopt an article

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.
