You may also inquire on the talk page, or visit the Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard for collaboration on Australian articles in general.

We need your help! If you are a Tasmanian, or know something about the state, you can:

    Scope

    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.

    Guidelines

    To keep to the guidelines as designated in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide

    Lists and categories

    Underpopulated categories requiring populating

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

    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-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.

    The Tasmanian Barnstar of Merit

    To encourage a reinvigoration of effort towards Tasmanian related articles I have decided to create a Tasmanian Barnstar. I am not so flashy on the graphic design department, so if anybody has the nouse to make it a bit flasher, please do. If anybody has already made good contributions to Tasmanian related content, please give them a Tasmanian barnstar!
