WikiProject_Lighthouses Project: Lighthouse article creation Goal: To create new articles for all important Lighthouses worldwide Scope: There are currently lists of all major lighthouses under List_of_lighthouses, but most are red links. Filling out articles from this list will be the initial goal; capturing lighthouses not yet on the list will be the next. We should also encourage people to provide original or Public_domain pictures of the lighthouses, whenever possible. NOT: There is a lot of existing material online about lighthouses; we need to take care not to plagiarize Thanks, --Draugen 22:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC) : The United States National Park Service Light House web page has a lot of information on light houses including pictures. As it is a US goverrnment web site, the information and pictures should be in the public domain. The USCG lights list is similarly in the Public Domain and can be used as source material to verify light type, location etc. for lighthouses in the United States. Skapur 11:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC) ALSO: Feel free to contribute to this project page -- right now, I consider this to be a stub! {{to do}} Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to '''Lighthouses'''. This page and its subpages 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 inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best_practices. ==Title== '''WikiProject on Lighthouses''' ==Scope== ==Parentage== No parent of this WikiProject has been defined. ==Descendant WikiProjects== No descendant WikiProjects have been defined. ==Similar WikiProjects== No similar WikiProjects have been named. ==Related WikiProjects== No related WikiProjects have been named. ==Related Wikiportals== No related Wikiportals have been named. ==Related Collaborations== No related Collaborations have been named. ==Related Regional notice boards== No related Regional notice boards have been named. ==Related groups of Wikipedians== No related Wikipedians have been named. ==Related pages in Sister projects== *Commons:Lighthouses *Wikibooks:Lighthouses *Wikinews:Lighthouses *Wikiquote:Lighthouses *Wikisource:Lighthouses *Wikispecies:Lighthouses *Wiktionary:Lighthouses *Meta:Lighthouses ===Sister Project Searches=== *WikiBooks search *Google WikiBooks search *WikiQuote search *Google WikiQuote search *WikiSource search *Google WikiSource search ==Participants== * Draugen * Gateman1997 * George Potter * AlbertHerring * Smably ==Structure== ==Tasks== # ? ==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. * Example article: User:Example * ==General strategy and discussion forums== */General */Strategy ==Other subpages== ==Templates== ===Infoboxes=== * {{substemplate|template}} * e.g.{{Infobox Lighthouses}} {{tl|Infobox Lighthouses }}
