This project project is aimed to highlight Cuba and Cuban society's history. 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.

Cuba Collaboration

[edit] Conventions

  • In biographies, identify the subject as either a Cuban, Cuban-American, or of Cuban ancestry, depending on how that person identifies him/herself.
  • Accentuation: In biographies, use accents if the subject him/herself used them in when spelling their name.
  • Spanish words/orgs with Spanish names: Should be italicized and followed by an English translation and approximation the first time they appear in a article.

[edit] Goals

  1. To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Cuba and Cubans.
  2. To highlight Cuba's relationships and/or bringings to the rest of the world.
  3. To standardize articles on Cuba or Cuban subjects. They should have similar layouts, formatting, etev.
  4. To include all relevant information, making especially certain to include the voices of women, the poor, the indigenous, and basically all the rest of the Cuban society (providing the info. is sourced, of course).
  5. To standardize the use of Spanish-language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Templates
