[edit] Title

WikiProject on Nigeria

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to help coordinate various pages related to:

[edit] Goals

Goals for the project may be divisible into two domains: a general domain encompassing aims for all Nigeria-related articles, and specific goals pertaining to particular articles or sets of articles. Both sets of goals are expounded upon in the subsequent sections and both are subject to modification and discussion.

[edit] General goals

Ensure that all Nigeria-related articles remain "cleaned up" and accurate, minimising vandalism and spam links as much as possible. These issues are the most pervasive inherent to Nigeria-related items and therefore assume top priority; the aforementioned are also to some degree subsumed in the other general goals to follow.
To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and cultures of Nigeria and Nigerian peoples.
To highlight Nigeria's relationships and/or bringings to the rest of the world.
To standardize articles on Nigeria and related subjects with similar layouts and formatting.
To include all relevant information, making especially certain to include the voices of women, the poor, the indigenous, and basically all the rest of Nigerian society (all information must be sourced).
To standardize the use of indigenous language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.

[edit] Specific goals

Specific goals may be created or abrogated on an ad hoc basis as deemed neccessary and appropriate by project participants. More goals should be discussed and added; please feel free to make suggestions on the discussion page. High priority goals may include:

Nigeria; the main page is subject to nearly constant vandalism, spam links, and the addition of false and/or biased information at all times, largely by unregistered or new users. The page thus requires constant upkeep to prevent further degradation, in addition to requiring general improvement. The Foreign relations section has been complained about frequently, as have issues regarding vandalism associated with census controversies(probably needs it's own article to begin with), Nigerian cities, and other ethno-religious based vandalism.

History of Nigeria; nearly all of the above apply equally well to this article.

[edit] Other suggested work

Looking at "What links here" for Nigeria-related articles can often turn up uncategorised Nigerian articles. Categorizing them (even as Category:Nigeria for now) will put them somewhere where they can be accessed for improvement.
Add Template:WikiProject Nigeria to the talkpages of Nigeria-related articles.
