This is a proposal to create and improve WikiProject Badminton, a WikiProject specializing in badminton players and tournaments.
Contents |
[edit] Background
There are currently over 300 articles about this subject (see Category:Badminton biography stubs, Category:Badminton at the Olympics and Category: Badminton tournaments) and many of them are stubs.
Some articles have remained stubs for more than three months, some with just single sentences. A WikiProject will help to highlight these problems and improve the articles.
Badminton is a popular sport, with many tournaments being played. By establishing a WikiProject, many player and tournament articles will be created and improved, just like football (soccer).
[edit] Aims
The aims will be to:
- Encourage the creation of new badminton articles such as players and tournaments.
- Provide a centralized discussion point for articles about badminton players and tournaments.
- Standardize and improve the articles in Wikipedia:
- Improve information about players (biography, participated tournaments, honours, awards – information can be taken from IBF website)
- Improve information about tournaments (tournaments description, venue, teams, seeded entries, results)
- Create an interesting portal if needed.
[edit] The WikiProject
The WikiProject will be split to three:
- Wikipedia: WikiProject Badminton/Players
- Wikipedia: WikiProject Badminton/Individual competition
- Wikipedia: WikiProject Badminton/National competition
This WikiProject needs to be split because different topics have different formats for their articles.
[edit] Interwiki relations
Since badminton is an international sport, we should strive to increase relations with the international community.
