Shlama and welcome to WikiProject Assyria, a WikiProject designed to expand, cleanup and wikify, better organize, and neutralize the point of view on articles related to Assyria and the Assyrian people. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of Wikipedians who are interested or have made substantial contributions to articles related to Assyrians; 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. For further information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices. Anyone is free to edit any of the pages listed here, including this page as well. For example, if you see a new Assyrian related article, then add it to the "New Articles Notifications" in this page.

[edit] Scope

WikiProject Assyria came into being on October 29, 2006, an Assyrian Wikipedian realized that he had the opportunity to collaborate with others in a more organized and effective way on articles pertaining to Assyrian poeple. However, participation is not only limited to Assyrians; Wikipedians of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are more than welcome to participate.

[edit] Participation

Participation in WikiProject Assyria is not limited to anyone; it's open to all editors who want to make positive contributions to ancient and modern Assyrian-related topics. Please add your name to the list of participants below using {{user|username}} to join the project. If you don't have a Wikipedia account yet, you can sign up here. We have separated the project into two groups. One who will prefer to work on ancient Assyrian related articles (ex: Assyrian empire, Assyrian kings, etc) and one that would like to work on modern pages (current Assyrian villages, current politicians, etc). If you would like to work on both, then list your name under "both".
