On April 12, 2006, some Wikipedians formed a WikiProject currently known as the Mixed Drinks WikiProject. The goal of the Project grew from just alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks, to also include a number of bartending-related topics. On January 25, 2007, the WikiProject was expanded to WikiBooks as the Bartending WikiProject, focusing on continued development and enhancement of the Wikibooks Bartending Guide.

This task force, which may become an independent WikiProject over time, serves two purposes.

  1. It serves as the main point of coordination between the related Wikipedia and WikiBooks WikiProjects.
  2. Develop and improve articles at Wikipedia related to mixology, bartending, related occupations, notable bartenders bartending tools, drinkware, and drinking establishments.

This page and its various sub-pages contain goals, guidelines, suggestions, and observations made by Project Participants and others interested in bartending. You do not have to be a trained mixologist or a professional bartender to participate in this Project. It is hoped that this Project will help to focus the efforts of other editors as we all work to improve and expand the Wikipedia and its sister projects. For more information on WikiProjects in general, please refer to Wikipedia:WikiProjects, Wikibooks:WikiProjects, and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

If this topic interests you, we would love your help. Add your name to the list of participants, and introduce yourself on the talk page.

To help, whether you become a Participant or not, please see our To-Do List for the list of things that Project Participants have identified as needing to be done. Thank you in advance for any assistance you provide in helping make Wikipedia a better place for everyone.

[edit] Bartending WikiProject Task Force of the Mixed Drinks WikiProject

[edit] Notice board

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject strives to develop and improve articles at Wikipedia related to mixology, bartending, related occupations, notable bartenders bartending tools, drinkware, and drinking establishments. It supports the cross-wiki development and coordination of a comprehensive Bartending Guide at WikiBooks, covering both the basics and the finer points of the bartending industry, including mixology.

[edit] On-topic articles

  • Topics related to the bartending profession.
  • In-depth, encyclopedic information about specific topics (tools, drinkware, traditions, etc.).
  • Biographies of famous bartenders and notable drinkers, especially those uniquely important to the history of bartending or a related topic.
  • Places, including specific bars, that are or were uniquely important to the history of bartending or a related topic.
  • Hospitality and beverage service topics related to the field of bartending (coordinating with the Foodservice WikiProject where appropriate).
  • Things related to serving drinks (cocktails, liquors, beers, wines, non-alcoholic bar beverages, mixers, bar tools, drinkware, garnishes, supplies, etc.) (coordinating with the Mixed Drinks WikiProject where appropriate).
  • Drinking culture as it relates directly to bartending and drinking establishments.

[edit] Off-target articles

  • Recipes from a bar manual. These should be trans-wikied to Wikibooks Bartending. Depending on the length and other content within the article, an illustrative or historical drink recipe or two may be appropriate, but articles mostly comprised of recipes do not belong in the English Wikipedia.
  • Drinking games.
  • Specific beverages (which fall under the scope of the Mixed Drinks, Beer, Wine, Soft Drinks, or Coffee & Tea WikiProjects).
  • Fictional beverages of any type.
  • People or places with only a passing mention or association with mixed drinks. (e.g., New Orleans is associated with many famous bars, but would be an off-target article for this Project; though the various bars would be on-target).

[edit] WikiProject Deletion sorting

Deletion sorting is a new effort that attempts to classify various articles nominated for Votes for Deletion by major categories.

The WikiProject Mixed Drinks-related articles at VFD should be listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Mixed Drinks, but are more likely to be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Food and drink.
