[edit] Open tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Go: edit  · history  · watch  · refresh


Here are some tasks you can do:
    • History of go
    • Add the {{WikiProject Go}} tag to the head of the Discussion (Talk) pages of relevant articles.
    • Some sort of historical list of milestones in Go Software would be useful.
    • Rewrite of Computer Go
    • Change the infobox of players who haven't been transferred yet to the Template:Infobox Go player. Also, same goes for go tournaments with Template:Go tournament.
    • Roll your sleeves up and start on the Go stubs category

      , but haven't played competitively for a few years (was about 2300 EGF when rated)
    2. CanbekEsen (talk • contribs) I'm a 4 kyu player who is actively playing.
    3. Robert McGuigan (talk • contribs)
    4. ZincBelief (talk • contribs) rather inactive member, but enjoys reading other's articles
    5. Steve Kroon (talk • contribs) I'm interested in the professional system, ranking systems, and tournaments
    6. Dalf (talk • contribs) I am not that skilled a Go player so I am more interested in the diagrams and such. Though I have been hoping someone would set up this project for a while since the articles have a lot of overlap and no consistent structure.
    7. Hu (talk • contribs) Active Wikipedian (in phases), desultorily active on Sensei's Library. Bold enough to touch almost anything, but as a weak single digit kyu player, I'm not skilled at the game, and would be careful about touching anything that deals with tactics and strategy.
    8. Jisifu (talk • contribs) I am a 2-dan on KGS. Go makes life more fascinating.
    9. Yankee Rajput (talk • contribs) I'd like to learn more, i'm terrible.
    10. Larry R. Holmgren (talk • contribs) 20:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC) I'm interested in compiling strategy and concepts. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Go/to_do
    11. Pstaight (talk • contribs) I'm a 9 kyu player interested in promoting Go in the US. Specifically, I’m trying to run minor tournaments at Anime Expo.
    12. Selket (talk • contribs) I probably won't be contributing all that much, but keep me informed of goings on, particularly with the recent article creation difficulties. (somewhere in the 22-27k range, depending on who you ask)
    13. VanTucky (talk • contribs) Mostly interested in expanding the equipment, history and strategy pages. Player at the AGA Portland, Or club. 10kyu
    14. Devildope (talk • contribs) I am a 12kyu from Antioch, Illinois and would like to promote Go in Northern Illinois and would like to comment on the different books that i have read.

    [edit] Sensei's Library content

    There is a discussion page at [1] on the Sensei's Library go wiki, designed to create interest in this project, and to provide a forum in which to discuss adaptation of material currently there on SL for WP.

    [edit] Collaboration and review

    Collaboration of the week
    Peer review
    • time control I rewrote this quite considerably, not pure Go, but done in the name of making the Go homepage more succint
    Assessment

    [edit] Templates

    • Template:Go tournament - an infobox for Go tournaments.
    • Template:Round16 - a template for 16 player knockout tournaments.
    • Template:succession box - used for things like the Honinbo, where you can click on the next and previous holder of a title (or winner of a tournament)
    • Template:Game of Go Position - a template for Go positions. There are more, but should probably not be used at the moment. See the discussion page, as it seems the plan is to use inline images for board positions.
