[edit] Scope

The areas covered by this project are listed below. Each link leads to a proposed conventions, guidelines, and example articles subpage. If a subpage does not exist, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organized.

[edit] Lists and categories

• General - Category:Tasmania

• Places
  • Schools - List of schools in Tasmania (Category:Schools in Tasmania)

• Category:Mayors and Lord Mayors of Hobart
• Category:Mining towns in Tasmania

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existant article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] Current adoptions

• Cascade Brewery - Chuq
• The Friends' School, Hobart - User:Tasmarshall
• Hobart International Airport - Wiki Ian
• New Town High School - Ikelim (Might as well, as I attend school there.)
