Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Websites. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; 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 and see the to-do list here.

• It has a Google PageRankTM of 8 or above
• It has been in the news
• You have heard at least 5 people talking about it

If you are not sure, post your proposal on the proposal subpage.

[edit] What if my website belongs to a company, and there is already an article on Wikipedia about the company?

• Create a new article, naming it company.com .
• If the company's name happens to be company.com, create a new article, naming it company.com (Website)
