WikiProject Blogging
The purpose of this WikiProject has two main parts. First, it seeks to expand the coverage of weblogs on Wikipedia to the point where it is the most comprehensive resource in existence on this emerging aspect of online and media culture. Second, it seeks to do so sanely, and with an eye towards making sure the coverage reflects what is important about blogs, and what is not a mess of vanity articles, self-promotion, and trivia.

[edit] UserboxMembers of this WikiProject can use {{User WPB}} [edit] Assessment
We are going to start assessing articles in our scope, such as blogs and blog hosting services, and nominate non-notable ones for deletion in the process. Please use {{WikiProject Blogging}} to assess articles. Anyone, member of this project or not, may assess articles. Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Blogging/Assessment. [edit] NotabilityCurrently we suggest you adhere to Wikipedia:Websites. It's worth noting that a criterion for website inclusion is of been covered in (inter)national news. At some point we may want to more finely tune these criteria for blogs; paying particular attention to what level of news coverage, both local and national, is considered notable. [edit] Where to put the informationOne thing we want to avoid is the creation of permastubs. Since blogs are somewhat prone to having "fifteen minutes of fame," this is a particular danger, and so care is needed in deciding what topics deserve articles, and what topics are best dealt with in the context of other articles. Some guidelines. Let us take a hypothetical blogger Joe Q. Blogger whose blog is called Quirkblog
[edit] CategorisingIt is asked for members of this WikiProject to help categorise blog-related articles into the relevant categories, such as Category:Blogs and Category:Blog software. |
