[edit] Conventions

In biographies, identify the subject as either a Dominican, Dominican-American, or of Dominican ancestry, depending on how that person identifies him/herself.
Accentuation: In biographies, use accents if the subject him/herself used them in when spelling their name.
Spanish words/orgs with Spanish names: Should be italicized and followed by an English translation and approximation the first time they appear in a article.

[edit] Goals

To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of the Dominican Republic and Dominicans.
To highlight the Dominican Republic's relationships and/or bringings to the rest of the world.
To standardize articles on the Dominican Republic or Dominican subjects. They should have similar layouts, formatting, etev.
To include all relevant information, making especially certain to include the voices of women, the poor, the indigenous, and basically all the rest of the Dominican society (providing the info. is sourced, of course).
To standardize the use of Spanish-language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Dominican Republic:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

Cleanup: All of the Dominican Republic articles, especially the individual cities.
Expand: Municipalities, Provinces, and historical articles.

[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-existent 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.
