Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to fire protection systems. 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 there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

[edit] Structure

Please help improve this section by expanding it.
Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion.

[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.

[edit] Current adoptions

Example article: User:Example
National Fire Protection Association: I'll be overhauling this page, initially as a copy under my user page (user:Pskgoldberg/NFPA). This is my first venture as a wikipedian, and would appreciate any suggestions or comments, especially with regards to fitting this page in with the rest of the project. -- (Pskg) 09:00 30 May 2007

[edit] Stub templates

This project has no dedicated stub template, however, the following are recommended:

{{company-stub}} for fire protection manufacturers
{{Tool-stub}} for other articles

These stub templates are not perfect fits, but perhaps in the future we will be able to get our own stub template.
