Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia Tech/Goals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This project was established with several purposes in mind.

1. Improve the quality of all Georgia Tech-related articles, with a specific goal of GA or FA; specifically:
   1. Get Georgia Institute of Technology to Featured Article status.
   2. Get List of Georgia Institute of Technology alumni to Featured list status.
   3. Focus on specific "core topics" through the article list and the weekly collaboration.
   4. See "Assessment" for specific quality measurements and resources.
2. Improve Georgia Tech's exposure by incorporating appropriate text and references in non-project articles
   1. Given Wikipedia's use as a general resource, the more exposure that Tech gets, the more our work is appreciated.
   2. Write up specific (notable) research projects, departments, and professors, and then link to them from other parts of the encyclopedia
   3. Use these contributions to build up other parts of the project; an article on a GT Research project can be used to improve Georgia Institute of Technology#Research.
   4. An article on a dorm can be used to help create Georgia Institute of Technology#Housing or, if so desired, an entire article on the subject.
   5. Write articles for notable alumni; Add notable alumni (whether or not they have an article) to the alumni list.
3. Recruit people, especially students, faculty, and alumni, to acheive the afformentioned goals.
   1. Encourage a community of editors to act upon the guidelines set forth by the project
   2. Recruit contributions from the general Tech population, so that a handful of people aren't doing everything
   3. Once a significant goal has been accomplished, organize a Wikimeet!
