Contents |
[edit] Scope
The scope of this project is all articles that deal with the nation of Qatar. All of these articles should be included in the Category:Qatar or one of its subcategories.
[edit] Departments
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Qatar/Assessment - the assessment unit.
[edit] To do
- Add all articles by category to the article list.
- Use the recent changes function to check these articles for improvements, vandalism, or other changes.
- I suggest that the two articles relating to the Aspire Tower be merged:Aspire_Tower and Doha_Sport_City_Tower as they are the same thing. I suggest the Aspire Tower article be the primary one, and delete the other.
[edit] Resources
Here is a collection of essental resources: The Country of Qatar In addition, use the online databases on your library card! For local use, use PDFCreator. (I already did Gale Virtual Reference Library and Proquest.) --Arithmomaniac38 23:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notes
Ignored entries are presumed fine.
- Al Wakrah, Ar Rayyan, Mesaieed, are dictionary definitions that need expanding.
- Zubarah needs a city template.
- Public holidays in Qatar needs a brief description of each holiday next to its name, and perhaps its date of introduction.
- As Salam Al Amiri needs information about its origin and adoption, and the links to the actual anthem should be external, if possible.
- ASPIRE Academy for Sports Excellence needs expanding and cross-links.
- the articles in Category:Qatari football clubs are stubs.
- Music of Qatar is a stub. It could, for example, use popular artists.
- Communications in Qatar could be put into a template box and have a body text written in general language.
- Qtel should include more information about its founding, as found here.
- Economy of Qatar should include other sectors of the economy, as well as diversification efforts. the numbers should be in a template box.
- Education in Qatar should have more information on Qatari curriculum, school organization, etc.
- Education City, Qatar should explain the history and appearance of the complex.
- Al Jazeera Academy, Carnegie Mellon University (Qatar), Texas A&M University at Qatar and University of Qatar are stubs, but UQ seems fine. Only Texas A&M has a college infobox.
- Demographics of Qatar has a middle irrelevant paragraph, and the data on the bottom should be in an infobox (even if no such one exists as of yet). More CIA information should be written into the top paragraphs.
- Military of Qatar, Foreign relations of Qatar, Ahmad ibn `Ali al-Thani, List of prime ministers of Qatar and Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, are stubs. Ahmad does not have a fancy stub box, and neither of these two have pre/successor infobox.
- History of Qatar needs expanding, especially for the the modern era.
- The Scout and Guide Association of Qatar is a stub, but it seems fine.
- Jaralla Saleh Mohammed Kahla Al Marri is only about his detention case. There is no information about his life or when he was arrested.
- the Qatari Politics category should be merged with "government of Qatar".
- All of the Qatari weightlifters and Qatari athletes are stubs, except for Saif Saaeed Shaheen (some are not tagged as such.)
- Politics of Qatar needs an update and expanding towards the bottom.
- Ahmad ibn `Ali al-Thani is a stub.
- Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani is a stub, and needs more linking of the content to the emir.
- Hamad bin Khalifa is a stub and lacks NPOV.
- Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani and Abdullah bin Khalifah Al Thani are stubs, but has enough content.
- Qatari media needs creation, formatting, wikification, category tags, and perhaps a link to Freedom House. (It had existed, but was removed for copyright violation.) (Al Jazeera is not a focus of this issue.)
- Qatar ExxonMobil Open and all pages in the category "Qatar at the Olympics" are stubs.
- Qatar national football team, Qatar Football Association, and all of the Qatar football clubs [Save for Al-Sadd] are stubs. There needs to be a general article about sports and football in Qatar.
- Transport in Qatar could use some more information than the standard The World Factbook stuff.
- Al Udeid Air Base is a stub.
