[edit] Scope

This project is intended to improve articles on resional English dialects, help bring about consensus in regards to the use of regional variants of the English language in wikipedia articles, and to prevent mass-changes that are contrary to consensus made by individual users or cabals.

  • SB Johnny 11:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC) - I'm usually neutral on the issue, but find it fascinating.
  • Cultural Freedom 2006-07-23 16:59 (UTC) - I'm particularly interested in helping to develop wise guidelines and policies for handling dialect differences within the English language Wikipedia.
  • JackLumber. 13:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC) Technical advisor.
  • -- Boothman /tɔːk/ 19:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC) - I feel I could lend my knowledge of non-standard British dialects of English to the project.

[edit] Goals

  1. To organize (or organise) this project.

[edit] Projects

  1. To index articles specific to the subject matter, in part for use as a reference for further activity.
  2. To contact other wikipedians that are active in one way or another (such as writing articles on the subject, arguing over regional terms on talk pages, or even engaged in mass reversions).

[edit] Tasks

  1.  ?

[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.
