Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Davis Cup-Fed Cup Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Davis Cup/Fed Cup Project is a sub-project of WikiProject Tennis focusing on the creation, improvement, and maintenance of articles, templates, and categories related to Davis Cup and Fed Cup.
[edit] Goals
Our goals are to raise the main Davis Cup article to at least Good Article status, and to have an article for each individual year and team. 2006 Davis Cup is the current gold standard for years; Australia and Norway for teams.
[edit] To do list
- Create:
- Teams

- Add history (with references, of course) to main Davis Cup and Fed Cup articles, as well as the individual years, particularly about:
- South Africa's participation and the protests thereof,
- Davis Cup's role in the internationalization of tennis, and
- anything else that's notable.

- Cleanup:
2001 Fed Cup-2005 Fed Cup: change to same format as Davis Cup pages OR discuss why not- Wikify Fed Cup

[edit] Resources
Both DavisCup.com and FedCup.com have details of every tie ever played (!), World Group draws back to 1981, and Zonal draws at least a few years back, and plenty of records and other information about teams. There's also a book, The Davis Cup, Celebrating 100 Years by Richard Evans, if anyone has access to it.
Most of the templates in Category:WikiProject Tennis Templates relate to Davis and Fed Cup.
We now have stub categories! Category:Davis Cup stubs and Category:Fed Cup stubs
