Military history of the Ottoman Empire Portal

Hoş Geldiniz! Welcome to all! This is a group which aims to improve articles related to Turkey. This page and its subpages contain suggestions and tools to help in this process. Please join in our efforts to improve the coverage and quality of articles related to Turkey. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

• The main aim of WikiProject Turkey is to expand and organize Turkey-related articles. This includes all the articles concerning:
• History of Turks, a people whose history as a distinct entity extends 2000 years. History of the Republic of Turkey, history of the Ottoman Empire, history of Turks as it extends to Central Asia, is the "History of Turks",
• History of Anatolia, a land whose name has been used interchangeably with Turkey,
• Republic of Turkey and its predecessor state, Ottoman Empire,
• Modern Turkish people, including its diaspora, and their culture in its broadest sense.

Goals

• Improve the quality and quantity of Turkey-related articles;

• By starting articles that need to be created to assure that every aspect of Turkey and its history, Turkish people and Turkish culture is present in Wikipedia,
• By improving the existing articles (first to Good article then to Featured article status) so that they are more encyclopedic and of higher quality.

• Improve the quality and quantity of Turkey's history-related articles, including those pertaining to the Ottoman Empire/Anatolian beyliks,
• Make sure that Turkey-related topics are brought to the attention of the project by adding the {{WPTR}} template to the talk pages of concerned articles.

How to get started

• If you are new to Wikipedia, please check out Wikipedia:What is a good article? and Wikipedia:Featured article criteria to see how quality in articles is defined. Turkey, which is a featured article is also a good reference for article structure and flow as well as citation formats. Feel free to ask other members of the project if you have any questions.
• Add your name to the participants list and put {{Wikiproject Turkey}} on your userpage to identify yourself as a member of the project.
• Edit, start or improve articles within the project scope, paying attention to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Attribution and using citations.
• Watch recent edits to articles that have gained status within Wikipedia, making sure that they do not fall in quality.
• Help with project tasks listed in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Turkey/Tasks list.
• Ask on the talk page about what needs to be done.

Happy editing!

Things to watch

• Recent edits to articles with Wikipedia status - check for quality editing that may change rating, help stop vandalism and preserve neutral point-of-view
• Recent edits to articles within the project scope - check for quality editing that may change rating, help stop vandalism and preserve neutral point-of-view
• Articles up for deletion to see whether these articles can be improved, saved or should be deleted
• New articles to tag any that fall within the project scope with {{WPTR}}
• FAC, FAR and FARC to make sure Featured Articles stay featured

Open tasks

• Place the {{WPTR}} on the talk pages of all articles that fall within the scope of this project,
• Add the articles, by category, to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Turkey/Main Articles list,
• Monitor the recent changes for improvements which might raise the assessment level, damages to the articles, and vandalism,
• Update and hierarchize the categories in Categories page,
• Maintain and update the Tasks page,
• Move, if come across, articles whose titles should incorporate Turkish diacritics, but who currently do not do so, to their correct spelling,
• Clear the evaluation and assessment backlog of articles who have been tagged with the project banner.
