Wikipedia talk:WikiProject International development/to do
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "to do" list is for uncontroversial tasks. Anything uncertain or controversial should be discussed on the talk page first.
- Articles:
- Work on the stubs. (Pick one that interests you and go for it).
- Improve the key articles - here's some to start:
- Find and upload public-domain pictures to illustrate articles. Sources include:
- Pictures you've taken yourself.
- yotophoto.com - lets you search for free images (check the licence to be sure it's compatible with Wikipedia. Ask for help if you're unsure.)
- US federal government (?)
- Find images (e.g. on an organization's website) and get an explicit statement from the owner that they release the image to public domain, GNU or other suitable licence.
- Categories, linking and organization of articles:
- A portal?
- Tasks related to the WikiProject itself:
- Get this page sorted. See Wikipedia:WikiProject & Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices
- Write up the scope on this page (near top); use it to explain this WikiProject at Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects
- Promote the project - don't be pushy, just let people know. Some things to consider:
- People who work (paid or volunteer) in the development field;
- People who are into permaculture or sustainability are often into appropriate technology and concerned about international development, so tell them about this project.
- Politically active people. Many people across the political landscape are concerned about these issues. And they often have email lists or newsletters that you can post a brief notice on.
- Inside Wikipedia: Paste {{WikiProject International development}} on relevant talk pages. If a topic is only marginally related, then just put a note, telling people about it. (Use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject International development]] to link to the project page.
