The Iraq WikiProject is a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Iraq.

Our goals
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Iraq by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of Iraq.
  • To help new Iraqi editors learn the ropes of Wikipedia.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Iraq in Wikipedia.
Our scope
The Iraq Wikiproject generally considers any article related to Iraq and ancient Iraq as a valid topic.

Departments

Structure & navigation

The purposes and objectives of this department are to:

  • Refine and maintain the List of basic Iraq topics, a key guide on Wikipedia to Iraq as a subject. It serves as a table of contents, summary, and topic outline of coverage on the country Iraq and is the most useful tool on Wikipedia for exploring and understanding fundamental material about Iraq (and how it fits together) on Wikipedia. Its purpose is an important one: it simply enables readers to see at a glance how the subject of Iraq is broken down, what the component topics are, and how they relate to each other - that is, how information on Iraq is organized (here, and in the world-at-large). It is a site map and outline of knowledge that demystifies the subject known as "Iraq". Because of its central role in the presentation of Wikipedia's coverage of this subject, it is very important to develop and maintain it to the highest level of quality: to help readers improve their conceptual awareness and understanding of Iraq as well as find their way around this subject on Wikipedia. For examples of other pages in this set, see List of basic France topics, List of basic Thailand topics, List of basic Japan topics, List of basic Taiwan topics, and List of basic Iceland topics, all of which are currently completed to a higher level of quality than this page. In other words, it's getting its ass kicked: the List of basic Iraq topics is incomplete, needs your editing contributions, and is especially in need of maps and pictures!
  • Refine and maintain Category:Iraq and its subcategories.

Assessment

The assessment department will focus on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Iraq related articles. This will aid us in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Collaboration

The Iraq Collaboration of the Fortnight seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every fortnight, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it.

Any articles dealing with some aspect of Iraq are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles and help improve it.

Outreach

The outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants. We aim to invite new Wikipedia contributors who recently edited an Iraq related article to join the project.

Photography

The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in Iraq articles. These may be self-taken or obtained with permission from online sources.
