About this WikiProject
editWikiProject Pre-Columbian is intended to provide a common forum for Wikipedia editors interested in improving and maintaining articles related to Pre-Columbian.
Activities for discussion on this forum include: identifying in-scope articles and topics, discussing ways to improve article standards and topical coverage, coordinating and prioritising improvement efforts, developing standards and guidelines designed to achieve consistency between related articles, organising the articles by meaningful categories and links, and sundry other activities to be further refined as we go along.
NB: This WikiProject is still very much under construction, and its design and scope is a work in progress. Anyone interested in commenting on or contributing to its design would be welcome to do so on the Project's talk page.
For more information on WikiProjects generally, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Adopt an article
editSimilar 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.
- Example article: User:Example
General strategy and discussion forums
editIn the initial setup phases for this project, the main forum for now will be the Project's talk page. As the project develops, discussion may be moved to other areas.
- /Terminology: Discussion forum for terminology and translation issues.
- /Strategy: Strategy and structure. For policy discussions on how to title articles, how to categorise, etc.
- /Community: Noticeboard for editors interested in articles about Pre-Columbian. Basically, a community forum: use it to list articles you'd like other participants to take a look at or get a second opinion on, call attention to content disputes, post alerts, or advertise your willingness to meet up in (e.g.) New York City next month.
