Goals

edit
  • To create well-written and properly organised encyclopedic coverage for all relevant television series, one off specials, participants, presenters and other notable areas within the Big Brother (UK) series
  • To create a consistent style for Big Brother (UK) articles and related topics
  • To streamline navigation between Big Brother (UK) articles
  • To be a community of editors who like to focus on the improvement of articles relating to Big Brother (UK)
  • To indicate articles in need of improvement using our "to do" list

Scope

edit
  • This task force aims primarily to improve and organize articles relating to the Big Brother (UK) series. It attempts to organise and coordinate the efforts of editors and create standards for constructing good articles.
  • Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Accordingly, we do not need articles that can be considered fancruft, or of an inappropriate level of detail. Our criteria for inclusion, as it is on the rest of Wikipedia, is notability in the real world, not in the subject itself.
