To do |
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to gambling and the gaming industry. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

Goals
edit- To provide a central location where discussions involving multiple gambling articles can take place.
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of gambling topics in general.
- To organize and standardize the basic structure of project articles.
- To keep articles free of spam while maintaining quality sources, references and appropriate external linking in project articles.
- To generally raise the quality of notes and references in project articles.
- The majority of articles within the gambling category are poker articles, which after discussion at the WikiProject Poker are generally structured one way. A goal then is to bring the rest of the gambling articles to a similar quality and style.
Attacks/Spam
editArticles recently or generally prone to repeated vandalization or spam.
Tasks
edit- Current collaborations:
- Improve an article to FA
- Improve an article to A
- Help with the Gambling articles needing attention.
- Tag the talk pages of Gambling-related articles with the {{WikiProject Gambling}} banner.
- The link to the Missouri gambling site is now out of date and needs to be updated.
- Japan section reads as though it was written by the gambling industry - quotes of 160% returns are 'citation needed'.
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
