List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles: Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.

Wikipedia:Wikiproject Politics (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Continents (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?: They is nearly an "Corruption in XYZ" article for all 200 countries in the World, and Countries that do not have an associated "Corruption in XYZ" article would likely hav one soon. These need to be updated or created. The above Wikiprojects either

Generally include an item of corruption in the pages about Biographies of people
Or in the pages of the general topic of Politics
Or they bring together pages based on some geography.

Corruption isn't a major topic they focus on aside from being mentioned as an aside. That is why I feel there is the need to have a Wikiproject that will focus on editing about corruption on Wikipedia by

Expanding pages on the subject of corruption
Creating pages related to corruption incidences
And improving corruption related incidences mentioned in existing pages.

Yes, I have extensive access to people fighting corruption in Sri Lanka and access to some in China. I personally run a government transparency related website in Sri Lanka. I won't name it for obvious reasons. I'll help ——NirvanaToday ^t@lk 12:00, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nirvanatoday: Might you be interested to organise a Wikipedia corruption editathon in your country? -Masssly (talk) 12:13, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Masssly: Due to presidential elections approaching soon, it would be life threatening for editors to do a physical event. I'm the founder of the largest Discord (software) community in Sri Lanka. I'll encourage this over that. Our Discord (software) members are passionate about changing the current political narrative. – NirvanaToday^t@lk 12:19, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
