Hello and welcome to WikiProject Cyprus, a WikiProject designed to make collaboration and improvement of articles related to Cyprus and Cypriots easier and more effective. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of Wikipedians who are interested or have made substantial contributions to articles related to Cyprus; 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.
WikiProject Cyprus came into being on July 232006, when a group of Wikipedians realized that they had the opportunity to collaborate in a more organized and effective way on articles pertaining to Cyprus and Cypriots. However, participation is not only limited to Cypriots; Wikipedians of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are more than welcome to participate. This Wikiproject is here to expand any current and future Cyprus related articles, and to also bring articles within the scope of this Wikiproject to a better quality level.
Members
The full list of project members is located on a separate subpage; please feel free to add your name to it, if you would like to join the project! Just like any other WikiProject, WP:Cyprus is always looking for new members to help expand.
Adopt an article
Similar 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 WP:CYP has produced.
Showcase
The following is a listing of articles within the scope of this project that have been noted for their outstanding quality.
The project does not claim any authorship or credit for creating these. While many were written by members—sometimes with input from the project as a whole—others were created by uninvolved editors, or predate the existence of the project itself, and are listed here merely because they fall within our scope.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Cyprus}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
The WikiProject Cyprus Barnstar is the project's official award, to be bestowed on anyone who has made significant contributions to Wikipedia's coverage of Cyprus-related articles or to the project itself. It may be awarded by any user, and project members are encouraged to use it to recognize the outstanding work of others.
All of the "list" articles are in need of articles for the people on the list, who don't have an article or it's only a stub. Articles in bold indicate urgent tasks.
All people, places and historical/cultural names found on this list relate to Cyprus, but currently do not have a Wikipedia article, you can help by making one.
