This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!

Welcome to WikiProject Schools! If you are creating, or have just created a new article about any school, please first visit the school article guidelines and ask for help HERE.
Coordinators?
The Coordinators keep the project pages on their watchlists, welcome new participants, maintain lists, keep the discussions tidy, on track, and on the right pages, and check for signatures and page links, and develop sub pages and templates as required, etc. — nothing much more than any experienced project member can do. Coordinators offer their own suggestions and opinions in the normal way.

Things you can do (edit)

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
Schools needing cleanup, WikiProject Schools articles to be moved
Articles in need of emergency, short term attention, Schools articles needing expert attention
Join the project and add {{User WikiProject Schools}} to your talk page. Place the project banner {{WikiProject Schools}} on the talk pages of all articles within the scope of the project. Read the pages at Wikipedia:Schools for the current discussions on school policy. |
The WikiProject Schools pages will help you to make excellent school articles. The project covers all articles about schools, school districts, and related articles such as school, as well as institutions that use collegeoracademy as part of their name, but are actually primary or secondary schools. It also includes further education schools and sixth form colleges, and vocational and job schools that do not award recognised degrees in their own right.[1]
This project aims to improve the quality of school-related articles. Articles within the scope of this project should become far more substantial than stubs, and ultimately match the quality of featured articles.
By their nature, school articles are often targets for vandalism and promotional claims. Editors are asked to be as helpful as possible in removing irrelevant, inappropriate, or unsourced content.
Guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines demonstrate what school articles should contain, and provide a recommended common page structure. These guidelines offer advice that editors are encouraged to follow.
School articles are graded for quality based on the Assessment scale and for importance using the Release Version Criteria scale. For further information, visit the Assessment department.
edit editThis 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 Schools}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options. |
This section notes school articles that can be recommended as a feature article. That is an article that is particularly well-written and complete. Please list an article that is close to this criteria so that everyone can edit away to bring it up to featured article quality and submit it for consideration as a featured article.
This section notes school articles that can be recommended as a good article. That is an article that is particularly well-written and complete but may lack the length or breadth to be a featured article. Please list an article that is close to this criteria so that everyone can edit away to bring it up to good article quality and submit it for consideration as a good article.

Participants in this project are listed at Participants. If you wish to join our project and be of active help in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia school articles, please add your name to the list. If you wish, you can then also add the schools project userbox to your user page. This main page and the navbox on the right list some of the more urgent tasks; be sure to keep it on your watchlist.
Use templates to further spread recognition of this project and create more consistent messages. They are explained and illustrated on our templates page. There's also a small one you might like to add to your own user page.
For full instructions on the use of infoboxes for schools, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines#Infobox.
Please be sure to use the correct infoboxes. Some English speaking countries have specific templates that provide parameters for the data points appropriate for their schools.
These infoboxes should not be placed on a page using subst: ,as it decreases uniformity and makes automated checking more difficult. |
