Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Trains in Japan. 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.
Some articles are in states of bad disrepair, with awkward grammar, formatting and spelling. This WikiProject helps highlight these problems, and seeks to improve the visibility of articles about trains in Japan.
Although "Trains in Japan" may sound like a narrow topic, in reality there are hundreds of pages to be created and expanded.
Provide a centralized discussion point for articles about railways in Japan
Standardize articles about Trains in Japan
Provide information that's useful for both railway enthusiasts and visitors to Japan
Create an interesting portal
And of course... improve as many Japanese railway articles to featured status
Inter-wiki Relations
Since many of the articles in our scope originated as translations of the articles at the Japanese Wikipedia, one of our aims is to improve relations with Wikipedias in other languages. In particular, we could improve the quality of the articles here by inviting English-speaking users from the Japanese Wikipedia, and translating articles as part of this Project.
Please keep the list alphabetical by display name for ease of reading and reference.

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 the Project has produced. Please list your name next to the article you are working on.
To flag an article for attention, add a cleanup template to the article or talk page. See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for a listing. All previously listed articles have been either fixed or tagged

Hisakyu @ Japan English site Photos of signs etc. Useful for researching how to write things like station names.
