Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria
Welcome to WikiProject Nigeria on the English Wikipedia! We are a project dedicated to improving the coverage of topics related to Nigeria. We have lots of works to do like creating pages, categorising, cleaning up, fighting vandalism, etc, and all modification to Nigerian related talks are subject to discussion. We are also relevant for countering systemic bias. We have do many articles in our space including our monthly updated popular articles and hot articles.

| WP1.0 Assessment table | |
Welcome to the assessment department of the Nigeria WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Nigeria related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Nigeria}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Nigeria articles by quality and Category:Nigeria articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. | |
