The Volleyball Wikiproject is a WikiProject dedicated to making Wikipedia's knowledge of volleyball and volleyball-related information as complete as possible. We're also here to keep Wiki's databank of volleyball information clean of WP:NPOV and WP:NOR issues. Add {{WikiProject Volleyball|class=|importance=}} to the article's talk page and assess it.

Goals

• Standardize the appearance and layout of volleyball related articles.
• Improve and generally guide the development of volleyball related articles.

Scope

• Any article relating to volleyball.

Please feel free to add your name to this list of members. There is no minimum or maximum participation level, these two divisions are for you to determine where you believe you would fit best.

It would also help the project if you would indicate any areas of particular interest. This way, if there is an article that may especially interest you, you could be notified of the required assistance.

To change "to do list", you have to change this page.

1. Assess existing articles. For more info, please read the Volleyball WikiProject Assessment Guidelines

• Assessment of existing Volleyball Player Bios Complete (At least the ones categorized in Wikipedia. There may be some lone players not linked in any major way.

1. Work on the Volleyball, FIVB, Volleyball World League, AVP, and other volleyball related articles to make them more complete.
2. Adding/Improving Many notable national team, beach, and international players are not yet included on Wikipedia. Many that are here are only stubs. Work on expanding all notable player articles.
3. Create templates to make volleyball related articles interwoven and easy-to-read.
4. Add to master list List of volleyball players or consider dumping it and replace it with existing category.
5. Add notable coaches to Wiki: For American volleyball notoriety, see [1]

1. Tagging Make sure the talk pages of volleyball-related articles have the Wikiproject tag and grades on them. It's minor because there are thousands of volleyball-related articles on WP.

How about asking at bot requests for a bot to tag everything in Category:Volleyball and its subcats? Cheers --Pak21 19:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about bots, but yeah-I agree that we could do that. BrianZ^(talk) 19:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any update on this? Like I said, I know zero about bots. BrianZ^(talk) 19:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither I (nor anyone else as far as I know) ever requested anything to happen, so it didn't... I have now put the request at WP:BOTREQ#WikiProject Volleyball tagging. Cheers --Pak21 21:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome Pak, thanks. BTW feel free to add yourself as a member of the project. ;) BrianZ^(talk) 21:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
