Project organization
To do

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to gambling and the gaming industry. 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.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

Scope

To provide a place for editors interested in editing gambling related articles to discuss issues related to those articles, to encourage editors to improve these articles and to organize collaboration on these articles. This includes working to standardize the use of terms and phrases in the various articles.

The project is interested in the following areas:

  • The practice of gambling
  • Companies in the gaming industry
  • Games of chance
  • Gaming devices

Goals

  1. To provide a central location where discussions involving multiple gambling articles can take place.
  2. To improve Wikipedia's coverage of gambling topics in general.
  3. To organize and standardize the basic structure of project articles.
  4. To keep articles free of spam while maintaining quality sources, references and appropriate external linking in project articles.
  5. To generally raise the quality of notes and references in project articles.
  6. The majority of articles within the gambling category are poker articles, which after discussion at the WikiProject Poker are generally structured one way. A goal then is to bring the rest of the gambling articles to a similar quality and style.

Attacks/Spam

Articles recently or generally prone to repeated vandalization or spam.
