Welcome to the Wales WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to Wales.

Goals

  • The goal of this WikiProject is to provide complete coverage on subjects related to Wales, by creating, expanding, and maintaining articles on people, places, and things resident or native to Wales.

Scope

  • This project proposes to work with all pages related to Wales, its history, geography, and people. These should all be included in the :Category:Wales or one of its subcategories.

Guidelines

{{main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Guidelines}}

We shall try to follow the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for our articles.

Open tasks

All members should always feel free to patrol the recent changes list to note improvements, other changes, or vandalism of articles within the scope of this project.

=Destubathon in March 2020=

The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned. £50 available for the most Wales destubs. Sign up on page if interested in participating; hope this will prove to be good fun and productive.
