{{flagicon|Assyria}} Introduction

{{lang|syr|ܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܥܸܠܘܿܟܼܘܼܢ ܟܘܼܠܘܿܟܼܘܢ}}, {{lang|syr|ܫܠܳܡܳܐ ܐܰܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܟܘܠܝܟܘܢ}}, and welcome to WikiProject Assyria, a WikiProject designed to expand, cleanup and wikify, better organize, and neutralize the point of view on articles related to Assyria and the Assyrian people (including those who identify as Chaldean or Syriac-Aramean). This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of Wikipedians who are interested in or have made substantial contributions to articles related to Assyrians; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and improve the efforts of other Wikipedians.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page. For further information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices. Anyone is free to edit any of the pages listed here, including this page as well. For example, if you see a new Assyrian-related article, then add it to the "New Articles Notifications" on this page.

[[Image:Searchtool.svg|20px|Divisions]]Scope

WikiProject Assyria was introduced on October 29, 2006 in order to collaborate with others in a more organized and effective way on articles pertaining to topics related to the Assyrian ethnic group, composed of people who identify as Assyrian, Chaldean, Syriac, and Aramean.

For early Assyrian history, WikiProject Assyria is a daughter project of WikiProject Ancient Near East. For topics regarding Syriac Christianity and the Christian beliefs of Assyrians, it is a daughter project of WikiProject Syriac Christianity.

Projects with overlapping scopes include WikiProject Syria, WikiProject Iraq, WikiProject Turkey, and WikiProject Iran. See also WikiProject Arab world.

Project participants may be interested in adding their user page to Assyrian Wikipedians (for people self-identifying as "Assyrian"), or to the sub-categories Chaldean Wikipedians, Syriac Orthodox Wikipedians, and Assyrian Church Wikipedians intended for adherents of these respective churches.
