[edit] Review and assessment[edit] Traveling around the World on Wikipedia: the lists of basic country topicsAlong with the main article on each country, the lists of basic country topics should be considered top priority for development and maintenance, because they are the corresponding general reference resource on Wikipedia for each country. Based on a standard design each list presents its information in the same logical order, so that when completed, these lists will be the easiest way on Wikipedia to study countries or find general information about them. Each list doubles as a general outline of knowledge about a country and as a table of contents (or fundamental site map) of the material about that country on Wikipedia. These lists are intended to be the next stage of evolution of navigation aid for browsing country-related information on Wikipedia, improving upon (and complementing) the presentation of country-related subjects in Wikipedia's category system. One of these pages has been created for every country of the world and development is already well underway, but so far only a few have been transferred to the encyclopedia itself...
Are your favorite countries covered in the encyclopedia yet, or are they still in the draft section? [edit] Developing and maintaining the "list of basic geography topics"The list of basic geography topics is a general overview of geography. It is part of Lists of basic topics (the members of which share a common format), and is thus part of Wikipedia's table of contents system. It is incomplete and needs to be finished. The list also needs dedicated editors to watchlist it, to counter vandalism and to monitor its development. Finally, it needs to be maintained, to reflect changes on the presentation of the subject on Wikipedia (adding links to new relevant topics, updating links, etc.). Most importantly, since it outlines geography and is a key navigation aid for browsing geography topics on Wikipedia, the WikiProject Geography is the perfect caretaker for this page. Please adopt it, improve it and treat it with tender loving care. [edit] Articles needing attention
[edit] Requests for comments on pagesThis section is for short notifications of pages with problems, or where some attention is needed. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page.
[edit] Requests for review of articlesThis section is for notifications of pages which wish to be graded as a Good Article or would like support to be a Featured Article. If you list a page here, put a longer description on the pages talk page. Additionally, leave a copy of the longer description under the article name on the /General page.
[edit] Adopt an articleSimilar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
