Welcome to the main page of the Star Wars WikiProject. The project launched on February 11, 2006. Currently, we have 34 active members.

If interested, please sign our participants section.

More items to be added later.

Scope and goals

Mission statement

The goal of the Star Wars Wikiproject is to organize, clean, and improve Star Wars information within a format that fits Wikipedia's fictional procedures to, ultimately, the level of quality stressed in the Featured Article and Featured List guidelines.

Scope

Currently, this WikiProject covers the following items:

  1. Anyone affiliated with the concept of Star Wars, including the musicians, casts, and crews of every Star Wars film.
  2. Anything featured on the Star Wars portal.
  3. Anything located within a Star Wars or Star Wars-affiliated category, sub-category, list, article, stub, or template.

Goals and duties

Our goals and duties are as follows:

  1. Discussions and debates relating to the above items, including merges, citations, other references, image issues, splits, cleanup, formatting, and expansion.
  2. Reduce trivial information, speculation, point of view, and anything else that violates Wikipedia's Fictional Guidelines.
  3. Monitoring all articles for violations of anything listed in the above two parts.
  4. Work toward making all Star Wars-related articles and lists clean, organized, well-written, and accessable.
  5. Bring numerous articles to Good Article, Featured Article, and/or Featured List status.

Your role

We need the participation of Wikipedians and Star Wars fans alike. Here are some general guidelines to follow.

How to help

  1. Please sign your name below and introduce yourself in the monthly roll call section of the talk page.
  2. Take a look at recent discussions and the things to do page to see if your ideas have already been or need to be addressed.
  3. Get to know other users so that you can get a sense of the Project's attitude and each member's opinions on what should be merged, expanded, and so on. This will allow you to work better with the team, especially on major projects.
  4. Make sure you cite your sources, follow the project's guidelines in addition to style guidelines, and follow the discussions and agreements for the project.
  5. Look for text that seems biased (see WP:NPOV) and fix it.
  6. Be bold, but do not be reckless. See the above items and the section below for further information on what to do and what not to do.

How not to help

Do not:

  1. Insert un-cited and trivial information (see: WP:FICT, Fancruft).
  2. Revert war (adherance to the One Revert Rule is encouraged)
  3. Add original research, unsourced claims, speculation, point of view, excess video game information, vandalism, and patent nonsense.

Things to remember

  1. This is a general interest encyclopedia, not GameFAQs or Wookieepedia.
  2. See: What Wikipedia is Not.
  3. Again, we stress: this project is mainly for cleanup, organization, enhancement, factual fixes, and so on. Trivial information and fanfiction are frowned upon.

If some of these items seem redundant, it only underscores what we all believe in as a group.

Open/major tasks

The following is a chart of our largest tasks. For a complete list, please see the things to do subpage, in addition to our talk page. Project members, this chart should feature "priority one" tasks!

Grand Moff Tarkin: this article is very close and may even be at good article status. This is one of the gems we inherited when you guys started the project. This has the real potential to become a featured article!

Other

  • See the Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/index for a list of Star Wars-related articles that do not require significant attention. Chances are, if an item doesn't belong on that list or isn't on there, it needs do be fixed (make a note on the things to do page and/or the discussion page).
  • Also remember that there is a Star Wars barnstar that you can give out to deserving editors.
