[edit] Current projectsThe main project is Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories. Its sub-projects are listed below. Volunteers to these projects are very welcome. [edit] Categorization policy
[edit] Finding uncategorized articles
[edit] Cleaning the category system
[edit] Table of Contents schemesThere are various attempts to create a "Table of Contents" for Wikipedia. "Top-level" categories of this type are themselves added to Category:Categories. Other schemes are listed at Wikipedia:Category schemes. The pages and categories listed generally require updating, organizing, and consolidation. [edit] Cross-referencing projects

[edit] Useful Tools[edit] Organizing it allWelcome to the Community WikiProject! [edit] ScopeThis project's primary purpose is to build and manage Portal:Community (Wikipedia Community Reference) - a guide to articles that deal with the definitions of community and community development in general. The secondary purpose is to apply what we learn from that reference to the Wikipedia Community itself.

See /Communitas! [edit] ArticlesCommunity has been nominated as a "Good article". It is was on COTF. Portal:Community is also in the process of being aligned with the main article to provide easy navigation along the pathways of community topics. The List of community topics provides a classification of much Wikipedia content related to community and is this project's tool for keeping things organised and handy.

The box above is a summary of Community articles by quality. The following sections outline the process we're using to gather and cite sources, rewrite and refine community-related articles, and develop topically arraged navigational aids for our readers and editors. We are continually in need of participants, whether they join this project or not. WikiProject Community is designed to be a community of practice akin to those who produce professional academic journals. We take the subject very seriously as Wikipedians interested in sociology, and are taking the tools "up one level" to support WikiProject Sociology. These tools were first used by WikiProject Chemistry. WikiProject The Beatles and many other WikiProjects have been instrumental in improving them. This project also extends to Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikia and other Wiki sites through the /Communitas! program. [edit] ClassificationThe current classification of wikipedia articles relating to community can be found at the List of community topics. This list is mirrored here in the Community WikiProject space on /Organization from which the following /Assessment subpage is built. The goal of this subpage is to organise all of the content, comprehensively, according to its importance and relevance. Once we finish that task, we will produce another subpage, /Classification. [edit] AssessmentWe're working with the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team to begin the process of pulling all community related articles up toward featured or at least good article status. The /Assessment page will contain Community articles by importance and Community articles by quality. We will be using the List of community topics and the main Community article as structural guides with a long-term goal of bringing Portal:Community up to Featured portal status. See Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Work via Wikiprojects for more information. [edit] OutreachThe local encyclopedic portal has counterparts on other sites:

Our intent is to conform to the suggestions and guidlines of WikiProject Categories to create logical and complete category schemes without too much redundancy. Please participate in the discussions here and / or here after reading some things like this.

[edit] Applied community development at WikipediaA community builder is a person that is committed to getting in and learning how a community is organized, who's who, what's what, where things are and how things are done. Our focus areas are User categorisation, Classification and Wikipedia Version 1.0. Our approach is to build a sense of community upon our sense of place, our shared interests and our common work methods. Our goal is to initiate a community building culture that we call Communitas — the spirit of community. We have put into place a structure of meaning that we believe is shared by a substantial number of Wikipedians. This structure is best seen by looking at the topics at Top-importance community articles. We are going to set up a massive collaboration effort in a program we call /Communitas! The purpose of this project is to produce a professional quality community development journal focused from within online communities called Communitas! [edit] Main tableThe table below identifies some logical starting points from a WP:CBTF perspective. Feel free to add it to your User page and work with it. —=== Wikipedia community Welfare === In South Africa we've got a growing problem in abandoned babies, orphan babies and unwanted babies. There are babies left at birth in hospital everyday. The mother can't or doesn't want to look after the baby, and just leaves it behind at birth and goes home. There's a project called uMephi, which is managed and founded by the AFM Church, who addresses the problem of all these babies in need. Some babies are left on rubbish dumps, or somewhere in the field. The Welfare council identify's a town, who can Manage and run a babyhouse. Then the Welfare council purchase a house in that particular town. A Project Manager gets appointed to do all the local managing of the house, together with a Comitee, who does certain duties. A Houseparent gets screened and trained to live in the house with the babies, assisted with day & night shiftworkers. The houses are supported by funds and donations out of the community. Currently (year 2007) there are 23 such babyhouses in South Africa, who cares for these babies in need. The houses has designated Social Workers, who handles each case personally to ensure the best outcome for each and every baby in need. Once the baby is placed in the house, the Social Worker will search for family or relatives who'd want to take care of the baby. If there's nobody who'd like to take the baby, preferably a legally married couple, will be screened to take the baby into Forster Care, or Adoption, depending on the baby's circumstances. The house in Polokwane, South Africa is situated very close to the North Boarders, and is Managed by Yolande Stevens contact number: +27825525481 or email: kantoor@agsp.co.za Feel free to contact for any further information [edit] Elsewhere on the WebAbout the Wikimedia project:
