[edit] About WikiProject Wine Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Wine. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please add your name to the list of participants below, see the Open Tasks list, or just dig in and start editing. This WikiProject aims to compile thorough and accurate information on different vineyards, wineries and varieties of wines, including but not limited to their qualities, origins, and uses. [edit] Participants You can join this project by adding your name on the participants list and placing the {{User WikiProject Wine}} template on your user page. Note: All participants will receive our fortnightly Newsletter.

- EngineerScotty (talk · contribs) 04:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC). I'm still a beer drinker at heart (beer has the distinct advantage of not costing USD $30--or orders of magnitude more--for a good bottle), but there's a lot of grapes to harvest on this subject. I'll focus mainly on Oregon wine, but probably (definitely) will have lots of suggestions. And since I probably couldn't distinguish a bottle of Grand cru Burgundy from two buck chuck without reading at the bottle :), I'll bring a different (and possibly) skeptical perspective to the party.

[edit] Watchers This section is for editors who are interested in following the project and maybe receiving our Bi-weekly Newsletter but do not anticipate being very active in contributing to wine related articles. [edit] See also | [edit] Ways to contribute  | The Wine Improvement Drive is currently inactive However the page is being kept as an archive with the possibility of reopening it at a later date. This message posted 31 January 2009 | This list is transcluded from the tasks page, to edit this section click here.
| Here are some tasks you can do for WikiProject Wine: - Article request: Andy Beckstoffer, Charles Krug, Gaja (wine), Georg Scheu, Gimblett Gravels, Global warming and wine, Maltese wine, John Patchett, Slovak wine, Viña Errázuriz, Vinexpo, Wine auctions, Wine critics, Wine ratings, Vine training systems.
- Articles to GA: Wine, Australian wine, Bordeaux wine, Burgundy wine, California wine, Champagne (wine), Chianti, Dessert wine, French wine, German wine, Grenache, Italian wine, Merlot, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Rioja (wine), Sauvignon blanc, Spanish wine, Sparkling wine, Syrah, Tempranillo, Winemaking
- Photo request: Just about all of them! Any pictures of wine regions, grape varieties or wine would be useful. In particular we need wine region maps that can be licensed for Wikipedia.
- Other: Comment on the grape article template and on the grape infobox. Not sure if this is the right place to add this but if anyone would like feel free to help build wikiquote page for wine:[wine]
| A community forum has been established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. A general forum can be found here. - Goal specific forums
- Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.
- Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.
The reason this extension of the notability requirements is necessary is that there is a constant inflow of pages for restaurants that do not have, or have a very tenuous, notability. [edit] Article information [edit] New articles requests [edit] Alerts - Proposed deletion
- Articles for deletion
- Good article reassessment
- Did you know
- Other news
[edit] Articles for deletion | Please add any articles, categories, images or templates that have been proposed for deletion here, | [edit] Wine related AfDs and MfDs [edit] Other deletion proposals Please list deletions, other than AfDs and MfDs in the appropriate section below.
[edit] Articles proposed for merging Could the category Category:Wineries by country (with 18 countries) include the pages in Category:Wine producers which only has 4 countries, and seems to be a duplicate category as some (all?) are Wineries? Hugo999 (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC) - Shouldn't that be the other way round? A winery is specific type of wine producer. I wouldn't object to merging both categories into wine producers. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
| [edit] Articles to translate from other Wikis [edit] Volunteer translators - Catalan: User:MIckStephenson - Probably not much call for it, but I could use the practice!
- Danish: User:Nwinther - I don't dabble around too much on danish wikipedia, but I'll gladly chip in when needed.
- French:
- User:Mroconnell - You should send me requests without hesitation and I'll do what I can.
- User:scyrene - I have a degree in French, and will happily translate any articles sent to me. I will have a go at Portuguese and Catalan too (Spanish and Italian at a push), but defer to other users' expertise which no doubt exceeds my own.
- User:Kudpung - French => English (native). Home in the heart of the Rhône
- User:Gotox
- User:Tomas_e
- Hungarian: User:Balazs.varadi - Again, might not be of huge interest, but I am ready to pitch in.
- Italian:
- User:LAMM707 - Hope I can be of help.
- User:Ian Spackman - no expert in the language or in the wine, but there are billions of articles to translate and I offer my services as the first of the millions of collaboraters LAMM707 will need! Now you can do me a good turn in advance of those translations. The weekend after next I shall be in the Val Cordera, just north of Lake Como. What should I make absolutely sure of drinking?
- User:alphac Who better than an Italian from Asti could help in adding info to the Italian wines? :-D
- User:Charleenmerced
- User:MIckStephenson - happy to act as backup here
- BodegasAmbite - Willing and eager to translate articles from Spanish into English :)
