Project
Cycling (road) pictogram.svg
The WikiProject Cycling was called into existence on 30 May 2005. Since then, this project has assembled Wikipedians who share interest regarding topics related to cycling, and who are ready to create and expand content belonging to this area.

This WikiProject aims primarily to create, improve and organize articles relating to the bicycle and cycling. This includes but is not limited to the history of the bicycle and cycling as a competitive sport, as recreation, and as a basic method of transportation.

If you feel that you can have a positive contribution to the project, become a member by joining the list of members. If you don't know what to write or where to begin, or if you have doubts or ideas on how to improve an article, please address the project's discussion forum.

Goals
To be determined. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling#Goals.
Parentage
The parents of this WikiProject are WikiProject Sports and WikiProject Transport.
Descendants
The descendants of this WikiProject are WikiProject Australian bicycle racing and the Mountain Biking task force.

Overlapping WikiProjects
An overlapping WikiProject produces some pages which are at least partially cycling-related, even though the primary interest of the WikiProject is about something other than cycling.

If the talk page of an article contains templates from more than one WikiProject, then those WikiProjects could be considered as overlapping. In general, WikiProject Cycling seeks to co-exist harmoniously with other WikiProjects which share editing duties on some of the same articles. We can all help make articles better.

Important pages
Tasks
If you are wondering where to start, take a look at these tasks:
edit · history · watch · refresh Stock post message.svg To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling:
  1. Attract more members: Leave invitations on talk pages, etc.
  2. Cleanup List of bicycle parts: Fill in definitions, fix extraneous articles.
  3. Cleanup and consolidate the racing-related pages. Ongoing efforts include streamlining the various racing categories and classifications under the UCI. Particularly common mistakes include ordering Palmarès with latest information first rather than first to latest (WP:LOW).
  4. Work through Category:Cycling stubs.
  5. Clarify the project goals.
  6. Work through Category:Unassessed cycling articles to assess all cycling articles.Yes check.svgY Done
  7. Identify articles ready for improvement to Good and Featured standard.
  8. Study WP:PROJGUIDE for ideas about what else we need.
  9. Make standards for cycling team articles, cyclist biography articles, and cycling event articles.
  10. Expand this to-do list.

Wikipedia is but one of many wikis. Wikipedia has especially strict requirements for articles. Potentially many articles useful to cyclists do not meet Wikipedia's requirements for encyclopedic content. This can sometimes lead to disputes when well-intentioned cyclists create new articles on Wikipedia. If you write a cycling-related article here and it ends up on WP:AFD, please transwiki it to a wiki which welcomes a wide range of cycling-related content, and exists to serve the interests of cyclists. We will of course continue to develop cycling-related articles on Wikipedia which do satisfy the requirements for encyclopedic content.
Examples of articles unsuitable for Wikipedia
These are some examples of cycling-related article topics which may end up on WP:AFD if they appear on Wikipedia:
  • Small, non-famous bicycle clubs
  • Local group ride schedules and routes (unless a ride is notable, i.e., famous enough to have been written about in reputable media)
  • Reviews of bicycle shops and equipment
  • Travelogue-type articles
  • Articles with many unsourced statements
  • Articles about yourself (if you are famous, better to let someone else write about you)
  • Non-notable bike trails, paths, cycleways, etc.
  • Advocacy articles (although we can write about notable advocacy movements on Wikipedia, actually advocating something must be done elsewhere)
  • Promotional articles (persuading people to join your ride, club, or vote for something)

When in doubt, develop your cycling-related content first on a hospitable wiki and then try copying the article to Wikipedia after you have it in encyclopedic shape.
