Welcome to the New York Yankees WikiProject! We are a group dedicated to the creation and improvement of articles related to the New York Yankees.

[edit] Goal

Our goal is to make Wikipedia's coverage of the New York Yankees as good as it can get.

[edit] Scope

Our scope is basically anything to do with the Yankees, however that does not include players that have faced the Yankees.

[edit] Featured Content

I think our coverage of the Yankees is becoming extensive enough to have featured articles. What do you guys think about doing a New York Yankee Article of the Week? Keep in mind that the articles we select for each week should be very high quality articles, completely documented, and have plenty of pics, trivia, etc. -- ThirdPoliceman 22:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree, except for Trivia. And for starters, when I finish the 1921 game log, I will nominate the 1921 Yankee article as a candidate. Infobox, good opening paragraph, soon-to-be completed game log, statistics, World Series overview, just needs a picture or two and it would be perfect. Soxrock

Before we nominate, let's first think of how this will be presented. I think it would be cool if we could:

• Make a graphic that we put on the selected topic's discussion page
  • This graphic can be a template or just a tiny button that says this has been featured
• Perhaps have a link on the New York Yankees Main Page that can direct the viewer to the article of the week?
  • Maybe we can put that link on the Team Template

That's all I got, feel free to throw some stuff in. ThirdPoliceman 23:11, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• I say that is a great idea! --Pupster21 Talk To Me 11:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Usually articles of the week are to fix up articles to get them promoted to good or featured status, not to recognize already good articles. --Michael Greiner 16:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nominated Articles

Before nominating an article, you must:

1. Be sure the article is in the scope of WP: Yankees
2. Be sure the article is rated high quality
3. Be sure the article is well cited, has pix, and is interesting

[edit] To Do

• Maintain/update all articles under the scope of the wikiproject. (Ongoing)

• All articles were checked by AWB on June 24, 2007 and are good with underlying structure and coding, but content is lacking on some. Michael Greiner 03:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Shorten the Team History portion of the New York Yankees page. -- ThirdPoliceman (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Possible Yankees-Orioles Rivalry page. Long time rivalry dating back to the Yankees originally coming from Baltimore and also their long standing rivalry through the decades...the 70's teams to the 1996 ALCS and beyond. Arnabdas (talk) 00:13, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Page created as Orioles-Yankees rivalry in December 2009. Please contribute. Arnabdas (talk) 15:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
