Wikipedia:WikiProject Normandy

Welcome to WikiProject Normandy. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Normandy and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

• Provide guidance to Wikipedians wishing to improve articles related to Normandy.
• Help coordinate efforts aiming to improve and augment the coverage of Normandy topics.
• Maintain a sensible categorization of Wikipedia articles related to Normandy.
• Maintain the Portal:Normandy

Scope

• This project will encompass all aspects of the experience of Normandy in the World, including culture, history, politics, business, sports, etc. It will cover everything from the first Normans in 911 to Norman influence around the world.

As of 27 April 2024, there are 3,906 articles within the scope of WikiProject Normandy, of which 8 are featured and 10 are good articles. This makes up 0.06% of the articles on Wikipedia, 0.07% of all featured articles and lists, and 0.03% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 8,524 pages in the project.

Guidelines

• Participants are advised to follow the principles, policies and guidelines of this encyclopedia, paying particular attention to these points:

• In as much as possible, prefer English-language sources over French-language ones for the sake of verifiability. When alternatives to French-language sources cannot be found, it is suggested to provide a translation for the referenced passages. See Wikipedia:Verifiability (Non-English sources).
• In conformity with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), articles should have a French name if really it is the usage, among English speakers, to refer to a given object by that name.

10. Qualcomm250 (talk · contribs), interests are in challenging misconceptions on the Normans, namely denying their specificity as a people by categorising them as Vikings or French, by referring to proper historiography
