This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you have a passion for rugby union and wish to make Wikipedia the world's foremost reference on rugby union like the rest of our participants then add your name to the participants list. Then read the section below labelled How to help or inquire on our talk page. We are in search of graphic artists willing to create rugby union diagrams. Also any images of professional league players would be very helpful. Scope The aim of the project is to create a pool of consistent and attractive articles that are easy to find and interesting and understandable to both rugby fanatics and people new to the game. This is achieved by maintaining, creating and updating: articles related to rugby union the rugby union category and sub-category structures templates, infoboxes and other tools to help display and make better use of content the rugby union portal current events with international matches and provincial competitions recent deaths when notable rugby union players pass on How to help Create — If an article has not been written on a notable rugby topic, then it should be created. Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union/Requests contains articles that have been requested by other editors. If you don't have the time or the knowledge to create an important article a request can be left here. Clean up — Many articles, especially when they are first written, can be messy, incomprehensive and even incorrect. You can help by tidying up and correcting such articles with respect to the wikiproject's guidelines on formatting articles. Rugby union articles tagged with various issues can be found here. Expand — Many articles do not contain much information and should be expanded. A good place to find articles needing expansion is the rugby union stubs category. Improve — While bringing an article to feature status is an advanced job it is a lot easier to take an article to good status. This requires ensuring the article is broad, well referenced, and the prose is satisfactory. Help improving the quality of any rugby article is much appreciated. If you are a photographer and are willing to submit photos to be used on Wikipedia (read about important copyright licensing first), see this list for articles needing photos. Assess — A large number of rugby related articles are unassessed. You can assess these articles using our criteria and assign an importance and quality ranking to them. Categorise — Label articles of interest to the project by putting the {{WikiProject Rugby union}} template on the talk page. The article should also be placed in the most specific category possible. Articles can be found by browsing the rugby union category or by typing a desired article into the search box to see if it exists and what shape it is in.
