The Scotland WikiProject is a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Scotland. This WikiProject is modelled on other similar projects and was started in August 2006, following a consultation. It runs alongside the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board, which had been functioning as a de facto WikiProject Scotland since October 2005.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).


 * Our goals
 * To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of Scotland.
 * To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Scotland by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
 * To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Scotland in Wikipedia.


 * Our scope
 * The project generally considers any article related to Scotland to be a valid topic.


 * Our structure
 * Internally, the project may develop several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:
 * Coordinators, who are responsible for maintaining the administrative aspects of the project
 * Departments, which coordinate work on certain specialised tasks, such as peer review or project-wide collaboration
 * Specialised WikiProjects, which are groups for collaboration on specific areas of Scotland, such as geography, politics and sports.
