Welcome to the Sakura Wars WikiProject! We are a group dedicated to organizing, expanding, clean up, and improving articles related to the Japanese video game series Sakura Wars. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list, or ask one of our participants. If you would like to participate, just add your name to the members list below.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices.

Guidelines
As this project falls under the scope of the anime and manga, video game and film WikiProjects, the guidelines for video game related articles can be found at Manual of Style/Video games, anime and manga related articles can be found at Manual of Style/Anime- and manga-related articles and film-related articles can be found at Manual of Style/Film.

In addition to the usual policies and guidelines, please make sure you understand the specific guidelines related to anime and manga-related articles, as well as film-related articles. Also make sure you are familiar with:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia — a quick rundown of the five key rules you need to start editing.
 * Simplified ruleset — 12 rules of thumb to help you avoid problems.
 * List of policies — a comprehensive list of the 42 official policies.

Mission statement
The goal of the Sakura Wars Wikiproject is to organize, clean, and improve Sakura Wars information within a format that fits Wikipedia's fictional procedures to, ultimately, the level of quality stressed in the Featured Article and Featured List guidelines.

Scope
Currently, this WikiProject covers the following items:
 * 1) Anyone affiliated with the concept of Sakura Wars, including the musicians, casts, gameplay, characters and crews of every Sakura Wars game, film and anime series.
 * 2) Anything located within a Sakura Wars or Sakura Wars-affiliated category, sub-category, list, article, stub, or template.

Goals and duties
Our goals and duties are as follows:
 * 1) Discussions and debates relating to the above items, including merges, citations, other references, image issues, splits, cleanup, formatting, and expansion.
 * 2) Reduce trivial information, speculation, point of view, and anything else that violates Wikipedia's Fictional Guidelines.
 * 3) Monitoring all articles for violations of anything listed in the above two parts.
 * 4) Work toward making all Sakura Wars-related articles and lists clean, organized, well-written, and accessable.
 * 5) Bring numerous articles to Good Article, Featured Article, and/or Featured List status.

Your role
We need the participation of Wikipedians and Sakura Wars fans alike. Here are some general guidelines to follow.

How to help

 * 1) Please sign your name below and introduce yourself in the monthly roll call section of the talk page.
 * 2) Take a look at recent discussions and the things to do page to see if your ideas have already been or need to be addressed.
 * 3) Get to know other users so that you can get a sense of the Project's attitude and each member's opinions on what should be merged, expanded, and so on. This will allow you to work better with the team, especially on major projects.
 * 4) Make sure you cite your sources, follow the project's guidelines in addition to style guidelines, and follow the discussions and agreements for the project.
 * 5) Look for text that seems biased (see WP:NPOV) and fix it.
 * 6) Be bold, but do not be reckless. See the above items and the section below for further information on what to do and what not to do.

How not to help
Do not:
 * 1) Insert un-cited and trivial information (see: WP:FICT, Fancruft, WP:TRIVIA).
 * 2) Revert war (adherence to the One Revert Rule and Three Revert Rule are encouraged)
 * 3) Add original research, unsourced claims, speculation, point of view, excess video game information, vandalism, and patent nonsense.

Things to remember

 * 1) This is a general interest encyclopedia, not GameFAQs.
 * See: What Wikipedia is Not.
 * 1) Again, we stress: this project is mainly for cleanup, organization, enhancement, factual fixes, and so on. Trivial information and fanfiction are frowned upon.

If some of these items seem redundant, it only underscores what we all believe in as a group.
