Introduction
Shlama/Shlomo/ܫܠܡܐ, and welcome to WikiProject Assyria, a WikiProject designed to expand, cleanup and wikify, better organize, and neutralize the point of view on articles related to Assyria and the Assyrian people. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of Wikipedians who are interested in or have made substantial contributions to articles related to Assyrians; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page. For further information on WikiProjects, please see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices. Anyone is free to edit any of the pages listed here, including this page as well. For example, if you see a new Assyrian-related article, then add it to the "New Articles Notifications" on this page.

[[Image:Searchtool.svg|20px|Divisions]]Scope
WikiProject Assyria was introduced on October 29, 2006 in order to collaborate with others in a more organized and effective way on articles pertaining to topics related to the Assyrian ethnic group, composed of people who identify as Assyrian, Chaldean, Syriac, and Aramean.

For early Assyrian history, it is a daughter project of WikiProject Ancient Near East. For Christian times, it is a daughter project of WikiProject Syriac Christianity.

Projects with overlapping scopes include WikiProject Syria, WikiProject Iraq, WikiProject Turkey, and WikiProject Iran. See also WikiProject Arab world.

Project participants may be interested in adding their user page to Category:Assyrian_Wikipedians (for people self-identifying as "Assyrian"), or to the sub-categories Category:Chaldean Wikipedians, and Category:Syriac Orthodox Wikipedians intended for adherents of these respective churches.
