The resulting WikiProject was not created

Description
A wikiproject dedicated to maintaining, expanding, and cleaning up the various welfare relate articles on wikipedia. (This would be a global project...perhaps a taskforce would then be created for specific countries such as china, britain, and the US.)

 * This is a very large topic that merits much more than a mere article or two. From having lived in both the United States and Sweden, and being aware of other welfare models out there (UK, China, Finland, etc.), I can say with certainty that the very word welfare has radically different meanings to English speakers in different parts of the world. I do think that country-specific articles would be an eventuality. (How can Welfare in the United States and Welfare in Finland be sufficiently discussed in one article? They are so completely different and distinct as to merit separate articles.) If such a project were created, I would support it... as soon as I get through moving to Japan.

 * Well the idea is that there would be a general project with an additional country/region parameter.(Or perhaps we could have region dedicated task forces)Smallman12q (talk) 14:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. What I have in mind is something akin to WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology, which covers Heraldry, Vexillology and numerous related topics and subtopics including the Heraldry by Country series (see Template:Heraldry by country). I have something quite similar in mind for welfare. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 04:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
