Wikipedia:WikiProject Gambling

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to gambling and the gaming industry. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; 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 and see the to-do list there.

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

Scope

 * The practice of gambling

Goals

 * 1) To provide a central location where discussions involving multiple gambling articles can take place.
 * 2) To improve Wikipedia's coverage of gambling topics in general.
 * 3) To organize and standardize the basic structure of project articles.
 * 4) To keep articles free of spam while maintaining quality sources, references and appropriate external linking in project articles.
 * 5) To generally raise the quality of notes and references in project articles.
 * 6) The majority of articles within the gambling category are poker articles, which after discussion at the WikiProject Poker are generally structured one way. A goal then is to bring the rest of the gambling articles to a similar quality and style.
