Wikipedia:WikiProject Los Angeles Rams/Goals

Our primary goal is to "standardize content by implementing our manual of style, following guidelines accepted by the Los Angeles Rams WikiProject and her parent National Football League project, adhering to policy, and improving the quality of content". Our manual of style is constantly enforced and updated. However, sometimes it slips away, questions about new additions come up, or changes are made. In these cases, it is important to make sweeping changes to enforce the new version of the manual of style. Other times, ideas are tested on articles and then added to the manual. In general, this goal is attained through adherence to our manual of style, which in turn adheres to all policies and most guidelines. Since this is a subproject of the National Football League project, in general the guidelines set forth in this parent project will also be the guideline in our project. Please remember that there is a significant difference between policy and guideline.

The Wikipedia policy will be strictly enforced by our project. This includes nominating articles for deletion, blocking vandals, upholding consensus in a firm but civil manner, and holding talkpage discussions. Also, remember the first rule of Wikipedia according to founder Jimbo Wales: Ignore all rules.

Our secondary goal is to "improve all material to at least Good Article or Featured List status". This is an attainable long-term goal if all material follows all policies and the manual of style as stated in our primary goal. This goal will require synergy and hard work, but the reward is a sense of accomplishment.

Our short-term goals, in order of priority, include:


 * 1) Increase the number of participants to 20.
 * 2) Develop our manual of style.
 * 3) Develop our categories department.
 * 4) Develop our templates department.
 * 5) Bring the St. Louis Rams article up to at least a Good Article.
 * 6) Bring the History of the St. Louis Rams article up to at least a Good Article.
