Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge

  The Oceania 10,000 Challenge Improve/create any article on anywhere in Oceania whenever you feel like it and list it!... {| cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: 	#000080; border: 0; height: 1%;" Coming soon... Thought it was worth setting up a page and seeing if some editors who are active for some Oceanian countries might be interested in some sort of ambitious challenge to aim for long term with 10,000 article improvements or creations for Oceania. The idea is based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK and The 10,000 Challenge (Africa).

The idea is not to document every minor edit or improvement, but to create a momentum by displaying the diversity of content being improved or created for each country and make it more visible regionally, and in turn attempt to inspire and motivate people to work on countries they might not normally work on or reinforce existing national WikiProject efforts to improve content. With that in place, eventually there might be some contests in the format of Wales's Awaken the Dragon, The Africa Destubathon or regional/national contests held for Oceanian countries with prizes, contests for Oceanian women etc to help fuel the drive but we'll see.

I anticipate that this will get the least attention out of the 10,000 continent challenges, but thought it worth setting at 10,000 as a Destubathon or contest much like the African one would likely apply to all countries of the continent anyway so make reaching the goal possible. The general idea will be the WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge feeding into this to reinforce the effort.

Goals

 * Improve the quality of existing articles related to Australia, New Zealand and the wider Oceania, and to encourage more editors to improve general article quality and sourcing. Try to ensure that no article created or existing is unsourced, and try to ensure that every article has no unsourced statements and that Citations are neatly drawn up and consistently formatted. The most important goal of the challenge is to try to see an overall improvement in quality for Oceanian countries, and more consistency in articles in any category.
 * To encourage the creation of missing content and build a highly comprehensive coverage of every Oceanian country on English Wikipedia. In doing so, to develop a detailed missing article directory for Oceanian countries by area and topic to promote long term growth and view overall scope.
 * To make existing settlement articles for Oceania consistently of minimum quality, with some geographical and population information and create new articles in the same style. Eventually aim to have a satisfactory article for every settlement in Oceania.
 * Help cleanup existing articles which might get a lot of traffic and ip spamming. Devise a way of maintaining article quality and getting more editors to cover differ areas and more articles going on watchlist to protect content long term and guide new editors to become quality editors themselves.
 * To generate a strong momentum for Australia, New Zealand, Oceania and stage contests/editathons which fuel growth and attract people to develop those countries which might not otherwise get much attention. In the long term, try to build bridges with institutions within Australia, New Zealand and Oceania and get them to see the potential of wikipedia for national development. Get libraries, universities and cultural institutions involved in hosting editathons and forming partnerships with wikipedia in contests, which promote growth.

Feeder challenges
To increase editorial interest, a series of Sub Challenges, typically 1000-5000 articles, will develop over time. The idea will be to run them as their own challenges but update this big list as the challenges progress.

Australia
Sign up on that page and contribute there if you only work on Australian-related content.

New Zealand
We'll need around 5 active editors to make it worth starting I think:

Here though, add the country in brackets that you've worked on. I hope that people can focus a lot on improving existing article quality on this. destubbing and cleanup, not just new articles.
