Wikipedia:WikiProject Syria/Goals

The main goals of this WikiProject are to:
 * Improve and maintain Syria-related articles: fact and prose checking, expanding and ensuring currency of information, providing reliable citations and references, maintaining a NPOV, bringing more selected articles up to Featured article or Good article status;
 * Expand Wikipedia's coverage of Syria-related topics: check for completeness of articles, start new articles, expand entries on neglected subjects;
 * Maintaining consistency in article organization: maintaining a similar structure, coverage and presentation across articles, maintaining categories and links;
 * Develop tools and resources for others to use in article production: templates, categories, infoboxes, diagrams, base maps, useful and commonly used references;
 * Coordinating collaborations: between editors to establish priorities and avoid duplication of effort, gaining consensus on disputed issues.
 * Develop the subject's site map: the Outline of Syria is intended to map out Wikipedia's coverage of Syria, providing a convenient navigation aid to visiting the many articles about Syria, by providing links to those articles or the lists which include them. This navigation system is useful to both readers and editors. It helps readers see what is available, and it helps editors see the gaps that need to be filled and identify problems in existing articles.  (And by using "Related changes", it serves as an extensive watchlist).
