Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan/Collaboration

Okay, here we go
Let's discuss how we want to structure this collaboration. I'd like to keep it as simple as possible in order to not make it a burden to run it. Ideas? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon joe 09:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Moved all associated pages
I've moved all the associated pages I could find so they all reside here now. I've also fixed all the redirects so there aren't any double redirs. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon joe 20:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

"Vital articles"
The page Vital articles lists a thousand articles and "serves as a guide for featured articles." Several are related to Japan:


 * Hokusai
 * Japan
 * Japanese yen
 * Hirohito (Good Article)
 * Tokyo
 * Shinto
 * Japanese language

These would make good candidates for collaborations to bring them toward Good Article or Featured Article status.

 * I think this is a good start. We can also use Category:Top-importance Japan-related articles (40 articles), Category:A-Class Japan-related articles (11 articles), and Category:GA-Class Japan-related articles (21 articles) for articles to work on. Especially important would be Top-importance articles that are either A- or GA-class:


 * Japanese art (A-class)
 * Junichiro Koizumi (A-class)
 * Tokyo (already listed above, A-class)


 * So, that's two more, making a total of 9 articles from Wiki Vital and Japan Top. I think with the others in these three categories we have plenty that we could work on. Should we rank them? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk  to Nihon joe 05:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Ranked
Here's my quick and dirty ranking of the articles above (the order in which I think they should be worked on):
 * Japan
 * Tokyo
 * Japanese language
 * Shinto
 * Japanese art
 * Junichiro Koizumi
 * Hokusai
 * Hirohito
 * Japanese yen

Anyone else have any suggestions for an order? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon joe 01:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think Shinto is a really great candidate, because it's already a very well-researched, well-written article (though a bit long, as I recall)... and only lacks citations. And since there's also a WikiProject Shinto, making that the collaboration might attract notice and bring a few of those people over here to help us get things going.
