[edit] Structure

Articles on Antarctica Highways should be named with the convention: Antarctica Route x (where x is the route number). If a more common name can be found for the highway, use that instead. For footrails, the naming convention is Antarctica n Trail (where n is the name of the trails). For routes made by penguins, the naming convention is Penguin Path z (Antarctica) (where z is the route number). Please note that Penguin trails use the Principle 2 format from WP:SRNC; this is to ensure SPUI's happiness.

[edit] Goals

• Phase 1: Find Antarctica Highways
• Phase 2: ???
• Phase 3: BIG PROFIT!

[edit] Antarctica Highways Found

• Casey Road (Casey Station, Antarctica)
• Penguin Path 482
• Penguins clearing the way for a new Breeding Grounds Bypass. (When complete, it should 88 lanes wide, however the project is low on funds.)
• Penguin Path 66 (Looks like a few penguins decided to take advantage of the rest area by the water)
• Antarctica Route 1
• Lack of signage leaves some penguins confused
• Big Road Sign And you thought the signage at Death Valley was bad.
• Road Rage in Antarctica

[edit] Tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Antarctica Highways:	edit · history · watch · refresh
Here are some tasks you can do: Cleanup: after the penguins. This needs to be done regularly. NPOV: Removal of speciesist language where appropriate. Other: Build roads in Antarctica that we can then create pages about.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, picture-taking (if possible), or doing construction work for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] Assessment

This project now engages in assessments. Editors willing to help assess the staggering number of articles we deal with are urgently needed!

[edit] Collaboration

Like many other projects, we believe it is vital to bring focused attention on given articles to improve them. Given the, ahem, lack of manual dexterity many of our members might have, it also will help to have those members who can type assist those who can't.

[edit] Translation

Editors who can assist in translation from Aptenodytes and other related languages would be extremely valuable. Anyone who can assist is welcome to indicate as much here.

[edit] Peer review

Please list any articles for peer review here.
