  2. Scour the various categories and sub-categories in it.wiki and scn.wiki looking for likely candidates for translation into English (see scn:Category:Sicilia and it:Categoria:Regione Sicilia).
  3. Scour personal (and public) libraries for potential material to create articles on all matters Sicilian (allowing for all copyright laws and proper referencing).
  4. Creation of all necessary templates, including Sicilian municipalities and other project related templates.

  6. Scour existing Sicilian related articles for red links, add to correct sub-category below, may even need to create further sub-categories.

[edit] The Sicilian Provinces (li pruvinci siciliani) and their municipalities (li soi cumuna)

[edit] Provinces/Pruvinci

[edit] Municipalities/Cumuna

There are over 600 Sicilian municipalities, most of which are currently stubs or have not even been started yet.

[edit] Other subjects related to Sicily and Sicilians (La Sicilia e li siciliani)

Much of what follows is still in the original Italian or Sicilian. Many titles might stay the same, others will definitely need to be anglicised. Many blue links have been left because they all need to be looked at, be they stubs or not. As articles begin to look complete, they can be deleted from this project page.

[edit] Sicilian history (La storia dâ Sicilia)

[edit] Cites, towns and settlements from antiquity (Li citati e paiseddi antichi)

[edit] Main epochs (L'èbbichi principali)

These epochs quite possibly merit their own separate articles, all linked to a good summary of Sicily's history: History of Sicily:

  • History of Sicily (prehistory).
  • History of Sicily (early Greek period).
  • History of Sicily (Roman period).
  • History of Sicily (Gothic period).
  • History of Sicily (Byzantine period).
  • History of Sicily (Arab period).
  • History of Sicily (Norman period).
  • History of Sicily (Swabian period). (brief Angevin period could be covered in the Sicilian Vespers and as the introduction to the Aragonese period).
  • History of Sicily (Aragonese period).
  • History of Sicily (Spanish period).
  • History of Sicily (Bourbon period). (Two Sicilies and period of the Risorgimento and immediate aftermath)
  • History of Sicily (modern period). (from late 1800s, through armed struggle for indpendence after World War II, the granting of regional autonomy, to the present day).
