Welcome to the Swimming WikiProject! This WikiProject is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to swimming and other aquatic sports.

Our goals
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of swimming and water sports.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of swimming and water sports by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to swimming and water sports in Wikipedia.
Our scope
The project generally considers any article related to swimming, water polo, synchronized swimming, open water swimming, long course swimming, short course swimming, diving, and participants, coaches and governing organizations of the above mentioned to be a valid topic.
Our structure
Internally, the project has developed several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:
  • Departments, which coordinate work on certain specialized tasks, such as peer review or project-wide collaboration.

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's swimming and water sports articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WP Swimming}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

[edit] Automation

The automation department uses various automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be extremely tedious to do manually; it collects requests for tasks, discusses whether they are suitable for automation, and attempts to match them with bot operators or users of semi-automated tools for implementation. All project members are invited to request tasks and to comment on the suitability of outstanding requests.

[edit] Peer review

The peer review department conducts peer reviews of swimming and water sports related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.
