Policies and practices

General

  • Wikipedia policies and guidelines apply; ensure you are familiar with:
  • Unless explicitly addressed in the Wiki Bridge Writing Manual of Style, the Wikipedia:Manual of Style governs matters of spelling and grammar. Use a formal style with a consistent theme for text, diagrams, tables and other bridge notations using the available templates. Do not italicize or bold words unless emphasis is explicitly intended.
  • The reading audience is the general public and not just bridge experts or enthusiasts. Each contract bridge related article stands on its own merits and should not depend upon or assume any prior knowledge of other articles nor an advanced knowledge of contract bridge or bridge in general.
  • All descriptions, symbols and notations are based upon use of the standard fifty-two card French deck.

Supplementary Manual of Style for Bridge Articles

See Manual of Style - Main Body

Article categorization

Article categories

The categorization of contract bridge articles should be hierarchical and entries as mutually exclusive as possible. Red-link categories should be created when there are sufficient member articles or subcategories created; until then, the article should remain in the parent category.

The table at right represents the proposed general scheme for the categories to be used internally for purpose of managing the contract bridge articles under this project. The titles in bold represent the comparable category names to be used externally for the readers, e.g. in the index of contract bridge articles. Accordingly, the primary categories should remain stable.

Administrative categories
  1. Category:Contract bridge stubs contains all stub articles, regardless of other categorization
  2. Category:Contract bridge templates contains all bridge related templates

Quality and importance assessments

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge/Assessment

Quality and importance parameter capability has been added to the Template:Tl banner but most articles have not been assessed in either parameter.

Consistent application of the grading criteria requires further support by more detailed descriptions of each classification in the context of 'contract bridge'.

Tasks to do

Policies requiring attention

In addition to all normal Wiki policy, these will guide how participants will govern themselves on this project.

Articles requiring attention

Priority Articles New Article Nominations Newest Articles Created or
Substantially Improved
The following are key articles nominated for improvement to featured article status. Another perspective may be gained by looking at the project's quality by importance matrix and intuitively sensing that the more important an article is the higher quality class it should likely be in. Click on a number in the matrix to see those articles. The following are nominations for new articles. No process or prior approval is required at the project level. Please add your considered opinion and nominate important new articles, and better yet, start to create the article yourself! Please list your new contract bridge-related articles here, newest at the top; articles which have recently received substantial improvement should also be added. This list may not represent all such articles because some editors may not have added his or her's to the list. The list serves to notify project participants of an opportunity to review and potentially improve and/or reassess the quality of these articles. See also the Project Watchlist.

Stubs requiring attention

See Category:Contract bridge stubs (0 articles) for the list of bridge articles designated as stubs. If they are, improve them and remove the tag; if they are not deemed a stub, remove the stub. Stub tags should be removed in accordance with Wiki policy.
