Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organize information in articles related to '''Bodybuilding'''.  This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.  If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] there.

==Structure==
TBD
<!--
Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject.  Include various categories applicable to the topic.
-->

==Hierarchy definition==
No classification of this project has been defined.

==Goals==
The goals of this project are twofold.
:1. To greatly improve the ''quality'' of the existing wikipedia articles pertaining to [[bodybuilding]] (especially the bio pages of notable ''bodybuilders''). As it stands these articles for the most part need attention as many are:
::a) unreferenced
::b) barely or completely uncategorized (for example I recently created the category [[:Category:Professional bodybuilders]] as a sub category of [[:Category:Bodybuilders]]. Not only that but I personally have created a tonne of [[:Category:Bodybuilders]] subcategories according to the subject's geographical location. 
::c) pages which contain little information are not stubbed
::d) almost every bio page has no image, or, even worse uses a copyrighted image from a magazine which is not being used correctly under the [[fair use]] doctrine. These images need to be replaced  with a legitimate image (ideally), or removed at this time
::e) Misformatted. The articles do not follow the guidelines of [[WP:MOS]]. Small things like '''External Links''' instead of '''External links''', lists of titles or shows that use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> code to insert each line instead of a '''*''' bullet point format. 
::f) Ensure consistency. Currently the bio pages use completely different styles and terminology. Some will say '''Bodybuilding titles''', others '''Titles won''', '''Bodybuilding career''' etc. One template needs to be decided on and used throughout.
::g) Complete the [[List of professional bodybuilders]] - currently [[:Category:Professional bodybuilders]] is a good place to start as I tried to be thorough when categorising this from the many geographical bodybuilder categories. 
::h) Finally we need to build them so they are [[Wikipedia:Featured article]] level. Our goal should to promptly built at least one bodybuilding article to featured article status (and no the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold]] article does not count!)
:2. To complete the [[:Category:Bodybuilding]] by writing '''new articles''' so the category encompasses all notable subjects within the bodybuilding realm. Scores of [[IFBB]] pro articles are missing, too many [[NPC Nationals|Red links]] when listing notable shows, and even the articles regarding notable supplements and/or supplement companies. As Jimbo says ''Let's build this encyclopedia'' - so let's '''[[Wikipedia:Be Bold|Be bold]]''' and do it!

==Projects==
# ?
<!--This section is for organizing group projects-->

==Tasks==
# '''Reference''' concerned about number of completely unreferenced articles
# '''Categorize''' - Bio articles are especially bad (or at least ''were'' - awesome work fixing  the categorization of the  [[:Category:Professional bodybuilders]] articles (I went to do this today and it was done!) - also we should ensure the geographic bodybuilder subcategories are listed
# '''Stubbing''' - {{tl|Bodybuilding-stub}} is now official - so pages which contain little information need this added
# '''Copyrighted images''' almost every bio page has no image, or, even worse uses a copyrighted image from a magazine which is not being used correctly under the [[fair use]] doctrine. These images need to be replaced  with a legitimate image (ideally), or removed at this time
# '''Formatting''' The articles do not follow the guidelines of [[WP:MOS]]. Small things like '''External Links''' instead of '''External links''', lists of titles or shows that use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> code to insert each line instead of a '''*''' bullet point format. 
# '''Consistency''' Currently the bio pages use completely different styles and terminology. Some will say '''Bodybuilding titles''', others '''Titles won''', '''Bodybuilding career''' etc. One  template needs to be decided on and used throughout.
# '''Complete [[List of professional bodybuilders]]''' - currently [[:Category:Professional bodybuilders]] is a good place to start as I tried to be thorough when categorising this from the many geographical bodybuilder categories. 
# '''Expand''' We need to build articles so they are [[Wikipedia:Featured article]] level. Our goal should to promptly built at least one bodybuilding article to featured article status (and no the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold]] article does not count!)
# '''New articles''' To complete the [[:Category:Bodybuilding]] by writing '''new articles''' so the category encompasses all notable subjects within the bodybuilding realm. Scores of [[IFBB]] pro and amateur articles are missing, too many [[NPC Nationals|Red links]] when listing notable shows, and even the articles regarding notable supplements and/or supplement companies.

==Adopt an article==
:'''''For an extensive list of articles pertaining to WP:WB see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bodybuilding/Articles]]'''''
Similar to the [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|Collaboration of the week]], but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) 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.
