Welcome to the '''Organizations WikiProject''' on the English Wikipedia!  We are a [[WikiPedia:WikiProject|group]] dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of local, regional and international [[organizations]].  If you would like to join us, please feel free to [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations/Members|action=edit}} add your name] to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations/Members|list of project members]]!

==Scope and goals==
===Goals===
:* To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe organizations.

:* To improve Wikipedia's coverage of organizations by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.

:* To develop and maintain a featured quality portal, with an intuitive system of navigation templates, as well as various infoboxes and an integrated assessment process for articles.

:* To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to organizations in Wikipedia.

===Scope===
: The project generally considers articles about ''any'' incorporated, registered, or otherwise legitimate [[organization]] to be within its scope.  The term "[[organization]]" is applicable to any active or historical [[association]], [[society]], [[union]], [[foundation]], [[non-governmental federation|federation]] or [[corporation]] as well as any related ''and'' [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] [[Convention (meeting)|conference]]s or [[event]]s. That said, companies are already covered by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies|WikiProject Companies]], so the emphasis is more on other types of organization.

==To do==

; Structure
: Modelled after [[WP:WARS]], internally the project will develop several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:
:* [[#Coordinators|Coordinators]], who are responsible for maintaining the administrative aspects of the project.
:* [[#Departments|Departments]], which coordinate work on certain specialized tasks, such as the (now-deleted) Portal:Organizations, article assessment, peer review, or other project-wide collaboration.
:* [[#Task forces|Task forces]], which are more informal groups for collaboration on specific areas of organizations, such as particular locations, regions, or types.

== Project organization ==
===Guidelines===
Relevant guidelines for developing articles on organizations: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations/Guidelines|WP:ORGS/Guidelines]]

=== Bulletin board ===
The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations/Bulletin Board|Bulletin Board]] is for announcement of issues, ongoing disputes or *FDs, problems, proposed new projects, etc. 

=== Departments and task forces ===
Task force pages should be set up to handle issues with the organizations categories structure, infoboxes, notability standards, and other issues. For now, these are lists of tasks that need to be done that could eventually become a taskforce.
