{{Notice|The WikiWorld cartoon series is no longer in production, with the last cartoon dating from June 2008.}}

Welcome to '''WikiProject WikiWorld''', a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|collaboration area and group of editors]] dedicated to improving visibility of the "WikiWorld" cartoon series on Wikipedia.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide|Guide to WikiProjects]]).

; Goals
[[User:Greg Williams|Greg Williams]] is a designer and illustrator for ''[[:en:The Tampa Tribune|The Tampa Tribune]]'' in Tampa, Florida. In cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation, he is producing comic strips based on various articles and releasing them under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 License for use on Wikipedia. This WikiProject is intended to coordinate the process of organising the comics.

; Scope
The WikiWorld comic summarizes and highlights some of the fascinating but little-known articles in Wikipedia's vast archives. This ongoing series of comics will present visual interpretations on a wide range of topics: obscure concepts and offbeat moments in history and culture, unexpected personality profiles and unlikely slices of everyday life - as well as "mainstream" subjects with humorous potential.


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

# {{User|Greg Williams}}, creator of the WikiWorld comic strip.
# {{User|Zanimum}}, attempting to syndicate them.
# and {{User|Bastique}}, as the [[Leave it to Beaver|Beaver]]
# {{User|SMcCandlish}}, rebuilt the {{tl|WikiWorld}} template, and undid rampant template misuse (WikiProject banners claiming that the articles fall within the assessment purview of this project, putting WikiProject templates on article pages instead of their talk pages, etc.)
# {{user|Lar}} Drawn in to the project by the extra work caused by some potentially not well thought out actions of other participants, may stick around, we'll see.
# {{user|ACBest}} Will do anything <s>un</s>necessary. Stupid spell checker...
# {{user|Once in a Blue Moon}} organizing this page's images into four-month groups
