Template:Short description Template:WikiProject status
We are a Wiki Project Group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Kayaking, Kayaks, Canoeing, and Canoes.
(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).
- Increase membership of editors interested in kayaking and canoeing in all its forms.
- Improve the accuracy and quality of all kayaking and canoeing articles.
- Develop the collection of kayaking and canoeing images on Wikimedia Commons.
- Improve and create kayaking and canoeing related templates.
The Canoeing and Kayaking WikiProject concerns the creation, development, and organisation of all Wikipedia's articles about kayaks, kayaking, canoes and canoeing (including biographies) of famous kayakers and canoeists. This means all articles that could somehow relate to kayaking, or canoeing, including but not limited to:
- Equipment
- Disciplines
- Boats
- Notable kayakers or canoeists
- The new Outline of canoeing and kayaking has now been started – have a look and see what you can add
- Suggestion of an 'interview' about the Wikiproject has been posted on the Signpost Newsroom WikiProject desk – watch this space for updates
