Wikipedia:WikiProject Poetry

Scope and objectives[edit]

The primary objective of WikiProject Poetry is to provide comprehensive, accurate, reliable information, and other resources on poetry, poets, and various subjects related to poetry. These topics include biographies of individual poets, works of poetry, national poetries, poetry movements and groups, poetic genres, forms, styles, and techniques. We accomplish this objective through the creation and improvement of articles, lists, and other resources that aim to provide Wikipedia's reader with well-written, adequately sourced historical information, analysis, and interpretation of topics relevant to poetry and the appreciation of poetry.

Articles on these subjects should be categorized in the Category:Poetry or one of its subcategories, and the WikiProject banner placed on the article's talk page.

Tasks[edit]

• Poetry assessment drive: Please visit Category:Unknown-importance Poetry articles and assess as either High, Mid, or Low importance.
• Ongoing activity: Add the WP:Poetry template to the talk pages of articles related to poets, poems, and poetry collections to affiliate them with this project.
• Continue to improve Outline of poetry, which provides a coverage of the entire subject. It in turn is part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems. Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.
  • While analyzing the outline, please ask yourself (and fix the outline as needed) if (1) the outline has anything missing; (2) whether the structure of the outline (sections and indents) is representative of the subject; and (3) whether the outline helps a reader understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible.
• Work on the Blake task force articles or Canterbury Tales task force

Please nominate current activities on the talk page.
