Departments
Assessment
The Assessment department will focus on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Sri Lanka related articles. This will aid us in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
Collaboration
The Sri Lankan Collaboration seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every fortnight, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it.
Any articles dealing with some aspect of Sri Lanka are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles and help improve it.
Outreach
The outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants. We aim to invite new Wikipedia contributors who recently edited a Sri Lanka related article to join the project.
Photography
The photography department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs and images for use in Sri Lanka articles. These may be self-taken or obtained with permission from online sources.
Requested articles
Missing settlements -Please help create lists of missing settlements in Sri Lanka. By generating pages of missing articles in due course the project can work towards starting articles on them.
