Articles in need of improvement
[edit]A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
Articles tagged with various issues are listed in a sortable list at here (the on-wiki listing is no longer actively maintained). As of December 2010, 12570 or 18.7% were marked for cleanup. As of September 2012 that grew to 14790 or 20.3 % of (the also growing) total.
A frequently updated list of unreferenced biographies of living persons is here. As of September 2011, we have eliminated the backlog there, and as of September 2012, the list usually has between 0 to 2 articles. Adding referencing to living person bios is one of Wikipedia's priorities.

Deletions
[edit]While deletions should also be available in the article news feed, you can also check and watchlist this dedicated page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland
New articles announcements
[edit]Newly created Poland-related articles are announced here (that page can be watchlisted). Click here for archival entries
Templates
[edit]- Template:WikiProject Poland (short: {{WPPOLAND}}, full syntax: {{WikiProject Poland|class=|importance=}}) is our assessment template. Please add it to the talk pages of all Poland-related articles, it is a key template that enables the article to be included in our article news, popularity ranking, project watchlist deletion discussion notifications the nifty quality and importance tables we have at the top of this page and other tools.
- Use {{lang}} for Polish words or phrases, thus: {{lang|pl|Gmina Świnice Warckie}} will produce Gmina Świnice Warckie
- The {{IPAc-pl}} template can be used to produce representations of Polish pronunciation.
- When marking sources in Polish language, use {{In lang}} to produce (in Polish)
- There is also a Portal:Poland/Welcome message box that can be used to notify new users about this noticeboard and our related projects. Just slap {{subst:Portal:Poland/Welcome}}--~~~~ on their usertalkpage – it has its own heading.
- use {{Wikiquotelang}} to link Polish language wikiquote pages (often found on Polish Wikipedia articles). The full syntax is {{wikiquotelang|pl|article name|article name}} (yes, it seems you need to use the article's name twice), for example {{wikiquotelang|pl|Stanisław Koniecpolski|Stanisław Koniecpolski}}
- use {{Wikisourcelang}} just like Wikiquotelang above but for linking to Polish Wikisource articles.
- Various other, less used templates are listed at Category:Poland templates

Awards
[edit]In the spirit of kindness and recognition we strongly encourage the use of the following barnstars, awards and assorted goodies:
Image | What to type | Description | Ribbon |
---|---|---|---|
{{subst:The Barnstar of National Merit|message ~~~~}} | The Barnstar of National Merit
The Barnstar of National Merit may be awarded to an editor who contributes significantly to expand or improve Wikipedia's coverage of any given country. |
||
{{subst:The Poland Barnstar|message ~~~~}} | The Poland Barnstar is an award placed on another user's talk page for improving Poland-related articles. | ||
{{subst:The Polish Barnstar of National Merit|message ~~~~}} | The Polish Barnstar of National Merit, 1st Class
The Polish Barnstar of National Merit, 1st Class is a specific variant of the Barnstar of National Merit, which may be awarded to editors who contributed significantly to expanding or improving Wikipedia's coverage of Poland. The 1st Class award should be used for very significant contributions (for example, getting an article to FA level). In most cases, the 2nd Class (below) will be sufficient. As a rule of thumb, somebody should have already received a 2nd Class award before being eligible for the 1st Class. |
||
{{subst:The Polish Barnstar of National Merit 2|message ~~~~}} | The Polish Barnstar of National Merit, 2nd Class
The Polish Barnstar of National Merit, 2nd Class is a specific variant of Barnstar of National Merit, which may be awarded to editors who contributed significantly to expand or improve Wikipedia's coverage of Poland. The 2nd Class can be given for various reasons, but if the contributor has done something really significant, and has already received this award, consider giving him or her a 1st Class award (above). |
||
{{subst:The Rosetta Barnstar|message ~~~~}} | The Rosetta Barnstar
The Rosetta Barnstar may be given to any editor who exhibits outstanding translation efforts on Wikipedia. In the case of the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board, of course, translations to or from the Polish language are most relevant. |
-
For contributions related to Polish history during WWII
-
For contributions related to interwar Polish history
See also pl:Wikipedia:Odznaczenia Wikipedii for other awards designed on Polish Wikipedia!
We also encourage the use of other awards for non-Poland specific contributions to Wikipedia!
