sure everyone would agree Wikipedia's platform for sharing knowledge is
a highly Pirate compatible goal. I've encountered a few of my
colleagues on Wikipedia, but never encountered any Wikipedia based
project to track and improve articles within the sphere of Pirate
Politics. Indeed, what is Pirate Politics, aside form the various
overlapping issues individual parties campaign on?<br>
<br></div>Please take a look at wikipedia's policy on activism:<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Activist" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Activist</a><br></div>TL;DR - disclose that you have a pirate affiliation so you're not perceived to be sneaking around<br>
<br></div>Things I would hope to run within the project:<br></div>* Improving and creating pages on notable Pirate Party officials and people of interest<br></div>* Translating / translation requests of notable Pirate articles across different languages<br>
</div>* Using country-specific Pirate articles (e.g. legal, technical)
as temples in other country-specific articles to share expertise across
borders<br><br></div>I've not set up a Wiki project before, so I've created just a small project page to get started:<br>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pirate_Politics" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pirate_Politics</a><br></div>Like with all wiki projects, the idea is that you<br>
* Tag articles of interest<br>
</div>* Rate them in terms of importance and quality<br></div>* Get editing!<br><br>The inter country and translation work would need appropriate tags.<br><br></div>If
interested people could add themselves to the member list, expand the
page or simply add comments to this email or the project talk page it'd
be appreciated!</div>
