Description[edit]

WikiProject to improve objective Ukrainian history on Wikipedia over several languages.

An excerpt from the draft project page (User:Robertsilen/sandbox/Projekt_Kateryna): "We argue that Wikipedia lacks an objective picture of the Ukrainian nation. Descriptions in most languages are distorted by the long-term effects of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. This project's focus is on Ukrainian history, culture and nation: textual contents, maps, pictures, other illustrations, links, categories, navigation bars, and other Wikipedia concepts."

The project has two main steps: 1) to identify articles with language versions that are lacking (have bias, content out of context, outdated sources, written in non-NPOV), and 2) to amend the articles according to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (NPOV).

Our methods include amongst others using mass analysis, activating subject experts without prior Wikipedia experience to contribute, and sharing improvement insights over languages so as not to improve articles only in one language.

Our theme and work method deviates from other general already existing projects: this is a multilingual project within a huge theme, but solving a specific type of content challenge.

Discussion[edit]

Nope. This is misnamed in multiple ways, and would be a PoV-based intentional WP:PROJECTFORK away from WP:WikiProject Ukraine. If this project were created, WP:MFD would certainly immediately merge and redirect to WikiProjet Ukraine. We just don't do this.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  11:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
