To do list
[edit ]icon To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Disability: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2024年09月05日
- Article requests : Improve the Category:Disability - The tree could do with a good pruning. There are articles in it that do not seem to belong there, and even some subcategories are suspect. Request: List of Sensory gardens -> Ex: Riverside Nature Center
- Assess : There is an urgent need to reboot the headline article Disability at this time. Please see its talk page for details, and keep in mind it is a very high-priority item that should have as much input from as many people as possible.
- Expand : The article on Physically integrated dance is desperately in need of expansion if it is destined to remain as its own article distinct from disability in the arts. Categories: Category:Braille trail site -> Ex: Watertown Riverfront (MA)
- Maintain : The Sidebar and Navbox.
- Merge : There have been many merges over the past few months as part of this WikiProject's improvement drive; some have been controversial, others have not, and still others have remained in limbo. The in-limbo merges should all be either completed, retired, or further discussed.
- NPOV : POV questions mostly center around disability studies, ableism and related articles; feel free to take a look and rearrange language to be more NPOV if you can.
- Update : Many of the major disability topics dealing with specific organisations, such as the Society for Disability Studies and Disabled Peoples International, could use some updating to reflect specific current activity, as could many of the articles dealing with the social movements of disability in the arts and disability in the media. Update the PNG to become an accessible PDF poster in A4 & 8.5x11 formats. Also include short URL for QR code. Many high-priority pages also have improvement tags: Ontario Disability Support Program, Ticket to Work, Services and supports for people with disabilities
- Verify : There are many articles needing citations for verification; feel free to sift through and add sources where you can.
- Wikify : At this point there are significantly fewer orphaned and/or not-properly-wikified Disability articles than there used to be, but there are still some.
- Other :
- Review the recently completed style guide. (July 2014)
