Creating Nonpartisan Election Pages for U.S. Elections
- Goals
- Create new guidelines for coverage of US elections that conform with US regulations that apply to non-profit organizations such as The Wikipedia Foundation.
- Get the new guidelines approved by Wikipedia management and legal staff to aid in their enforcement.
- Recruit editors to fix targeted pages that do not fit the guidelines.
- Scope
- The project covers all articles about elections in the United States. Since the regulations driving this project only pertain to information about U.S. elections, elections in other countries are not affected at this time.
