Things To Do
  1. Continue upkeep of University Portal
  2. Work on articles that need cleanup. A randomized short list is here
  3. Create a page for each and every university and college and add {{infobox University}} for it. See the missing list for those institutions still awaiting articles.
  4. Place {{WikiProject Universities}} on every related talk page.
  5. Ensure Featured articles are consistent with the article guidelines.

WikiProject Universities aims to improve coverage of universities and colleges.

Our goals include:

  • Standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles
  • Represent the interests of colleges and universities in and ensure their articles' compliance with Wikipedia-wide policies
  • Improve Wikipedia's coverage of university articles, propelling them to featured article status
  • Serve as the central resource for all discussions and information related to colleges and universities on Wikipedia
