Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Texas at Austin

[edit] 

Welcome to the WikiProject page for The University of Texas at Austin. This page is designed to streamline collaborative efforts to improve the quality of UT Austin-related articles. We are currently overhauling this project and its accompanying project page (as you may notice below), but that just means it's a great time for you to get involved! Feel free to contact any project members with any questions or to drop us a note on this project's talk page. Hook' em Horns!

[edit] 

This section attempts to focus members on one article in order to give it a concentrated improvement effort.

The current WP:UT collaboration for the period ending August 31, 2009 is: University of Texas at Austin#History Our September 2009 project is TBD. If you would like to nominate an article for a future project please add a nomination under that month's section or to see what articles we've already collaborated on, please visit the Collaboration talk page.

Never-ending things to do:

1. Enlist (invite) more members
2. Help GAs reach FA status
3. Expand WP:UT stub articles
4. Help maintain Portal:University of Texas at Austin and bring it to Featured portal status

Specific things that need attention:

1. First thing's first: the flagship article (UT Austin) needs to get back to GA status
2. Help transfer names into tables on List of University of Texas at Austin alumni and List of University of Texas at Austin faculty

New Articles:

1. Create a main article about the Charles Whitman tower shooting.
   1. Discussion found here
2. Create a main article about the main campus (Ex.: Campus of Texas A&M University).
   1. When started, replace "See also: List of University of Texas at Austin buildings" at the beginning of the Campus section and add it to a section highlighting notable buildings on the future dedicated campus page.
3. Try to incorporate links in the See also section into article body.
