ܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܥܸܠܘܿܟܼܘܼܢ ܟܘܼܠܘܿܟܼܘܢ, ܫܠܳܡܳܐ ܐܰܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܟܘܠܝܟܘܢ, and welcome to WikiProject Assyria, a WikiProject designed to expand, cleanup and wikify, better organize, and neutralize the point of view on articles related to Assyria and the Assyrian people (including those who identify as Chaldean or Syriac-Aramean). This page and its subpages contain the suggestions of Wikipedians who are interested in or have made substantial contributions to articles related to Assyrians; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and improve the efforts of other Wikipedians.
If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page. For further information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices. Anyone is free to edit any of the pages listed here, including this page as well. For example, if you see a new Assyrian-related article, then add it to the "New Articles Notifications" on this page.
WikiProject Assyria was introduced on October 29, 2006 in order to collaborate with others in a more organized and effective way on articles pertaining to topics related to the Assyrian ethnic group, composed of people who identify as Assyrian, Chaldean, Syriac, and Aramean.
For early Assyrian history, WikiProject Assyria is a daughter project of WikiProject Ancient Near East. For topics regarding Syriac Christianity and the Christian beliefs of Assyrians, it is a daughter project of WikiProject Syriac Christianity.
The members page lists all the currently active members of WikiProject Assyria. If you would like to join and help make articles regularly, please feel free to add your name on this page. In addition to the list of active members, there is also a list of inactive/former members as well as identification markers (Userboxes) for being a member of the WikiProject.
The list of inactive members is updated on a regular basis and adds those who haven't edited articles in at least a year.
In this section, new articles related to Assyrians will be listed. The reason they are listed here is that so others can check them and try to expand or clean the article. A robot automatically lists the new Assyrian-related pages:
This list was generated from these rules. Questions and feedback are always welcome! The search is being run daily with the most recent ~14 days of results. Note: Some articles may not be relevant to this project.
All people, places and historical/cultural names found on this list relate to Assyrian people, but currently do not have a Wikipedia article. You can help by making one.
The following list is a set of pages that need to be greatly corrected or neutralized in terms of point of view. Please feel free to adopt a page. This list will be updated as more articles are found needing more information on a variety of topics.
The following is a list of pages that have been featured in Wikipedia's front page under the "Did you know" section. To nominate other Assyrian related pages for a "Did you know" feature, please see Template talk:Did you know.
