The Cuba WikiProject is a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Cuba.

Some goals of the project
  • To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe all aspects of Cuba.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Cuba by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
  • To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to Cuba in Wikipedia.
  • To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Cuba and Cubans.
  • To standardize articles on Cuba or Cuban subjects. They should have similar layouts, formatting, etc.
  • To present relevant information that takes into account the voices of women, the poor, the indigenous, and all other aspects of Cuban society, in tandem with the ongoing goals of Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias.
  • To standardize the use of Spanish-language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.
Our scope
The project generally considers any article related to Cuba to be a valid topic.

Conventions[edit]

  • In biographies, identify the subject as either a Cuban, Cuban-American, or of Cuban ancestry, depending on how that person identifies him/herself.
  • Accentuation: In biographies, use accents if the subject him/herself used them in when spelling their name.
  • Spanish words/orgs with Spanish names: Should be italicized and followed by an English translation and approximation the first time they appear in an article.
