This project was forum and dedicated to improve topics and articles related to Cartoon Network. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in this field. Generally, we think of it as being the oversight for our specific subject matter and to be the layer between routine editing and the administrative layers of Wikipedia.

If you would like to help, please add your name to the membership list. WikiProject Cartoon Network is focused on improving and expanding the coverage of Cartoon Network, its past, present and future, across Wikipedia, and we would be delighted to welcome you.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

• The project covers all Cartoon Network related-articles, including the main network in the United States and various other networks internationally, such as their original animated series (including Cartoon Cartoons), productions made by Cartoon Network Studios, the Adult Swim programing block (under the Adult Swim task force), and related media. However, we acknowledge and are grateful for the work of other projects in the field, and will reserve the majority of our attention to that content which does not fall within the scope of other active projects.
• It does not cover off-network shows, anime series and programming outside Cartoon Network (except Powerpuff Girls Z).
• It does not extend to programming which is purchased by Cartoon Network to air but has no involvement from them or to programming made by Warner Bros. Animation.
• It has a strict policy against trivia, "...in popular culture" and otherwise crufty issues, either as sections or whole articles.

Goals

1. Identify and categorize existing Cartoon Network-related articles on Wikipedia.
2. Develop standards for what is required for Cartoon Network-related articles for consistency and best practices.
3. Improve the quality of existing Cartoon Network articles, including Adult Swim articles.
4. Ensure articles are in line with Wikipedia's minimum standards and policies, including but not limited to: WP:N, WP:NOR, WP:OWN, WP:V and WP:NPOV.
5. Identify and develop standardized tables, tags and categorization schemes for articles.
6. Identify and create articles that are not yet included in Wikipedia.
7. Bring every Cartoon Network-related article up to GA, FA and/or FL status.
8. Maintain or improve articles that come under our jurisdiction.
9. Reduce trivial information, speculation, and anything else that violates WP:WAF, WP:N, WP:PLOT, WP:V, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:MOSTV, WP:FICT, and WP:TRIV.
10. Verify and validate content
11. Prevent fancruft
12. Create, improve, and maintain Wikipedia's coverage of Cartoon Network articles
13. Maintain all Cartoon Network-related articles to at least featured quality standard
14. Maintain category lists

Parentage

Seeing as Cartoon Network covers multiple branches of entertainment, the WikiProject is therefore a sub-project of numerous collaborations:

• WikiProject Entertainment

• WikiProject Animation
• WikiProject Television

• WikiProject Cartoon Network

Task forces

The Cartoon Network WikiProject currently has four task forces.

• Adult Swim task force
• Aqua Teen Hunger Force task force
• Ben 10 task force
• Ed, Edd n Eddy task force

Guidelines

This guideline tries to help editors improve the quality of Wikipedia's articles within scope of Cartoon Network related articles. For Wikipedia guidelines regarding how to write about fiction in general, see Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). These are only guidelines and may be altered depending on current Wikipolicies and/or project participant consensus. Remember, these are guidelines, not policies. Most of these guidelines are accepted as standard practice across Wikipedia. All the standard Wikipedia policies still apply.

• No fancruft in articles
• Make sure more than one editor is working on any one article or collection of related articles.
• Do not speculate any rumors. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.
• Revert war (adherence to the One Revert Rule is encouraged, see WP:WAR for details.)
• No original research
• Neutral point of view
