[WikiEN-l] collective or collaborative areas of Wikipedia

[AGK]

On WikiProjects: The performance of collaboration projects varies almost as
drastically as does the quality of Wikipedia's articles. At some ends, we
have some quite impressive organisations - such as WProj Military history -
that are very hands-on. At others, there are some quite useless projects
that seem to exist simply for the sake of existing. There are still others -
such as WProj Law - that aren't very 'collaborative' but do provide some
useful tools and resources for improving the parallell subject area: for
example, in my experience, WProj Law has little editor colloboration but, by
virtue of its in-depth indexes of law articles, is useful for identifying
articles that need improvement.
