Goals

[edit source]

To have Libya become a featured article.
To improve and expand all cities of Libya.
To improve and expand Districts of Libya.
To increase images available for Libya pages.

Improve articles

[edit source]

We need to improve Libyan articles specifically Libya but right now there seems to be an absence ofreferences and footnotes. If we do this the Article Libya will be a featured article again. This is the first to do on the list. AhmedTMM (talk) 23:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Expand stubs

[edit source]

This wiki project has to many stubs with no info. We should work on expanding all the stubs in wiki project Libya as a secondary goal after the first on the to-do list. AhmedTMM (talk) 23:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
