Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to contract bridge. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

Policies and practices
editGeneral
edit- Wikipedia policies and guidelines apply; ensure you are familiar with:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia — a quick rundown of the five key rules you need to start editing.
- Simplified ruleset — 12 rules of thumb to help you avoid problems.
- List of policies — a comprehensive list of the 42 official policies.
- Unless explicitly addressed in the Wiki Bridge Writing Manual of Style, the Wikipedia:Manual of Style governs matters of spelling and grammar. Use a formal style with a consistent theme for text, diagrams, tables and other bridge notations using the available templates. Do not italicize or bold words unless emphasis is explicitly intended.
- The reading audience is the general public and not just bridge experts or enthusiasts. Each contract bridge related article stands on its own merits and should not depend upon or assume any prior knowledge of other articles nor an advanced knowledge of contract bridge or bridge in general.
- All descriptions, symbols and notations are based upon use of the standard fifty-two card French deck.

- Article categories
The categorization of contract bridge articles should be hierarchical and entries as mutually exclusive as possible. Red-link categories should be created when there are sufficient member articles or subcategories created; until then, the article should remain in the parent category.
The table at right represents the proposed general scheme for the categories to be used internally for purpose of managing the contract bridge articles under this project. The titles in bold represent the comparable category names to be used externally for the readers, e.g. in the index of contract bridge articles. Accordingly, the primary categories should remain stable.
- Administrative categories
- Category:Contract bridge stubs contains all stub articles, regardless of other categorization
- Category:Contract bridge templates contains all bridge related templates
- Project pages
- See also: List of project subpages
Quality and importance assessments
editQuality and importance parameter capability has been added to the {{WPCB}} banner but most articles have not been assessed in either parameter.
Consistent application of the grading criteria requires further support by more detailed descriptions of each classification in the context of 'contract bridge'.

editNotes
edit- ^ a b c d e Updated 2014-10-28. The ACBL title "Life Master" was inaugurated by the American Bridge League in 1936 with a class of ten players ranked by their achievements in national competition (see David Burnstine#Notes). One of the 10 has no page here (Sam Fry #10); four pages were created October 2014 with little prose (Becker #6, Frey #8, Lightner #7, Von Zedtwitz #4).
- ^ a b c d e f g h Updated 2014-10-28. Women Stars at the WBF lists 18 stars with links to on-site biographies for 13 of them (all 8 past stars and 5 from a recent list of Top 10 grand masters). One of the 13 has no page here (Anna Valenti); seven pages were created October 2014 with little prose (Auken, Culbertson, Deas, Hawes, Kennedy, Meyers, Sanborn). The others have entries that may underuse or overlook their WBF biographies: *Fritzi Gordon, *Rixi Markus, *Helen Sobel Smith, *Dorothy Hayden Truscott; *Nicola Smith.
