Wikipedia:WikiProject Estonian towns

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Estonian towns. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

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

About the project

Scope

The goal of the project is to create comprehensive articles on Estonian towns. The project also aims to standardise section contents and provide ideas as to what can be added to each section.

If you have any knowledge of any Estonian town, please help out the project by adding content to the article. You can also contribute photos to the article, if you have been to the city or reside there.

Usage

An image should be related to the text alongside. The images should be preferably right-aligned as it is easier to read the text. Size for use on the page can vary from 200px to 300px, but try and stick to one size for all images. Avoid overuse of images, and overlapping of images into the next section. Always test at 800x600, the standard web resolution.
