[edit] 

WikiProject Systems is a WikiProject which aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of theory and practice of Systems and Systems science in Science and Society. As of April 2007, it seems that the articles around Systems and the Systems sciences were not especially well organized on Wikipedia by comparison with most other specialized scientific disciplines.

This project is an initiative to organize, thematize, personalize and actualize these information on Wikipedia. This project wants to offer a place to work together to initiate and coordinate these efforts.

You can help this project evolve with ideas, comments and suggestion. ().

19 Dec - Béla H. Bánáthy rewarded good article

The Béla H. Bánáthy article created by Btphelps and others has been listed as one of the Social sciences and society good articles under the good article criteria.

24 Sept - Béla H. Bánáthy on Did you know

On 24 Sept 2008, the Did you know? template on the main page was updated with a fact from the new article on Systems art created by Btphelps and others. It stated:

Did you know ... that systems scientist Béla H. Bánáthy conceived of a conference where all attendees present papers, and the conference itself is an in-depth, extended conversation between all participants?

16 Sept - Mathematical diagram on Did you know

On 16 Sept 2008, the Did you know? template on the main page was updated with a fact from the new article on mathematical diagram created by Marcel Douwe Dekker. It stated:

Did you know ... that despite the long-established use of mathematical diagrams (Voronoi diagram pictured), going back to the Ancient Greeks, the scientific study of them has only recently begun?

15 Sept - Wikipedia 0.7 for Systems

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

4 Aug - WikiProject Systems/Cleanup listing

Currently, 523 articles are assigned to this project, of which 156, or 29.8%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? User:B. Wolterding has offered to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems/Cleanup listing

1 July - Jacques Bertin on Did you know

On I July 2008, the Did you know? template on the main page was updated with a fact from the new article on Jacques Bertin created by Marcel Douwe Dekker. It stated:

Did you know ... that French cartographer Jacques Bertin was the first to provide a theoretical foundation to Information Visualization?

7 April - Systems science on YouTube

On YouTube an initiative has been started by Mdd to collect movies on YouTube about systems, systems science and systems scientists. See here.

15 March - Wikipedia article traffic statistics

A new tool the Wikipedia article traffic statistics seems to give an interesting view on the popularity of the systems articles. With this tool several listings have been made of number of views in systems articles in February 2008, see here.

4 March - Systems Science Portal extended

The Systems Science Portal is further extended. It now introduces 10 of the most excellent pictures, 10 images and 10 systems scientists. If you have more suggestions, please let us know here.

[edit] 

1. Create articles about appropriate (and notable) subjects relating to the Systems if they don't already exist.
2. Tag appropriate existing articles with the project template, and assess them.
3. Improve articles by adding appropriately content and references. For some ideas on priorities for improvement see the list of assessed articles by class and importance.
4. Give requested expert attention to systems articles (0 requests pending).
5. Add Systems related articles to your watchlist and keep an eye out for any vandalism.

[edit] 

This project started May 2007 with:

• The recreation of the Category:Systems
• Building this WikiProject Systems website
• Cooperation on major articles like systems theory and systems engineering
• Gather essential data in lists
• Improvement of the systems categories

And action has been taken to:

• Writing, editing and or monitoring systems articles
• Getting people involved in this project
• Assessment of systems articles
• Controlling changes made to the systems articles
• A WikiProject Systems Engineering Initiative
• A Wikipedia:WikiProject Cybernetics Initiative
• Initiation of the Portal:Systems science

WikiProject Systems is still working on those items.
