Welcome to WikiProject Berbers. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Berbers and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Goals
- ?
It would be appropriate to begin a list of reliable academic sources starting from the latest to oldest as a resource for those who are interested in editing Berber related articles.
Scope
- ?
Per Folantin, the latest installment of the French Encyclopédie berbère is volume number 27 and it's only reached the letter 'K', so there should be plenty of information to add to Wikipedia if anyone wants to take this really seriously. Our Berber articles need a thorough overhaul, including the main Berber peoples article.
