Description

To create new pages and edit existing pages related to the board game Shogi Marchjuly (talk) 01:20, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group

List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.
Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

Although there are a few Misplaced Pages articles are Shogi, the total number is far less than found on the Japanese version of Misplaced Pages (There are 65 Japanese Misplaced Pages pages listed in the category "Shogi." Most of the pages on currently found only provide basic information and could stand to be vastly improved. Many of these pages seem to have been created by persons (possibly native Japanese speakers) who are not native speakers of English and, therefore, need to be edited both in terms of grammar and word usage. There are also many pages that do on currently exist, but should in my opinion be created, e.g., the "Japanese Shogi Association", the "Ladies Professional Shogi Association", the "Federation of European Shogi Associations", etc. Although Shogi is not yet as internationalized as say Chess and Go, there are still quite a number of people worldwide who play it, at least enough to warrant it's own Wiki Project and possibly a few sub projects. In additional to the actual game, shogi or shogi themes are often used in popular culture such as anime and manga.

I think it's important for a wide range of people to be involved with this project and all are, of course, welcome to participate; However, since most of the primary source materials will be in Japanese, it is important to have a least a few people with advanced Japanese language skills (particularly reading) to help with any translation work. In addition, experienced Shogi players and wiki editors would be most welcome to help with wording and editing. Thank you --- Marchjuly (talk) 02:18, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Support

Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.

  1. Marchjuly (talk) 01:20, 31 December 2013 (UTC), I am willing to join this project.

Discussion

Wouldn't this be better as a taskforce shared between WPJAPAN and WPCHESS? (or WPGAMES if WPCHESS is unacceptable) -- 70.24.244.161 (talk) 05:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

@70.24.244.161: I think you're probably right and it would probably be best for any shogi-related project to start off as taskforce of one or more established projects such as WP:BTG and WP:JA to get the ball rolling. It could always be branched off into its own project later on as needed.

I initially made this proposal after noticing that there were separate WikiProjects for Chess and Go. Although there are some similarities between chess and shogi, I never viewed shogi as being a chess variant; I've always considered it to be it's own game. So, I thought that a project might be a good way of finding other editors interested enough in shogi to start creating new articles or improving existing ones. Thanks for spreading the word and posting on those other WikiProject pages. - Marchjuly (talk) 06:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't think WikiProject Chess is much concerned with Shogi overall. It has a common ancestor with chess but it developed in a very different direction and the two games have a completely different character. Apart from the Shogi article itself, which is ranked low importance, there shouldn't really be any Shogi-related articles within the scope of WikiProject Chess. WikiProject Board and table games are the people you need to talk to. MaxBrowne (talk) 23:28, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
