CZ:Geography Workgroup/Gazetteer
The Gazetteer is a project to create articles for every continent, country, region and city. It is a subset of the Geography Workgroup. See CZ talk:Geography Workgroup/Gazetteer for discussion of the rules.
Subject Checklists
The following is a guide to help authors and editors to write articles for the Gazetteer. Articles should touch on most of these aspects in order to be comprehensive. This is not as list of sections headers to be copy pasted into articles like a template. Nor is the order of this list important or significant. Each country is different and so must be treated individually when writing. This list is simply so that you can check whither you have comprehensively covered the topic or whither you have omitted something.
