Has now been listed on Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive - please vote. Translate all article names that have been copied over from it.wiki and scn.wiki, here and in the List of Sicilian municipalities. Scour the various categories and sub-categories in it.wiki and scn.wiki looking for likely candidates for translation into English (see scn:Category:Sicilia and it:Categoria:Regione Sicilia). Scour personal (and public) libraries for potential material to create articles on all matters Sicilian (allowing for all copyright laws and proper referencing). Creation of all necessary templates, including Sicilian municipalities and other project related templates. Messages sent to authors who have previously edited Sicilian related articles. Scour existing Sicilian related articles for red links, add to correct sub-category below, may even need to create further sub-categories. The Sicilian Provinces (li pruvinci siciliani) and their municipalities (li soi cumuna) Provinces/Pruvinci Pruvinci siciliani: Province of Agrigento; Province of Caltanissetta; Province of Catania; Province of_Enna; Province of Messina; Province of Palermo; Province of Ragusa; Province of Syracuse; Province of Trapani All of these provinces could probably be expanded somewhat. See also scn:Category:Cumuni dâ Sicilia (a list by each Sicilian province); and it:Categoria:Province della Sicilia. Municipalities/Cumuna There are over 600 Sicilian municipalities, most of which are currently stubs or have not even been started yet. Refer to separate listing: Wikipedia:WikiProject Sicily/List of Sicilian municipalities (based on tavuledda dî noma siciliani). Also describes the correct templates to use. See also scn:Category:Cumuni dâ Sicilia and it:Categoria:Comuni della Sicilia This list needs to be anglicised where necessary, otherwise it makes sense to go with the official Italian name, but including the main Sicilian variants in the actual article. We may need a Sicilian municipality template - no - we have decided to run with the general template used for Italian cities - please follow use of categories as described in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sicily/List_of_Sicilian_municipalities. Other subjects related to Sicily and Sicilians (La Sicilia e li siciliani) Much of what follows is still in the original Italian or Sicilian. Many titles might stay the same, others will definitely need to be anglicised. Many blue links have been left because they all need to be looked at, be they stubs or not. As articles begin to look complete, they can be deleted from this project page. Sicilian history (La storia dâ Sicilia) Main article: History of Sicily (now being voted on in Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive Articles about the history of Sicily (see here) - check thoroughly for red links and add them here See also scn:Category:Storia siciliana and it:Categoria:Storia della Sicilia Biographies of the Sicilian monarchs, such as Simon, Count of Sicily, Roger I of Sicily, William I of Sicily, William II of Sicily, Tancred of Sicily, Roger III of Sicily, William III of Sicily ... for more names see List of monarchs of Naples and Sicily From scn.wiki: scn:Munarchi di Sicilia, scn:Custanza di Sicilia, scn:Enzu di Sardegna, scn:Manfredi di Sicilia; scn:Category:Re siciliani The main monarchs have been done reasonably well (although all should be checked), the lesser monarchs probably need a bit more info.
