Welcome to '''WikiProject Apple Inc.!''' This is the central hub to coordinate all improvements to Wikipedia's coverage of [[Apple Inc.|Apple]], the [[Mac (computer)|Mac]], [[iOS (Apple)|iOS]] products, and related topics. If you need any help, head to the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Macintosh|talk page]]!
Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] to improve and standardize the quality of all [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[Macintosh]] related articles to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article standard]]. This is an important WikiProject because it will help hundreds of articles become more noticed and recognized and reliable sources of detailed and concise information in the area of business, software (including games), hardware and biographies all relating to the [[Macintosh]] and [[Apple Inc.]]

== Project goals ==
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc./box-footer|}}
Although the English Wikipedia is probably the most complete encyclopedia in existence for Apple Macintosh information, this does not mean it covers every topic in the detail that it can. The main goal of this project is to ensure that Wikipedia has concise and detailed articles about every subject relating to the Apple Macintosh and Apple Computers. There are lists of articles that need to be worked on, in their own categories including OS, Biography, hardware, software and Business. The Project also endeavors to unite [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] knowledgeable about Apple and their products to work on the improvement focus article as a community and improve that article to featured status.

== Tips ==
== Dashboard ==
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc./Dashboard}}
To get an article to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] status, make sure to follow these steps to ensure all articles we submit to [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|Featured article candidates]] meet the FA criteria. All of these apply to almost any good article, so keep them in mind when editing even outside of Macintosh articles. The suggestions are:
{{clear}}
{|cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4
|-
|bgcolor=#ffffcc| <font face=verdana,arial>'''I'''.</font>
||'''Write a good lead.''' Be sure to write a [[WP:Lead|lead]] that concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subject.
|-
|bgcolor=#ffff99| <font face=verdana,arial>'''II'''.</font>
||'''Use good spelling and grammar.''' This is a very important aspect of an article. If you edit Wikipedia using Safari on Mac OS X, you can use the built-in spelling checker accessible from the Edit menu to check spelling in an article.
|-
|bgcolor=#ffcc66| <font face=verdana,arial>'''III'''.</font>
|| '''Use footnotes.''' Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has. Instead of including html links inside the context, include them as footnotes. See [[Wikipedia:Footnotes]] on how to use them.
|-
|bgcolor=orange| <font face=verdana,arial>'''IV'''.</font>
|| '''Use images if possible.''' Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. See [[Wikipedia:Images]] for more information.
|-
|bgcolor=#ff7200| <font face=verdana,arial>'''V'''.</font>
|| '''Use references.''' This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a <nowiki>==References==</nowiki> section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. An article will not get accepted as a featured article candidate if it is missing references. See [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]], [[Wikipedia:Cite sources]] and [[Wikipedia:References]].
|-
|bgcolor=#d45f00| <font face=verdana,arial>'''VI'''.</font>
|| '''Stay on topic.''' Many articles are criticized for length; sticking to the subject matter helps eliminate this. Know that causes are more important than effects: The fact that [[Apple Computer]] is the maker of the [[Apple Macintosh]] (an effect from the view of the former) is not as helpful as, say, how the new iMac explains the 1998 jump in sales (a cause of something pertaining to the company).
|-
|bgcolor=#8b4513| <font face=verdana,arial>'''VI'''.</font>
|| '''[[KISS principle|Keep it simple]].''' Remember that although these are computer articles, the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. This is not to say that tech specs are bad—they do have their place on Wikipedia—but articles should explain terms such as "[[megahertz]]", " [[RAM]]", and "256x256 B&W bitmap display" (taken from an actual article). And although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary.
|-
|bgcolor=#663300| <font face=verdana,arial>'''VII'''.</font>
|| '''Use [[common sense]].''' You should know what [[Wikipedia:The_perfect_article|perfect articles]] look like. They cover everything they should without going on forever. Common sense could have told you almost all of the items mentioned above. Ultimately, [[Wikipedia:assume good faith|assume good faith]], [[WP:BB|be '''bold''']], and go out there and write some good articles.

== Referencing information ==
== Welcome! ==
Useful places to '''find''' references:
* [http://books.google.com/ Google Book Search BETA - Find books and search the full text of books]
* [http://www.google.com/mac Google Search Engine - Mac specific search to find websites, news articles, etc for information]

==Quality assessment==
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Macintosh articles by quality}}
*[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Macintosh articles by quality log]]
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Macintosh articles by quality statistics}}


First, if you want to start small, you may want to start with easier things, like finding citations or copyediting. For help on how to do those things, check out [[Help:Introduction]].
==To-do==
The main articles we're working on are the current Macintosh collaboration and the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|FAC]] (the collaboration emeritus, if you will). They are stated above but are restated here:
* '''FAC:''' ''none'' <!--([[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/(insert article name here)|vote]])-->.
* '''[[Macintosh collaboration]]:''' [[Apple II family]]
Those looking to edit as a community are urged to focus on the above articles. If you prefer to fly solo, however, consider the articles listed below. Note that these often entail less description. These are articles which you would be hard-pressed to bring up to featured quality. '''Bolded''' articles have a high possibility of becoming the improvement focus in the near future (next few months).
* Companies: [[Claris]], [[FileMaker Inc.]]
* Important Apple-related people: '''[[Steve Jobs]]''', [[Bill Atkinson]], [[Michael Scott (Apple Computer)|Michael Scott]], [[Susan Kare]], [[Andy Hertzfeld]], [[Mike Markkula]], [[John Sculley]], [[Michael Spindler]], [[Jean-Louis Gassée]], [[Gil Amelio]], '''[[Steve Wozniak]]'''
* Current hardware: [[Mac mini]], '''[[iMac]]''', [[Mac Pro]], [[MacBook]], [[MacBook Pro]], [[Xserve]], [[ITV (Apple product)|iTV]]
* Revolutionary hardware: '''[[Apple II]]''', [[Macintosh 128K]], [[Apple Lisa]]
* Current software: '''[[iTunes]]''', [[iChat]], [[iPhoto]], [[iMovie]], [[iDVD]], [[GarageBand]], [[iWeb]], [[iLife]], [[iWork]], '''[[Mac OS X]]''', [[Pages (software)]], [[Keynote (software)]]
* Revolutionary software: [[MacPaint]], [[MacWrite]], [[MacProject]], [[MacDraw]], [[Personal Filing System]] (PFS - database)
* Books: [[Apple Confidential]], [[Infinite Loop (book)]], [[Odyssey:Pepsi to Apple]], [[The Macintosh Way]]
* Historical topics: '''[[History of Apple Computer]]''', [[Mac OS history]], [[Mac OS X history]]
* Expansion: [[:Category:Macintosh stubs]]
* Programming & technical: [[Carbon (API)]], [[Cocoa (API)]], [[ResEdit]], [[Macintosh Programmers Workshop]], [[QuickDraw]], [[Mac OS memory management]], [[Xcode]]
* Filesystems: [[Macintosh File System]], [[Hierarchical File System]], [[HFS Plus|HFS+]]


If you're feeling more ambitious, feel free to check out the project's list of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc./Showcase|Vital articles]]. Currently, 64 Apple-related articles are considered [[Wikipedia:Vital articles|vital encyclopedic content]]. Please help us improve those articles! You're also welcome to help bring any article to [[WP:Good article|Good article]] status!

*The [[iPod]] article is currently very near becoming featured, and is currently being Peer Reviewed. — [[User:Wackymacs|Wackymacs]] 12:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
*There is a [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (trademarks)#Trademarks that don't begin with a capital letter|straw poll]] to see what usage to adopt as far as copyrighted items that begin with a lowercase letter (like iTunes, iMac, iBook, etc.).
*[[Macintosh]] goes live on the Main Page as Featured and instantly receives a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Macintosh&action=history ton] of [[Wikipedia:vandalism|vandalism]]. '''Semi-protection is needed''', any admin should probably do this now.
*Is a Mac an Apple? Is it an Apple Mac? Or Apple's Mac? [[Talk:Apple Macintosh#Calling Macs "Apples"|Discuss]].
*[[Wikipedia:Macintosh collaboration]] "goes live"; this collaboration will replace the improvement focus.
*The logo situation looks bleak. We are currently using the [[:Image:Macintosh 128k transparency.png|128k mac]], released under the GFDL.
*The [[Intego]] software [[Virus Barrier X4]] and [[Chat Barrier X4]] have been added. Please feel free to expand and alter them. [[User:MacMad|MacMad]] 19:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

#[[User:Bill Du|<font color="navy">Bill Du</font>]] [[User talk:Bill Du|<font color="green">Talk</font>]] 02:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC) -- [[Mac mini#January-July 2005|Mac mini]] (left Wikipedia on September 27, 2006)
#[[User:MacMad|MacMad]]-- (Left Wikipedia on November 20, 2007}


Our main user box is: {{tlx|User WikiProject Apple Inc.}}
=="Obligations"==
Nobody, member or otherwise, is really forced into doing anything for the WikiProject. However, we request that each member follow certain baseline duties:
*Put {{tl|User WikiProject Macintosh}} (see below) on your userpage to add it to [[:Category:WikiProject Macintosh members]], or add the page manually. Also, put {{tl|Project Macintosh}} in your user or talk page where you can be kept up to date via the "News" section. This is not a substitute for the whole section on this page, though.
*Contribute, at least minimally, to the improvement focus.
*Participate in the voting for the FAC. You can vote to support, oppose, or be neutral&mdash;but vote. You can also vote to choose the [[/next focus|next improvement focus]].
*Be generally active in the affairs of the WikiProject. This includes being up to date on current events (the News section above is great for that).


== Tools ==
There's no point for your username to be in the list above if you have to struggle to meet these guidelines. As long as it's your name you're moving to the ''Former members'' section, it's fine—although we'd prefer that you step up to the plate and participate.


:''For Wikipedia's page on tools, see: [[Wikipedia:Tools]]''
== Templates ==
*[https://refill.toolforge.org/ reFill] - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
To further spread the word about this project, use these templates. Please realize that all the images of these templates are subject to change by a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Macintosh#Template images|vote]]. Also note that when a template has "'''WikiProject Macintosh'''" (bolded), it means that it links to this page (all self referring links are bolded).
*[https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Apple_Inc..html Cleanup listing] - A list of Apple-related articles marked for cleanup

**Companies that made Apple-exclusive software/hardware, like [[The Omni Group]], [[Panic Inc.]], and [[Ambrosia Software]]
**Companies that had notable ties to Apple like [[Adobe Inc.]], [[Akamai Technologies]], and [[Microsoft]].
*For '''third-party ''apps''''' (not games) for the Mac, iOS, or other Apple platforms:
**Apps that are, or were, exclusive to Apple platforms, like [[OmniFocus]], [[BBEdit]], and [[Carbon Copy Cloner]], are in scope.
**Non-exclusive apps that are significant to Mac history, like [[CodeWarrior]], are also in scope.
**Not in scope: cross-platform apps that lack direct relevance to Apple history. If there's no Apple-related information we can add to an article, tagging us is pointless.
*'''No video games'''! Tag those with [[WP:WikiProject Video games]] instead.
**Only exception: games and consoles made or published by Apple, like [[Apple Pippin]] and [[Vortex (iPod game)]].

*{{tl|mac-stub}} is for [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]] articles relating to the Macintosh:

:It puts the article in [[:Category:Macintosh stubs]].
*Wikipedia software cannot display the first letter of a title as lowercase. However, Apple has many articles that do just that. {{tl|lowercase}} should be used, it is rendered as:

:Note that it has a category attached to it. Also note that although it is not strictly for the WikiProject, it deserves mention here because of its high applicability.
*{{tl|mac specs}} is an infobox for articles about specific Macintosh models, mostly used on older (pre-Quadra) models at present. See [[Macintosh II]] for an example of the template in action. It does not put the article in any categories.
*{{tl|Apple}} is a navigational template for Apple Inc.-related articles. See it in use on the bottom of [[Apple Inc.]] It does not come with a category.
*{{tl|Apple hardware since 1998}} is a navigational template for Apple hardware articles, preferably recent ones as the name says. See it used on the bottom of [[iPod]].
*{{tl|Apple software}}. Like the hardware template but for Apple software.

===For user pages===
*{{tl|Project Macintosh}} for '''your''' user page or '''your''' talk page to keep track of this project (template shown at the top of this page). It does ''not'' add a category. This is now more important then ever because of the "News" section; it is an easy way to contact all members and keep them informed.

*{{tl|User WikiProject Macintosh}} is for [[Wikipedia:Babel|Babel]] tags. It adds the page to [[:Category:WikiProject Macintosh members]]. If you do not wish to display this template, add the category by regular means to your userpage. If you do wish to use the template, put "WikiProject Macintosh" in your Babel template (don't forget to adjust the number at the start of the template as to accommodate this!) and it turns out as:
