From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to the Google Doodle task force!
This project is a task force of Today's articles for improvement. Our goal is to improve articles on the subjects of current and former Google Doodles to thoroughly pique readers' interest. Readers and new editors are especially encouraged to participate!

Goals

Google is the most widely-used search engine, and subjects featured on Google's main page as Google Doodles gain worldwide attention. Very often, the first resource that people consult is the subject's Wikipedia article. Our goal is to make these articles a valuable and inspiring resource for readers by improving and maintaining articles on Google Doodles, with an emphasis on ones that are currently live.

Process

The official scope of the project is defined by the articles listed on the lists of Google Doodles. We emphasize articles on the subjects of current Google Doodles, and {{Google Doodle}} may be placed on these articles for the duration it is featured on the Google home page. The goal of a collaboration is to use widespread collaborative editing to thoroughly inform our readers on these influential subjects. Although the template should be removed from the article when the Google Doodle is no longer active, collaborations should last two days.

Most doodles do not have a worldwide reach. To find out the reach of a Doodle, go to http://google.com/doodles.

  • For doodles targeted at 1-4 countries, then there should be no collaboration, unless it is featured in the United States (where most of Google's traffic comes from); or, for events, it is celebrated in more than four countries. If this applies, treat it like a doodle targeted at 5-50 countries.
  • For doodles targeted at 5-50 countries, then there should be a collaboration, but do not send notices to members of the project unless they opt in at #Frequent notifications, and do not place the template.
  • For doodles targeted at 51 countries or more, notices should be sent to all members on the notifications list and the {{Google Doodle}} template should be placed.

If there are multiple qualifying Google Doodles in a day, the doodle with the widest reach is the collaboration.

To set the article and its corresponding image if there is a Google Doodle for the day, adjust /article and /image with the bare title of the article and image. In the rare case that a Google Doodle conflicts with a TAFI selection, the template should not be placed; however, the article and the title should still be filled in. It is also common for Google Doodle articles to be semi-protected for the whole duration for a collaboration. This is not a reason to abandon the collaboration; the template will automatically encourage the newest editors to submit an edit request if they wish to edit.
