SomeThis [[Wikipedian]]sis have'''WikiProject formedon Computer networking''' a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] created to better organize information in articles related to '''[[Computer networking]]'''. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] there.

=== Scope ===
==Title==
'''WikiProject on Computer networking'''
==Scope==
For all articles related to [[computer networking]]. Networks rely heavily on protocols and that is the primary focus, but may also include models (e.g., [[OSI model]]), hardware and applications.
Like all good wikipedia articles, each computer networking article should explain the basics (what an IP address is) as well as the technical details (packet structure).

==Related [[Wikipedia:Portal|Wikiportals]]==
=== Content ===
==== Common elements ====
Each networking technlogy article should include a minimum set of standard elements, as follows:
* General description
* References and external links. [[Wikipedia:Cite Sources|Cite Sources]]! See [[Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style]].
* Appropriate categorization. See [[Wikipedia:Categorization]].
=== Organization ===
No related Wikiportals have been named.
Here are a few ideas for how to organize articles. These don't necessarily have to correspond to the actual section headers and divisions, and they are no more than suggestions. Don't try to conform to them if it isn't helping improve the article in question.

==Structure==
A protocol article should contain the following:
* General description
* History of the protocol
** Who started it
* Any related technical discussions (e.g., fragmentation and reassembly for [[IPv4]])
A hardware specific article should contain the following:
* General description
* What is it used for (what protocols, versions, etc.)
* Hardware features

==Adopt an article==
Similar to the [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|Collaboration of the week]], but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

<!--
stubs are managed by the [[WP:WSS|Stub-sorting WikiProject]]. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]]. See [[Wikipedia:Stub]] for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted.

===New Wikipedia articles related to Computer networking===
Please feel free to list your new Computer networking-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the [[Template talk:Did you know|Did you know?]] box on the [[Main]] Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.
<!--For one example of listing new articles, see [[Wikipedia:Japanese Wikipedians' notice board#It's new!]]. Listing the articles often gets other editors to help improve and expand a new article.-->
