WikiProject Atlas
 This WikiProject aims primarily to organize maps included in commons as an atlas.
It is not in the scope of this project to include in the entries maps of rivers and cities, location maps of provinces and other administrative divisions, maps of administrative divisions, fictional maps and habitat maps.
The Atlas
The atlas should include:
- entries with maps on world level
- entries for each continent and the oceans
- entries for each country, de facto-country and dependency around the world. Each entry should have a
- general section with geographical and political maps
- maps of administrative divisions should be layouted in a gallery
- history section with a summary of the history of the country illustrated with maps (when this section is very lagre, a separate entry can be created)
- section with old maps (when available)
- section with other maps (when available}
- section with satellite maps (when available}
- entries for major former nations
- entries for historical themes
- thematic entries
The atlas is in the English language. Maps in other languages are included when the same map in English is not available. Maps in the native language of the entity involved can be included. The general introduction in each entity is in English, but an introduction in the native language can be included. The text of the history section is in English.
