Welcome to the Tour de France task force of WikiProject Cycling! This task force focuses on articles related to the Tour de France. To join, simply add your name here.
Identify articles for improvement to GA and FA status as well as lists for FL status
Recruit interested Wikipedians using the invite template {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling/Tour de France task force/Invite}}.
Remove non-neutral statements from all articles, mostly in opposition or support of a rider.
Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with {{WikiProject Cycling|tdf=yes}}. This will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories. To set a different importance level use {{WikiProject Cycling|tdf=yes|tdf-imp=top/high/mid/low}}.

And a table that shows the structure in an article that is already present.
InfoBox: Every article should have an infobox that shows the main information.
Competitors: There should be something about the competitors. For this tabel, any information, nomatter how little, is enough.
Stage Table: Virtually all Tour articles have tables that show which stage was won by which cyclist, but they should be in the right format, and sourced.
Classification Leadership Table: The leaders of the important classifications should be mentioned per stage, at least for the classifications that awarded jerseys. Sourcing is difficult here, so not needed for now. In early Tours, there was only the general classification, so this information can then be included in the stage table.
Final Standings: Virtually all Tour articles show the final general classification, but they should show all important classifications, and be sourced. Important are at least the classifications that awarded a jersey, and at least the top three should be shown, but preferably the top ten, but this depends on the available sources.
Classification Explanation: There should be a small explanation of how the classifications shown in the final results are calculated, and how the leader was identified.
Doping: From the year 1966 on, when the first doping tests were performed, there should be a list of cyclists who failed doping tests during the Tour, and notable doping-related things should be mentioned. If there were no doping problems, this should be stated. Sources are obviously required.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Tour de France task force articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
There is a userbox available for members of the Tour de France task force. To add the box to your userpage or talk simply add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling/Tour de France task force/Userbox}}.
