Wikipedia:WikiProject Current Local City Time

Goals

The aim of the Current Local City Time (CLCT) WikiProject is to insert the current time and date that corresponds to a location. The geographical location should be a city within an already existing Wikipedia article. Due to the electronic nature of Wikipedia, we are capable of formatting, in the most efficient way possible, the exact time at a given location.

Background

This idea originated while reformatting my talk page. It was inspired by WP:WikiProject Time and User:Xilar. In January 2007, a trial run began with the article Ottawa. Time Zones are diverse throughout the entire world, maybe sub-consciously the fact that my friend just left for a trip to London, England may have influenced my iniative towards this project. Now, however, we need to work together to implement a plan. We must figure out what is the best way to add the current city time to all city articles.

Suggestions: What to do

1 - we need to make a list of articles which we have successfully added the time stamp

• perhaps a new temporary category should be included in the template

• add a link to that new category from this page.

2 - Check [[Category:Cities by country]] and see if we can't make a program to send a message to every one of those article's talk page. Users would see the message and could add the time themselves. (This is above my capabilities)
