[edit] Members

Since this project is so big, it maybe be helpful to label what people's roles are (i.e. fact checker, source designer, fact numberer, article formatter, suggestions).

• Adamsan. Splendid idea, I am a recent convert to footnoting everything but can certainly check any claims relating to archaeology, cultural traditions and the past in general. adamsan 11:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Alterego Formatting citations properly and helping articles that have no citations by including them.
• Andries Volunteer to check references in Dutch and German language. I believe that strictly confining ourselves to English language hurts the scope and the quality of the English language Wikipedia. Sometimes non-English language sources are simply better. Andries 23:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Avi 20:26, 9 February 2006 (UTC) - I often attempt to track down and reference basic facts using Harvard/MLA style if possible, or at the very least adding reference section.
• CAnderson -- Willing to help with fact checking and adding references, especially in linguistics and medieval history.
• Courtland 01:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC) ... very supportive of the efforts here as I think they are essential, and quite concerned with the apparent lack of will to reference on the part of most editors.
• ClairSamoht - citation adder
• Danny - I would like to be involved in some way.
• David Gerard - trying to encourage referencing as a habit in general. Then we might have something to check!
• English212 We are a group from Saginaw Valley State University. We are fact checking the Child Labor Article. Tahnk you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by English212 (talk • contribs).
• Epolk 17:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC) - Fact checking and referencing for United States Federal Government agencies and science topics.
• Frazzydee: I wouldn't be able to create the script or implement it, but I would be happy to go around verifying facts.
• Fred Bauder 15:47, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC) I'll follow this project and support it. Down and dirty going through articles, no as once you get started I'll have my hands full justifying prior entries. I just need to develop better habits of citing sources as do most Wikipedia editors
• Fridaymorninggirls We are a group from SVSU. We are fact checking the [Safe Sex] article. Thank you in advance for allowing us to finish our project without interruption
• HappyCamper 23:27, 21 October 2005 (UTC) - any fact checking, particularly quantum chemistry related
• Ian Pitchford Fact checker etc. --Ian Pitchford 17:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• JesseW - Supporter. Great idea. I've been doing this piecemeal, but it's nice to see a project set up.
• JFW | T@lk 19:26, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC) - Experienced in (and enjoying) journals (mainly medical ones), aims to provide exact references[1].
• Jleybov 23:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC) - hoping to implement some of the requested features in software
• Jmabel - Consider me a supporter. Not sure how involved I'll be.
• Johnleemk - I've been campaigning for better referencing for quite a while, as I feel we need to get the habit of citing sources inculcated in our Wikipedia culture on the same level as bolding an article title. I cite sources for whatever suits my fancy, but I tend to focus on economics-, business- and politics-related articles.
• Johntex - fact checking on articles I encounter. Also conversion of existing references to the preferred ref-note style.
• JustDerek - As a genealogist, the impulse to cite sources is near and dear to my heart. Formatter, fact-checker, etc. and I have suggestions for standardization of citation/reference format.
• Kool-Aid Jammers We are fact checking and making other changes to "Kool-Aid". Thanks The Kool-Aid Jamers
• — mark ✎ — Wikipedia's Verifiability is precious. I'm fact checking in the domain of (African) languages and linguistics.
• Messedrocker - I think founding the Article Referencing Drive makes me a member somehow.
• Mozzerati - supporter, heavy user of references, converter of pages to footnote usage.
• MSJapan Factchecking on Japan and Japanese sources in particular, and just about anything else in general. MSJapan 08:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Neoconned 16:14, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC) - I intend to (very slowly) continue referencing work on a previous Biweekly Special Article, Leonardo da Vinci. This is not because I have a particular interest in da Vinci, but simply because I'd like to see the job finished!
• Nichalp -- will attest sources, whenever necessary.
• P.MacUidhir (t) (c) - I am interested in doing fact-checking / providing article citations / whatever for any articles related to northern Europe in general, pagan religions, library science, Celtic languages, and Germanic languages. Topics that focus on items/events/people after 1650 C.E. do not much interest me. Anything older usually * will* catch my interest. Requests can be posted to my (talk page).
• Pearlg - Fact checker, primarily in political science, general science, and engineering.
• Pedant fact checking, recruiting... count me in, I'll factcheck anything, drop a link to the article and a quick note on my talk page, if I can't do it I'll point out the part I couldn't do to someone else.
• Peter Farago - I hereby declare my eternal fealty to the citation jihad. No quarter for uncited assertions!

• Quinobi -General support - reference and relevance tools - tractor driver

• ShaunMacPherson - Fact Checker, Fact Numberer, Recommendations
• Spangineer^es (háblame) We need more inline citations in this place...
