Wikipedia:WikiProject Aesthetics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to WikiProject Aesthetics (WPA), a subproject of WikiProject Philosophy.

Contents

[edit] Scope and Goals

The current focus of WPA is to create a representative presence of philosophy of aesthetics on Wikipedia. The current main article of aesthetics makes only passive mention of philosophers and contains no information on important theoretical concepts. Aesthetics is a large and complex field, especially since the boom of works in the 20th century. The vast amount of information is too much for one or two people to handle. The coordinative effort of all those willing to assist is needed.

Since we are a derivative of WikiProject Philosophy, our goals are very similar and are as follows:

  1. To serve as a nexus and discussion area for contributors with knowledge in philosophy of aesthetics.
  2. To identify those areas of aesthetics which lack sufficient coverage on Wikipedia
  3. To improve those articles which need help.
  4. To create a general map of the aesthetics articles and subjects on Wikipedia and link the articles together accordingly.

[edit] Current Priorities

  1. Getting more people!
  2. Identify which pages we should be working on.
  3. Polish Aesthetics to GA or FA level

[edit] Pages Needing Attention

  • Aesthetics, JeffC thinks its almost ready for FA nomination, can we get it there?
