If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope

We will strive to improve all Atheism-Related articles to Featured Article status, while still retaining a neutral point of view. We will also help prevent religion-based censorship throughout Wikipedia. This will also serve as a common ground for the many atheists spread across Wikipedia.

[edit] To do:

Please feel free to change the "to-do list" accordingly, keeping with the format. The list is here so we can make up-to-date changes.

	To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Atheism:	edit  · history  · watch  · refresh
To Do List: edit - history - watch - purge Join WikiProject atheism and be bold Show off a userbox with {{userWPA}} or {{userWPA2}} and attract potential members Help with articles. See this month's adopt an article. Help out with the To-do lists Be consistent Use a "standard" layout for atheism related articles (see: atheism layout style, The perfect article, and Featured articles) Add Atheism navigation template on the bottom of all atheism articles; (use {{Atheism}} or see navigation template) Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box) Add {{Category:atheism}} to the bottom of all atheism related articles, so it shows up on the list of atheism articles Maintenance / Etc Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources, and atheism references). Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process) Watch the list of atheism related articles and add to accordingly (see atheism articles) And always write for an encyclopedia. Article to improve for the month of November Agnosticism Create Notable atheist articles Shorten / merge into others false choice into false dilemma - discuss whether you are for or against this merge here Expand an atheism stub Your immediate attention false choice into false dilemma - discuss whether you are for or against this merge here Clarify references in Atheism, using footnotes.

[edit] Projects/tasks

• Find and cite reputable sources for all atheism-related articles.
• Organize and expand To Do List, perhaps with ideas from Wikipedia:Maintenance.
• Create more efficent and better-looking infoboxes, userboxes, and other templates.
• Help with any edit on list of atheism-related articles below.
• Help in assessing the project's articles is requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Atheism/Assessment.

[edit] Article-specific projects

• Improve atheism.
• Improve related articles, like nontheism and agnosticism.
• Improve List of atheists to Featured List quality by adding citations and concise and relevant details to each entry.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

This month's article (October 2006): Criticism of atheism

Previous articles:

• Agnosticism
• Agnostic Theism
• Alatrism (article deleted)
• religious satire
