Welcome to the Anthropology WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Anthropology.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

Goals
  • This project is dedicated to creating, improving, and maintaining articles related to the subject of anthropology.
Scope

Contents

[edit] Guidelines

For best practices in creating and editing articles, see the Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

[edit] Overlap with other projects

Since anthropology is such a broad subject, there will probably need to be a lot of cooperation with other wikiprojects. Already existing wikiprojects that might overlap with this include (but are definitely not limited to):

Note: An * denotes a project that might end up becoming under our parentage.

[edit] Open tasks

This is a new project, and several things need to be done now. Many of these things will remain important as the project develops. Among them are

  • Recruiting new members and keeping the members we have
  • Improving the articles within the scope of this project
  • Creating articles which are important, but do not yet exist
  • Actively maintaining the quality of articles which already exist, including making changes to them as required by circumstance
