[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):
- Culture*
- Ethnic groups*
- Linguistics
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Primates*
- Evolutionary biology
- Anatomy
- Archaeology*
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
