Wikipedia:WikiProject Conceptual Jungle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Conceptual Jungle WikiProject!

This Wikipedia WikiProject has recently started (on September 21, 2006) and still needs to be made fully operational and is currently under construction. Please consider putting your feedback (goals/strategies/scope/project proposals) on the discussion page and adding your name to the list of members.

Goal
  • The Conceptual Jungle WikiProject aims to make Wikipedia (and science (natural sciences and notably the social sciences)) more coherent and comprehensive by engaging the currently existing (and continuously growing) conceptual jungle (i.e. the big diversity of names for concepts without coherence and comprehensiveness). In short the project aims at a scientific nomenclature.
Strategies

The goal is achieved by:

  • Making overviews of these concepts, add them to a table (in case of double/triple worded concepts), and consecutively qualify them to make clear which concepts are (un)useful, (in)confusing, (un)biased, (un)ambiguous, (in)coherent, (in)consistent etc. On the basis of this collective wiki-wide analysis the individual Wikipedia articles can be improved/created/merged/disambiguated/redirected/deleted.
  • Bringing together on one page, articles and discussions on Wikipedia (talk pages of articles, WikiProjects etc.) that make use of abovementioned concepts (e.g. via formats, categories) to enable more coherent and comprehensive wiki-wide analysis/discussions and improvements.
Scope
  • Wikipedia articles on (single worded, double worded (triple worded etc.)) concepts (adjectives, nouns) or Wikipedia articles that make use of these concepts (e.g. via formats, categories).
