WikiProject Philosophy task list
- Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word.
- Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist.
- Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'marxist theory'- although it's an important component of marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the articles weight on Marx is also absurd.
- German Idealism and the articles related to it may need to be rewritten or expanded to avoid undue weight on Arthur Schopenhauer.
- Protected values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
- Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
- Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
- Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
- Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
- Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
- Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
- Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology.
- Amorality This page needs great attention as it is currently totally uninformative and, in my opinion, risks more to confuse readers than inform them, as most people will come here with no knowledge of amoralism and worse, often with huge bias against it.
- Percept The proposed content needs attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only a start in overhaul of perception and related articles.

This, the shiny box thing below the text you are reading right now, allows me to use my account at my school, where one of the other High Schoolers was vandalising. As far as I can tell, somone was adding obscene comments, in English, to the top of the Spanish version of George Wahington's page while we were working on a class project, which really disapoints me. This un-autoblock is going to be really helpful in the near future. Thanks Yamla!

In searching through the various Wikiprojects currently active, I was surprised to discover that there was no engineering project in existance. I proposed it, and hope to get at least 20 interested individuals. If you are interested, please leave your name.

It seems that the guys maintaining General Relativity, to whom I contributed several paragraphs explaining the use of Superstring Theory in integrating Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, don't want my data, so it was deleted. I copied it from the old version and moved it over to Superstring Theory, hoping it will be more appreciated.
